Good scanner for newbies!

I found the quality and speed to be just fine especially scanning pics for my web page. The software offers all of the options with regard to resolution, size and the various choices you may want to make for a scan if you are a more experienced user. It's a parallel port scanner so it won't work with XP but it runs great on win98. It might be good to use on a second system with Win98 or maybe for the kids on their system. It's not the best but I believe it's a decent scanner that can be found for an inexpensive price now.

Yellow bands and no XP

I used this scanner with great results for a year or so... was very happy with it. Then I started getting yellow bands on my scans (as have MANY OTHER PEOPLE -- most haven't been able to get rid of them). I haven't attempted to see if I can get rid of them because I upgraded to windows XP and UMax doesn't provide an XP compatible driver.... wonderful scanner... for a year.... if you have Windows 98...

Decent but not great scanner...

I owned this scanner for a little less than a year with satisfactory results. The scan speed seemed a little slow on higher-resolution images, but the scan quality was great. After about 9 months I started getting the yellow bands on my scanner that other users seem to get as well. If you have Windows 98, the scanner might be worth purchasing for the low prices it currently sells for, just know that you'll probably only get about a year's worth of scans out of it. However, I did use my scanner fairly heavily for the duration of the 9 months I had it.

The UMAX Astra 2000P is the ideal scanner for home and office. It features intelligent scanning software that simplifies the scanning process. With the Parallel Port interface, setup is simple. Just plug in the scanner, install the software and you're up and running in minutes.Use scanned images to add excitement to your documents, reports and Web pages, or share images by e-mail with clients, family and friends. With the included software you can archive photos and important documents, copy, fax and more! This combination of exclusive hardware and powerful software will be one of the most fun and useful computer tools you'll ever use. Explore your creativity and make your documents come alive.
