Mustek Plug-N-Scan 1200 UB

 

The 1200 UB is a compact scanner for space-limited home or SOHO users looking for an inexpensive, easy-to-use, entry-level unit. But if speed and image quality are your priorities, the equally diminutive Canon CanoScan FB 630P is a better performer.

Good Scanner But You Get What You Pay For

for the money there's better

I bought one of these when they first came out. The scans aren't too bad if you realy play with the settings (the bundled software's not too bad either).On the serious problem side, the drivers cause problems with certain peripherals when using Win 98,...
