Digital camera reviews of Microtek ScanMaker i320 High-Resolution Flatbed ScannerDigital camera Review: Good scanner for the price, with a few minor drawbacks Summary: 4 StarsI purchased this primarily for quick document scans for our office. I've had no issues at all with the scan quality. The scan speed is a little on the slow side but is still tolerable. However, the software (at least for Mac OS X) seems very unpolished. So far I haven't found a way to save some key preferences from session to session. It would save a lot of time if I didn't have to reset the resolution, color depth, and file type every time I relaunched the program.
Two minor quibbles:
1) The noise is more high-pitched (and annoying) than other scanners I've used.
2) By default, the scan is oriented so that the top of the page is on the side opposite the lid hinge. This seems a little counterintuitive.
The scanner still does a great job for the price with some tradeoffs in efficiency.
