Summary: Not Compatable with AMD processors!
Review: A few months ago I purchased this model for use on my AMD processor equipped PC. I run win98SE and have used other USB devices with no trouble. Well, this scanner did not function at all. Tech support was no help. Then I read in the FAQ section of Visioneer's web site that their products do not work with VIA chipsets (most often used with AMD processors). So if you have an amd equipped machine think twice about buying Visioneer. By the way I later purchased an Epson 1200U and it works great!

Summary: Driver conflict on NT 4.0 with SP6
Review: I bought this and installed the hardware/software. Then PC freezes up after use of scanner for 30 seconds or so. Sometimes it freezes even without using scanner. Tried latest driver on their web, no help. Turns out they have driver to solve freeze problem for some other version of their scanners, but not for this. Promptly returned.I am disturbed by the current practice of software/hardware industry for shipping a product without thorough QA. I am extremely happy with the current practice of electronic dealers for letting buyers refund their money without much probing. Do not recommend if you have NT 4.0 (even though the box says it is supported). I have Service Pack 6 and SQL Server 7 installed, not sure if that's the reason. No time to find out. Bryan

Summary: Great Scanner IF you don't have NeoMagic Video Card...
Review: I bought this scanner. It worked just wonderfully on my wife's ancient Toshiba Laptop. The software is a bonus. But on my Dell Lattitude CPI, a Pentium II machine that is my everyday computer, it scanned blue and pink with the vague outline of the picture scanned. After much research, it turns out if you have a notebook with a NeoMagic video card (Acer, Compaq, Dell , HP, Toshiba, Gateway and NEC from the NeoMagic web site), any Visioneer with a 'button' doesn't work - not just the 7600 One Touch, but even the 6100B, which has a single button. I upgraded drivers, etc. There are no fixes. I brought back the 7600, and bought a Canon FB620B. It's slower, but it scans photos very well, and it will work with most laptops.

Summary: Easy hook up, easy to operate and excellent results.
Review: I had first bought an other brand of scanner but before I even took it out of the box, I read a review stating that it had poor color results. At the advice of a friend, I tried this one. Except for a little confusion regarding the configeration settings, I'm most pleased with this scanner.

Summary: It does what I need
Review: This is the first new scanner I bought in a long time. So you can see why I would be impressed with anything. I use it also as a fax machine. It is quick and has great resolution for pictures. Now for the down side. I can not use the pass through parallel port because the printer (Canon BJ610) and the scanner keep getting each other's signals. So I tried the scanner on lpr2. The Visioneer people just laughed and said " lp1 or nothing". I told them that I got new One-Touch software CD but no scanner drivers. They said that the old ones would work and that if you misplaced the original CD that was tough. So if it works for you out of the box and you don't expect to upgrade before buying a newer scanner this is great for the price.

Summary: Solid buy for an entry-level scanner.
Review: This is the same scanner as the 7600 USB, except with a pass-thru parallel port connection instead of USB. I bought it to replace a broken HP 5100c that I quite liked until a $200 part inside it just broke one day. The Visioneer installs incredibly easily, and makes really crisp, vibrant scans using the higher dpi settings. 300 and 600dpi scans on the Visioneer are beautiful, but the lower-res scans (100-200dpi) have very visible scan lines in them. The Visioneer takes longer to warm up, and longer to scan an image, than the HP did. But at half the price, it's a good deal for entry-level or SOHO use. This was actually my third choice: I didn't want to get burned by another HP device breaking on me, so I bought a Microtek ScanMaker V6-USL. It installed fine, but crashed the system every time I tried to test or use it. I called their tech support every 5 minutes for 3 hours during normal business hours, and they never once answered the phone or let me leave a message. I took it back and got the Visioneer, which is doing the trick fine so far.
