Disappointed! [Posted on 2003-06-26]
This is my second Visioneer scanner. I bought this one specifically for its 35mm slide scanning capability. I have followed all of the instructions for software/hardware installation (I used both Windows Me and XP) for USB and still the slide/transpancy feature does not work! Quality of the scanning for color prints lacks sharpness as compared to the Epson/HP scanners that I have used. Will consider Epson or Canon next time.
easy to use but a little bit slow. Bulky. [Posted on 2003-07-04]
Visioneer never states the scanning speed of this scanner. I test it once scanning 4"x6" photo at 300dpi (color). 12 sec to see the preview, and 22 sec to finish scanning and date transfering.
But this is a cheap scanner equipped with USB 1.1, what do you expect. For your info., ScanMaker 5900 with USB 2.0 claims in their spec. that its scanning speed is 18 sec for 4"x6" photo (color) at 300dpi, and 30 sec at 600 dpi. If you do not see stated scanning speed in a scanner's spec., it is safe to assume the measurement is not a proud number. Any guy from Visioneer wants to defend their products? For guys interesting in OCR, I tested it once. The bundled software can recog characters at 99% correct rate in a second. But the page format is not up to my expectation. It miss-read O(Oh!) as 0(zero). I just bought it, so I will play more with it and get more feeling about it. I am a little concerned about its MTBF, becuase its cold fluo. lamp is always on when its power is on. And the "rubber" belt to move the scanning head? I may tell you when it breaks.
The scanner I received had obviously been used. [Posted on 2003-09-29]
The scanner I received had obviously been used. Worse yet it was ship unlocked (there is a lock on the bottom to keep the scanner in alignment during shipping). Tech Depot was good about taking it back and even sent a UPS label to return it. At the moment the scanner is in transit, hopefully I won't have any difficulties with the credit back to my credit card
Don't buy it [Posted on 2004-01-13]
When this scanner works it does a fair job. Prepare to listen to LOTS of noise and lots of scans with nothing but a black strip in the center of the output.
More importantly it is now obsolete and out of production.
I had to reinstall Windows XP and was never able to get the scanner to work again. The Visioneer technical support is no help either. It tells you to call a toll number and then you also pay 2 dollars a minute on top of the toll charge. The web site has updates, none of which help.
Check with Microsoft to see what WIA drivers XP has to use for scanners and you will NOT see Visioneer on the list.
Stay away from Visioneer and it's out of production models.
Seeing Amazon's prices I'm sick. [Posted on 2004-02-20]
I bought one from aol shop direct brand new lost the PaperPort Deluxe Driver Disk.I payed more than I want to say because everybody will want me to buy prime farm ground on the bottom of the Mississippi River.The prices on Amazon are great.
It is not much of a review butI never had the chance to use it much.I hope I don't get in trouble for saying this,but I buy something and they would try to sell me the samething five more times in the same year.
