We plugged in the scanner at that point, let the program find it, and then installed the rest of the software without problems. The process is easy enough, but it ought to be explained correctly in the setup instructions. Once installed, the scanner worked as promised. You'll find five buttons on the front. The fourth brings up a configuration screen so you can define the settings for the first three.
Few scanners do such a good job of meeting the needs of both beginners and sophisticated users.
Microtek's driver has a dual personality. By default, it offers a simple interface with nothing to overwhelm a novice. A single mouse click switches to the advanced interface with custom control over such features as tonal curves and color correction, and adds the ability to scan multiple images on the flatbed using different settings for each. The 4700's performance is in line with that of most scanners we've tested, but on the fast side of the pack. The bundled slide adapter, which scans only one slide at a time and is not recommended for negatives, took only 48 seconds to scan a slide at 1,200dpi.
