RE: Recommendation on scanners.
I love my UMAX scanner. My photographer friends swear by them for the high resolution which also helps us with very small print scanning.

Re: Recommendation on scanners.
If you are looking for a single sheet scanner then the most cost effective in terms of scan quality, ease of use and cost is the HP G3110. Not sure what the model number would be in your part of the world but look at the site www.hp.com under scanners for home and home office. Navigation of the site can be a bit tedious but it is worth it. On the other hand, if you are proposing to do a lot of scanning of books or just many sheets then you might look at a slightly different type of scanner. After all, there is nothing more boring than sitting and scanning one side of a book page then turning it over and scanning the second side. I use a Canon DR2580 scanner which is the most amazing piece of technology I have come across in a long time. It does not have the conventional glass plate on which you lay a page and scan it. Instead it passes the page across a scanning head and scans both sides of the page in a few seconds. The document feeder will take about 50 sheets (depending on the thickness of the paper). To give you an idea of the speed of the DR2580, I can scan a 1200 page law book in less than 20 minutes. It is just unfortunate that the O C R ing of the scanned page images takes a lot longer. For a good description of the CANON DR2580 go to www.blindcooltech.com and search for a podcast that was put up there early last year. A search for the character string 2580 should find it. Yes, the DR2580 is probably more expensive than you might expect to pay but, if your time is valuable to you, its speed and quality of output will more than make up for that.

Re: Recommendation on scanners.
But how do scan a book in that scanner without tearing it up or making a copy which takes a lot of time all by itself? I use the Optic Book 360 -- I think they have changed the model number -- and its very nice for scanning books. Its a book edge scanner. on Wednesday 05/27/2009 Robert Nelson(rsnel...@optusnet.com.au) wrote If you are looking for a single sheet scanner then the most cost effective in terms of scan quality, ease of use and cost is the HP G3110.

Re: Recommendation on scanners.
thro Lexmark into the mix. I use the Lexmark 5200 and 5400 series all in one scanners without any problems. I have found that the Epson software is not as easy to use as the software that comes with the Lexmark all in one units. once installed, the software will allow you to work with openbook or Kurzweil without any problems. - Original Message - From: jim gill sf49e...@comcast.net To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 11:27 AM Subject: Recommendation on scanners. hello PC-Audio: I am trying to decide on scanner which I have no knowledge about so I am hoping the list can help me and any help is appreciated very much .
