Requirements [Posted on 1999-12-25]
The system requirements before this was ordered indicated the scanner could be used with Windows 95. Upon receiving the scanner as a gift(ordered thru Amazon) there are no instructions for loading to Windows 95. The outside of the box says Window 98 is a minimum requirement. The scanner seems like it would be a great product. I wish I could use it.
Mine works great and the installations was a breeze! [Posted on 1999-12-30]
I bought the SlimScan C6 in a store, not online, and I was very satisfied! I have the parallel port version. It was very easy to set up. Just plug you printer into your scanner then your scanner into your computer. That's it. The software was easy to. Just follow the on screen directions. Plus the software they gave was great! Overall I thought this product deserves all the stars it can get!
Not up to Microtek standards [Posted on 2000-01-12]
I bought this scanner because of its low profile and "scan" button, and because my Microtek E3 was a great product. Unfortunately, hookup was a problem. Microtek seems to have written their code to require the very latest USB drivers from Intel, so unless you find the right support note on the Microtek web site (and the link to Intel's page) you will be very frustrated hooking this USB device up to your system. Even after a four-hour installation process, I still cannot get the button on the front of the scanner to function properly. The ScanWizard TWAIN driver is excellent, but don't bother installing the rest of the software. The OCR package is particularly poor. The only redeeming thing about this product is its price and it's low profile
Good Quality Scanner [Posted on 2000-04-03]
I format my HDD from time to time, but I never had any problem installing the scanner ...even using it. For the price, it is a bargain. Picture quality is good, and I even bought the the device on-line.
A fine product, by a fine company. [Posted on 2000-04-04]
After being quite content with my now-outdated Microtek E3 SCSI scanner, I decided to go Microtek again with the new slimscan USB. Although I would say that scans are slower than the older SCSI model, the overall quality is much better, and the interface is improved. As mentioned in other reviews, the OCR provided with the package is somewhat weak, but functional. I would recommend purchasing OmniPage Pro by Caere for higher-quality OCR recognition, although this may run you around a hundred dollars, last time I checked. The model is quite thin, although I too have had troubles making the button in the front, which is supposed to launch applications in Windows, functional. All in all a solid purchase at a solid value. -Pete
