This? They say the software is no good on Vista. Id assume its no good on Windows 7 either and dont even think about a Mac. Have you had any software problems? Which OS are you using, if you dont mind? |
I have the plain 3600. I use WinXP/SP2 within VirtualBox on a Linux machine to run the scanner. I'm not that comfortable with Windows, so I haven't tried any of the post-scanning software that comes with the scanner. I just move the scans to my Linux partitions and deal with them there. The Windows software might very well be rubbish. The software that collects the scans is klunky and is Windows-only. On the plus side, you don't have to be at the computer to control the scanning, as each scan is initiated using the buttons on the scanner.
The Plustek website has drivers for Vista and Win7, but I've never used either OS, so I can't say if they work well or not. They were updated 09-30-2009, so maybe they've fixed the problems the Vista users had.
