    A SOMEWHAT COMPETENT SCANNER
    Rating:3 out of 5 stars
    I’ve owned several scanners over the last 20 years. I bought this particular scanner via Amazon because I wanted something that will handle a full size book conveniently.

    As far as scanning goes, this does a very nice job. It’s reasonably quick, and with an optical resolution of 2400, this machine will do a credible job of just about anything you care to scan. As I’d hoped, the large platen allows me to lay out a full size book and capture both pages at once. It will scan in full size pages of sheet music without requiring you to stitch together images made with multiple scans of different parts of the page. I’ve also scanned the cover art from DVD’s, and have been pleased with the results.

    Mustek’s downfall is their choice of software that comes included with the equipment. The programs for scanning have a limited utility, cannot make full use of the scanner’s capabilities, and are so poorly documented it’s nearly impossible to store your images in any location other than the default “My Pictures”.

    Worst of all, I haven’t been able to locate a driver that works with the older Windows XP operating system. Technical Support at Mustek were unable/unwilling to help me. I was told there was no driver available for this model that is compatible with Windows XP, and that they have no plans to create one.

    The driver did install correctly on my Vista laptop. But that machine has less power and memory than my older, XP desktop.

    I just downloaded the driver for the A3 USB 1200, and plan on trying to install that, then hack into the registry to manually change the values that differ between the two models.

    If you’re looking for a large format scanner to use with Windows XP, either look elsewhere than at Mustek, or stick with their lower priced, ScanExpress A3 USB 1200 model.
