Pros quick scanning, affordable price
Cons cheap construction
Recommended it? Yes

First of all, I use this product at work. They give us all nice new cheap scanners when we start and I've had this one for about 8 months.

It's a pretty basic scanner, no gadgets, no buttons, no lights, no whistles. Just plain. Well, whatever, that's ok, thats just extra stuff to break... Read full review »

Defeats the purpose of why I bought it in the first place!

Pros Cheap
Cons Slow (as slow as Parallel Port version)
Recommended it? No

When my friend bought the Umax Astra 1220P (Parallel Port version), I was in awe. For a parallel port model, it was pretty decent. We were no strangers to parallel port devices - they were slow, hogged CPU cycles, and lock up your PC for a while when they chug along at whatever they were doing. Our... Read full review »

Pros Good scans, low price
Cons Fragile design, buggy software (Mac)
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this scanner because it was really cheap, but did I buy a lemon? Not really - I'm mostly satisfied.

I do not work in computer graphics, so my scanning needs are minimal - photos, magazine clippings, album covers, etc. for emails or simple layouts printed on an inkjet printer. I... Read full review »

Pros The price was good, and the Adobe Photo Deluxe software is very easy to use.
Cons Umax does not respond well to emails for help. Their web site is not all that user...
Recommended it? Yes

I received the Astra 1220S scanner as a Christmas present from my husband in 1998. He had asked our son who lives in another state to purchase it for him so it would be a surprise. At that time we were using our old computer, one with no Pentium and 33 Mhz "slug speed". Still, I was able to scan... Read full review »

Pros all
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

The UMAX 1220S is an excellent scanner. I puchased mine about 2 yrs ago. It is a SCSI interface, which makes it very fast. I was not happy with the SCSI adapter card it came with so I purchased an aftermarket Adaptec 2940UW PRO SCSI card. It comes with a 25 pin SCSI interface connector so I had to... Read full review »
