DO NOT BUY THIS SCANNER OR ANY OTHER MICROTEK PRODUCTS.

 

Avoid Microtek products. They do not support their products and they do not treat customers with respect.

It worked sufficiently for a few months

This $2200 scanner died after a few months and Microtek's customer support and accountability was absolutely dismal

I purchased a 1000XL pro about a year and a half ago. Recently it no longer communicated with any computer either through the USB2 port of the firewire. When I contacted Microtek they advised me that they had closed their repair facility and all they...

Scanmaker 1000XL
