Good hardware, bad software

I purchased this scanner a little over a year ago, and was using it on a WinXP workstation. Reasons to purchase included linux and MacOS support, as well as price, size, and that it was USB bus powered (I hate bricks). I moved to Debian linux, ...

USB bus powered, worked good in linux

Mac driver awful, no free software

A Cheap, Sleek and Great Scanner for Your Money

Vivrant and accurate color. Refined, slim and inexpensive.

Slow due to only USB 1.1 capability.

Fast, easy to use, requires no electric power

none to speak of

Lightweight, no external power support needed, great customer service

SLOW SLOW SLOW, resolution could be better, the lock CONSTANTLY sticks causing an error
