I can't find enough stuff to scan!

bykmhinman Aug 14, 2000
31 Helpfuls 32 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros inexpensive and easy to use
Cons slow, slow, slow
Recommended it? Yes

About six months ago my parents bought me my scanner as an extra happy for doing well in college. I really did not use it all that much until recently when I took one of my Graphic Design classes. Now that I have had the opportunity to tinker with it I have to say I wish I had started earlier. Not... Read full review »

Acerscan 320U: Great scanner BUT....

byvicwang Mar 24, 2000
27 Helpfuls 28 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 4 Comments
Pros Great price, quality, speed. INDISPENSABLE for online auctioners
Cons ROACHES!!!
Recommended it? Yes

This scanner was an incredible steal for the $30-after-rebate that I got it for. I scoff at the opinions I have read in PC magazines that characterize the Acerscan 320U as nothing more than a "bargain bin scanner" or "a good buy for the kids", etc.

It can scan at DPI's far higher than I... Read full review »

Idiot Proof Scanner for $30

15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Cheap and easy to use
Cons Scanner software slow, needed Irfanview
Recommended it? Yes

When I went to buy a scanner, I wanted something that would scan my items for eBay, for a reasonable price, and that was easy to use.

My son said that I should get a scanner with USB, and while he was visiting this spring, we found the Acer 320U scanner on sale for $29.99 after rebate. The... Read full review »

At $30, an unbeliveable deal

Pros Price, performance
Cons Clunky software, unit is bulky
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Acer 320U scanner about 4 months ago from Office Max.com. With the rebate, I paid about $30 for this scanner. For that price, it is really hard to go wrong, but the Acer 320U has proven to be better than expected and is certainly no "bargain bin" product.

I use this product... Read full review »

Once you figure out the software....

11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros cheap, easy
Cons software is complex
Recommended it? Yes

Once you figure out the software, this is a simple, foolproof scanner for the home user. It is not particularly fast, but unless you are scanning on a regular basis, who cares.
For me, scanning pictures now and then, it works just fine. (My picture on my epinions home page was scanned with the... Read full review »

All most people will need in a scanner

byFoolingAround Apr 26, 2001
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Fairly fast, acceptable resolution, does an adequate job
Cons Not a high end pro model.
Recommended it? Yes

The resolution of a web page is only 72 DPI. Therefore, why buy a scanner with a resolution of 1200 DPI if you are mostly scanning things for a web page?
That question is really one of the deciding factors on whether you will like this scanner. I use three basic criteria when evaluating... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use, functional
Cons software not working quite right.
Recommended it? Yes

The Acer 320U series scanner is a very easy piece of equipment to install and use. This is a great buy for anyone who is limited experience with scanners.
The basic functionality comes quickly to anyone willing to spend a few minutes trying their first scan. The scans are quick and you are... Read full review »

Reliable, Inexpensive Scanner

bydptarget Oct 19, 2000
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Fast and convenient
Cons Wall Transformer instead of built in power supply
Recommended it? Yes

I took a chance on one of those 8-10 week rebates that plague the computer industry. I am very glad I did. I already had a parallel port scanner from Mustek. It worked fine but it was slow and froze the computer until the scan was done. That $120.00 scanner has been replace with a $30.00 (after... Read full review »

Outperforms our Scanjet handily!

byTheLastBaron Oct 19, 2000
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Speedy, great interface, excellent value
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

Purchased largely because of Acer's $40 rebate on the then-$89 scanner, I was amazed at the quality of the scanner AND its terrific interface program, Mirascan.

Shortly after I purchased this little gem for home use, my cheapskate boss bought us a Scanjet by H-P with a document feeder and... Read full review »

Pros Cheap
Cons Unreliable Link to OCR Software
Recommended it? No

I bought this cheap scanner to do Optical Character Recognition (O.C.R.).

It came with a scanner driver called "MiraScan 3.20" and an OCR software package called "Textbridge Classic 2.0." The installed setup worked
well doing OCR for exactly 3 months. Then, I started getting an error... Read full review »
