Have you ever tried to run an old SCSI flatbed scanner from 1991 on a Windows 98se system? I have. My old Microtek Scanmaker was such an unbelievable pain in the posterior, I finally put my foot down, and dropped it off at my local thrift store. Then I...

Cons: Outdated Software for Editing pictures.

The Visioneer 7600 USB is a unremarkable scanner and even seems kinda plain! ;)

It looks like any ordinary desktop scanner has room for nearly 11x17 paper and has exceptional scan quality. The only remarkable thing about the scanner is it's...

Cons: A bit tricky to set up in Win2K, very slow "warm up" period

My Story
After a bit of data collection on my part, I had enough justification to go to the boss and say "I need a scanner". I was given the okay with the stipulation that it not cost over $100. While that certainly limited my choices, it...

Pros: manufacturers replaced the scanner.
Cons: horrible installation process.

Pros: Ease of installation and use
Cons: Help files only

Pros: Flexibility, Decent Quality Scans, Low Price
Cons: Long Warm Up

An “All-In-One” machine (fax, copier, scanner, printer) has always been a great temptation. However, I have been deterred from purchasing one due to the lack of flexibility in certain features. So, I recently purchased A Visioneer One Touch 7600 USB...

Cons: None I noticed...

For its price it is...

Pros: inexpensive
Cons: no manual

I was in the market for a scanner recently & decided on the visioneer onetouch 7600USB. After pricing and comparing various models in the $75-$150 range,the 7600 seemed to be the best of the bunch. The best features to me were the resolutuion...

Cons: Poor customer service. Limited Driver Support

Then, I got a new computer and realized that I had misplaced the CD that came with the...

Pros: Scan, fax, copy, easy one touch operation
Cons: none found

I got the visioneer one touch for a christmas present,however it was not my first scanner that I had. My first one only scanned 5x7 photos so I was rather pleased to know I could scan anything now from papers,to portraits. I had no trouble operating it,...

Pros: It scans
Cons: Poor software design, really rotten customer service

Pros: $19 and OCR too! Give-away price and works great with Win XP
Cons: reputed short life

In the mad dash to get you in the store, Staples amongst the other large chains offers ridiculously low prices on so-called loss leaders. Pay full price but get most of your money back in rebates. They are slow but you can monitor rebate progress as...

Cons: Lamp sometimes won't shut off, ?limit on "free" OCR software?

I bought the Onetouch 7600(USB version) because the scanner I used to own was made by Visioneer, and it worked great. The images scanned by the Onetouch 7600 look good, and color reproduction is pretty accurate. I don't know what is considered a good...

I recently upgraded from Windows 98 SE to Windows 2000 Professional. My Umax scanner was one of several things that weren't compatible with Win2K so I ordered the 7600 USB after seeing they had Win2K drivers available for download on the Visioneer...

Pros: fast, powerful software, one touch buttons
Cons: can take a while when scanning masses of documents

Cons: No on/off switch

Visioneer OneTouch: 7600 USB Scanner

Cons: Wish the software was a bit easier to use.

The 7600 scanner is a great one! I have had it for about 1 year now and never had a problem. It scans great images, I can even scan better images but they take up to much space of memory. Visioneer is also a good company to buy from.

Once, my...

Pros: Good For Fax
Cons: Didnt even last a year

After owning this Visioneer for not even a year, it no longer works. It is just sitting here next to the tower collecting as much dust as possible from the room. I do not know what has happened to it, I think I only used it maybe four or five times if...

Pros: easy hook up, simple to use
Cons: none I can see yet

I ordered my Visioneer One Touch from Gateway because my old scanner wasn't compatible with my new computer. I actually ordered a less expensive one, but they sent me this one. I have to say that though I am less than pleased with all the mix ups I have...

Pros: Easy set up, easy use
Cons: MGI Photo Suite is a little hard to use

I received this product as a replacement 1999 Christmas present. I was a little leery of this product at first because the first scanner of a different brand caused major damage to my computer. But, after I got over my scared spell, I began.
...

My husband bought me this scanner last Christmas, and we both agree it's been a great investment. I layout/edit a corporate newsletter every month and I use this scanner to scan pictures, graphs, etc. for use in that newsletter.

The Visioneer...

Pros: everything

...

Pros: nice scan quality, simple to use
Cons: none

Pros: Easy setup, Easy to use.
Cons: USB version only works with Windows 98

Don't waste time shopping around for scanners. This one is loaded with features and the price is great! We have one at work, and it worked so well and was so easy to use that I bought one for home.

It installs in minutes. The buttons...

Pros: price, features, quality
Cons: documentation

I bought the Visioneer 7600 based on a review in one of the leading trade journals. I bought the parallel port version to connect to an NT 4.0 laptop (no usb or scsi). Getting the cable connected to my IBM Thinkpad was a bit hard - the plug was almost...

Pros: It speaks for itself
Cons: If you dont change the format it copies it as .max

Pros: Works VERY well, Easy Software
Cons: Not compatible with Windows XP

It comes with Photosuite software for photo editing which makes it super easy to edit photos once...

Pros: Speed- Quality-

Pros: scans good
Cons: none that i can think of!

I have a lot of pen pals, and they all was sending me pictures of theirselves, and I had to write back with, sorry don't have a scanner, so finally I decided to get one, I called Gateway where I got my pc from and they helped me decide on what I...

I got this scanner along with the purchase of a Gateway PC. It is so easy to use. After installing it, all you have to do is press the scan button on the machine. Pretty much anyone can use this. There is also a button that you can press, when, let's...

Pros: Cheap, easy to use, decent quality
Cons: A little larger than the competition

I bought this scanner after fighting with a HP for over 4 hours.

I was up and running in 10 minutes and have never looked back with this one for over 6 months now.

It...

Pros: stylish, good quality, versatile, and easy to use
Cons: NONE

I recently had the Visioneer 7600 scanner given to me as a gift from my wife for Christmas. It was a pleasant surprise. The Visioneer scan is nice, it is very versatile. I can scan, fax, print, copy, and do custom work with it. It has a lot of nice...

Pros: A lot of good Ideas, and one touch features...
Cons: Poor Installation software and a total lack of online support..

Pros: easy to use and the quality is great
Cons: software is poor for advanced users and the light can remain lit for hours

I received this scanner as a graduation gift and I have to say that it was one of my best presents. If you have Windows 98 and a free USB port, this scanner couldn't be any easier to use. Just install the drivers and plug it in. Its also great for all...

Pros: easy set-up
Cons: slow scan and slow warm-up

After trying the UMAX USB scanner and having problems, I returned the UMAX and purchased the Visioneer 7600. This scanner was easier to set up, the software is easier to use, and the quality of the scans is superior.
The down-side to the 7600...

Pros: great quality for the price
Cons: it's basically a one-computer use.

My two sisters and I have all 3 purchased the Visioneer and all 3 had the same problems. Initial installation is fine but if you ever decide to reformat or unplug it, it never works again. I haven't moved or rearrainged anything on my desk in the vacinity of the scanner for 3 years because of my intense work trying to fix theirs. Finally I had to reformat. I forgot to follow the EXACT procedure of 1.unplug scanner from computer 2. unplug scanner from power supply 3.uninstall/reinstall software, 4.plug scanner to computer 5. plug to power supply. I forgot step 2, unplugging from power supply, and boom, no matter how much you repeat the steps, it never again detects the scanner. So, for the inexpensive price, it's worth it, but just hope you never have to unplug it and start over.

Pros: It worked fine on my old OS.
Cons: When I upgraded to Windows XP they wouldn't give me a driver!

I was greatly disappointed to discover that Visioneer does not provide the drivers for Windows XP and this scanner. I have only owned this scanner for 2 years and they decide that it is too old to provide drivers for an XP upgrade. Thanks alot, Visioneer. It'll be a cold day in hell before I buy from you again.
