 No tech support February 1, 2002

My 8100 is about a year old. The scanner goes through the pre scan then gives a error message to unlock the scanner and stops the scan. It is not locked. After several calls to tech support at my expense (no toll free #) I finally got to talk to a rep. They gave me some basic things to try that didn't work. sense that time I have not been able to get anyone to answer the phone at tech support. I have went through the lengthy automated trouble shooting system again at my phone expense. I have spent about 25 dollars on phone calls (On hold one time for 1 hour) If you buy this scanner and need support of any kind GOOD LUCK. I will have to trash a scanner that has been used only a few times because of need for tech. support with the software. Kind of a helpless feeling.
 great so far! May 16, 2001

i just bought this scanner about 6 hours ago and so far i love it. i chose it based on the reviews here and the features, and after checking out a lot of other similarly-priced scanners the same way. the set-up was mindless and the software install went without a hitch. i made my first scan about a half hour after i started -- and this is my first scanner and first ever experience with one. i got it primarily for business scanning of text documents -- for faxing and copying using my lazer printer and fax modem software. it's perfect for those uses. it scans a text document in about 10 seconds (for both faxing and copying) which is almost as fast as a good quality fast-scan fax machine. just what i wanted. the copy button works perfectly for making copies that are virtually indistinguishable from the original. as for the fax ("custom") button, however, i found a problem there. i think the problem is actually with my pic win95 fax printer, which is where the fax (custom) button sends the scan to be converted to a fax document. but that problem was easily solved by using my fax software "scan" function instead, which gives a high quality fax document with no glitches. i haven't tried scanning a photograph yet, or the ocr software that came with the scanner, but for 100 bucks you can't beat this machine which is now doubling as a fax machine and copier, both of high quality product. also, the lamp normally stays on but can be set to turn off after 15 minutes (but not less). it only takes about 50 seconds for the lamp to warm-up after being off, which is great. so far, i highly recommend this scanner -- i just hope it lasts awhile. hope this review was helpful.
Visioneer Doesn't Play nice with WinXP July 9, 2003

I will never buy another Visioneer product. I bought a 7600. When it was less than two years old and still available at retail,I upgraded to XP. Guess which company has yet to upgrade PaperPort 6.0 (their proprietary software) for this scanner use with XP. They give you a rediculous clumsy workaround to install the drivers that has to be redone everytime you disconnect the scanner (that's fun when your're using a laptop!) Bad move Visioneer. You are the only major company that I'm aware of that didn't catch up with XP within 6-8 months or less.

When I first hooked this scanner up I had some problems, so I called for help. The assistant on the other line was rude, and seemed to be in a hurry. I have installed this scanner on my BRAND NEW computer, and oops, mouse slows down, commands slow down, everything slows down and doen't respond. I did a system restore. Installed the scanner again, same problem. Yes, you guessed it I tried a third time. That's it I am returning this product. How could a company sell a product like this. Also, another customer had mentioned that he had Windows ME (2000) and thought that maybe the CD wasn't compatable, I also thought this, but certainly a good company would have updated their software by now. Or let me know when I was on the phone, that some customers may experience system problems. Do not buy this product, don't let the low price fool you.
 Excellent scanner for the money November 21, 2000

I bought this scanner because of the low price and one-touch features expecting to upgrade in the future.Was I surprised! The set-up was a breeze and it is so easy to use. The editing software does a great job. I have no need to upgrade. I recommend this to any first time scanner buyer.
