Description:

Ideal for home users who don't require too much graphic clarity, the ScanMaker 3630's very low price makes it a noteworthy choice among value scanners. It offers 42-bit color depth, a 600 x 1,200 maximum resolution, a one-year warranty, and a software bundle that includes Textbridge Pro and MGI PhotoSuite III SE.

Higher-end users should note that you can't actually get 42-bit color with the included software; you'll need Photoshop or another comparable program for that. Tech support after 90 days on the one-year warranty may cost more than you'd expect to pay. And even the most basic features (such as a power light and one-button operation) are distinctly lacking.

However, as one of the least expensive scanners on the market, the 3630 is suited for simple, nongraphic-intensive tasks.
