Mutek's compact, space-saving scanner falls short in speed tests.

The $100 BearPaw 1200CU is best suited for home users who want a low-priced, compact scanner with easy-to-use buttons.

A fast unit capable of handling heavy OCR work.

When the add-on automatic document feeder becomes available, the Mustek BearPaw 1200F could make an especially sensible choice for anyone who needs a fast unit capable of handling heavy OCR work. But if scan quality matters more to you, scanners such...

Bought the machine through an AOL program but it gave the impression that a Mac user could operate the thing. I actually can get it to scan on my Mac but without the use of buttons. Just with soft ware and it's limited.

I hate it! I was ripped off when I bought this. How could I know that I would never be able to ugrade it to a new Operating System. You could at least write new drivers for Windows XP and Windows 2000. I feel cheated! Rose Mary Hughes

Product Specifications

The Mustek Be@rPaw CU series is the next generation in scanning. It was designed with decor in mind. It also includes a front panel with five easy-to-use buttons, which are attached to unique functions such as scanning, faxing, copying and e-mailing. This innovative scanner features Plug and Play scanning through a direct USB connection. Installation of the Be@rPaw CU couldn't be easier. Thanks to the power of the Universal Serial Bus connection, you simply plug the Be@rPaw CU scanner into the USB port on your Windows 98 computer. The USB interface permits faster image transfer rates than standard parallel port scanners (up to 12 MBPS) and enables "hot-swapping " so users can connect the scanner only when needed. The Be@rPaw CU features some of the highest software enhanced resolution ever seen. It has an optical resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi with a maximum software enhanced resolution of 19, 200 dpi! The Be@rPaw CU's patented BDIT (Bit Depth Increased Technology) enhancement captures a 36-bit color image and enhances it to a brilliant 48-bit.
