My dad bought this scanner for our PC, instead of the scanner you get as part of the package. I am so glad he picked this as its a fabulous scanner at a reasonable price. I can't remember the price for this, but all i remember is that, at the time this was the best scanner for its price and a top-class cheap scanner. It is made to perform on Windows 98 and iMac.

The scanning is ...  Read the complete review

Boot up Windows and the scanner starts ...  Read the complete review
