Great for the price !
|
I purchased this scanner used, for $10 from the local Habitat for Humanity store- they even gave me a 7 day performance guarantee !! Not bad !
Installation was very easy. I downloaded and installed the latest driver version from the Epson website. WinXP recognized the scanner upon connection and configured the driver(s) for me. After installation, I am able to use the scanner with Epson native TWAIN software, WinXP Scanner applets or PS Elements 2. Scans so far have been excellent, either of photographs, important documents or magazine articles. I have had no problem copying an image or text from the preview screen into a document or saveing a high resolution scan. I have not taken the time to explore the color management features of the Epson TWAIN driver, so I can not fully comment on the ability to color manage or restore photographs, slides and/or film. So far I have tended to use PSE 2.0 for those tasks. Others have commented that the Epson software is complete and usefull- I'll leave it at that.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase (hah !).
5 stars for value, but 4 stars for absolute quality. More recently produced scanners are capable of yielding much better overall scan quality for critical applications.
My previous scanner was (is really, I still have it) an HP PSC 750, all in one. The HP 750 is easier to use for basic functions because it has fewer feature choices and is faster to deliver a completed scan. On the other hand, output quality from the 2400 is much better than what the HP machine is capable of. That said, I still use the HP for non critical direct to paper copying. Because I do not use an Epson printer, I have go through the computer to make a paper copy from the 2400. For non critical work, this takes too much time.
Given that the 2400 is now several generations old, it should be cheap to aquire. If you need a cheap utility scanner, look no further. |
