Customer Reviews:

decent.......2002-12-18

Overall a decent scanner. You'll have to do adjustments to your scans with any scanner. The transparency adapter is pretty good, too. I've had some problems scanning negatives. You have to check with microtek to see where it is available. There were some problems installing the scanner with XP, but i got it to work. They might have even of improved the drivers since then.

Crooked!.......2001-12-05

My scans come out crooked. If I align it at the top the whole thing has to be rotated. If I align it with a side, then it's off center. This is very frustrating and I will return it. The scans came out decent but very dark. I had to lighten them tremendously.
