Summary: A fine product, by a fine company.
Review: After being quite content with my now-outdated Microtek E3 SCSI scanner, I decided to go Microtek again with the new slimscan USB. Although I would say that scans are slower than the older SCSI model, the overall quality is much better, and the interface is improved. As mentioned in other reviews, the OCR provided with the package is somewhat weak, but functional. I would recommend purchasing OmniPage Pro by Caere for higher-quality OCR recognition, although this may run you around a hundred dollars, last time I checked. The model is quite thin, although I too have had troubles making the button in the front, which is supposed to launch applications in Windows, functional. All in all a solid purchase at a solid value. -Pete

Summary: Not as easy to hook up as they say.
Review: After doing three uninstalls and reinstalls my scanner is still not working. The error message is that the computer cannot find the hook up. The support guy at microtek tried but couldn't figure out my problem. I threw the box away so I'm probably stuck with it. My other problem with this scanner is that the support number is not an 800 number. By the time you're done talking to someone in support you could easily spend an hour on a long distance call. Why should I have to pay for that?

Summary: Handy & Light. Good Images. Software Not Straightforward
Review: First of all, this scanner comes in USB or PCI formats. I've used the USB version. It's scan quality is very good. I don't care much for the ScanMaker software (it locks up). Also, there seem to be some competing formats to store JPEG images. No real user manual is provided. The "electronic" manual on the CD-ROM doesn't provide any information. Rather, it refers you to a website. I don't think people should have to get online in order to read their owner's manual. Anyway, I paid relatively little for it ($80) so I shouldn't complain. I do like this scanner.

Summary: Works very well with my iMac computer.
Review: I am impressed at the ease with which this scanner works. I have an Apple iMac, and all I did was install the software, plug into my USB port, and I was ready to go. A CON though: there is no printed manual. I still like to have a printed manual.

Summary: Mine works great and the installations was a breeze!
Review: I bought the SlimScan C6 in a store, not online, and I was very satisfied! I have the parallel port version. It was very easy to set up. Just plug you printer into your scanner then your scanner into your computer. That's it. The software was easy to. Just follow the on screen directions. Plus the software they gave was great! Overall I thought this product deserves all the stars it can get!

Summary: Not up to Microtek standards
Review: I bought this scanner because of its low profile and "scan" button, and because my Microtek E3 was a great product. Unfortunately, hookup was a problem. Microtek seems to have written their code to require the very latest USB drivers from Intel, so unless you find the right support note on the Microtek web site (and the link to Intel's page) you will be very frustrated hooking this USB device up to your system. Even after a four-hour installation process, I still cannot get the button on the front of the scanner to function properly. The ScanWizard TWAIN driver is excellent, but don't bother installing the rest of the software. The OCR package is particularly poor. The only redeeming thing about this product is its price and it's low profile

Summary: Go ahead and get it already!
Review: I comparison shopped in stores and on the net quite a bit,checking out several product reviews. Basically, I wanted to add aflatbed scanner to my setup (which includes an all in one printer with sheet feed scanner) to save photos and to scan from books, etc. that can't go through a sheetfeed. I didn't want to spend alot of money, I needed somthing small to fit in my computer cabinet, and I didn't want a slow piece of junk. I bought a Microtek SlimScan C6 (USB) via Amazon.com. I had no problems with installation and was using my scanner in about 20 minutes. Software includes Adobe and Photo Impact for editing photos and Photo Impact Album for keeping track of them. I have 18 years computer experience but don't work in the computer field. Enjoyed the Amazon experience (my first) too.
