It seems to me that if the manufacturer says that a scanner will work on a
Mac then there is a very good chance it will. I guess a good practice is
not to accept goods which have been opened, lest some elf has helped
themselves, or take a look in the box when purchasing to make sure the
advertised software of the side of the box is actually there. The other
thing is to buy your equipment from a reputable Australian retailer. The
curse upon Australian electronic equipment distributors are people who buy
an item overseas, then expect the Australian warranty and service back-up to
apply. Usually there is dissatisfaction. I know Officeworks backup to the
hilt what they sell, and will give a refund without argument if the goods
fail to perform as claimed. How many other retailers do that, even the big
ones? Regards, Paul.
