For those equipped with a USB port, installation and use is quicker - for most it should be completely hassle free. The bandwidth provided by USB means the speed of this scanner is adequate for all but the largest jobs. None of the hundreds of scans we made took more than two minutes.

The list includes Adobe PhotoDeluxe, Ulead PhotoImpact 4.0 and Caere PageKeeper Standard. Micrtek's ScanWizard scanning software is excellent and takes only a few minutes to learn.

Push the button on the front of the scanner and the software interface pops up and lets you scan and print copies, OCR a document, scan and fax or scan and e-mail whatever you need to. The only two things missing from the SlimScan C6 package are toll-free tech support and a model capable of scanning legal size documents.
