## Description

Review: Does what it says - Bit big but to be expected. It does however look very smart and sleek. So simple to use and what fantastic quality. Scans up to 1200 dpi in B?w, colour or sepia. Great with old photos and so fast on 600dpi. Much better quality and easier to use than y canon MG 5750 printer. I suppose that's to be expected from a dedicated scanner. If you are looking for a quality scanner then pay the money and buy something good, you will not be disappointed.

### ⭐ Not recomended - not intuitive and certainly not easy to install.
*by J***S on 13 April 2015*

I liked this product for the A3 format and scan-only features. Design wise it also looked good, but was not essential to the choice. This however has been a lesson in patience and endurance. The software were installed and uninstalled several times but continued to flag up error reports of all kinds. While my PC could "see" the A3 scanner - it could not communicate with the drivers and as a result I could not use the product with my PC. I have lost literally days in trying to get it to work but failed. I have had a specialist on site whom spent 3 hours trying to get it to work to no avail. Plustek (manufacturers) support was near on non-existent and only contacted me once to say it must be a factory fault and should send it back. I have in the end had to resort to using a small notebook and Microsoft "camera and scanner wizard" to operate the scanner. It is clunky and unstable but with care I do manage to scan fairly large .png and .jpg files. Scanning to .tiff file format makes it crash every time. Standard setting scans are a waste of time but the higher resolution scans are of fair to good quality. But this is using software not designed to go with the product - so not the best way to test it. I installed the software originally on a Sony Viao Laptop, 64 bit Operating system with Windows 7 Home Premium It has 4GB ram and has an Intel Core i7 processor. I now run it from a ASUS EeePC notebook, with 1GB ram and an INtel Atom processor and it just about do the job. This notebook was never intended to be anything else but a soft-use web and email interface for non-business use. The notebook was a last resort (an old disused unit supplanted by iPad at home) and will now only be used to interface with the scanner. Overall - very disappointing. There is no reason why any new product cannot interface with one of the major operating systems available in the marketplace today. There is nothing intuitive about it I am sad to say. But more than anything - 6 weeks after purchase I am resorting to run it on a makeshift, make-do approach, using hardware not quite up to it and non-propitiatory software. Not the easy resolution and scanning that it promises to be. And the manufacturers seem wholly uninterested in providing any form of support or backup service. Sadly I cannot give a better review - it will be unfair to those of you considering it as an option. If it was not for the fact that I needed a scanner of A3 size and working on a restricted budget, I would not have it. But alternatives are near non existing with an A3 flat bed and I have decided to make do. But I do so with considerable reservations.
