If so, please let me know if it’s as good as it sounds. If you have another one under $200, please let me know as well. Any help is muuuuch appreciated! - JC

I’ve bought two of them so far for my users. Easy to use, reliable, dependable… I love 'em. Good image quality, too.

If you’re getting the USB model, make sure you’re using at least Windows98, not 95. (USB support in 95 is tough, at best.)

IMO, you’ve done your research, and made a good choice. Have fun!

Thanks for the info. I do have 98 by the way. Does it do 81/2 x 14? If not, what is a good one that does?

I think it’s 8.5 x 11. Not sure on who makes good legal-sized scanners…

Sorry.
