| Printer: HP (Hewlett Packard) 820 Cxi DeskJet
(discontinued) |
Came with Version 8.2 Upgraded to Version
8.5
No complaints so far. |
Upgrade fixes a few Bugs (problems) - not sure what
they were in the first place though.
Align & Self - Test Functions worked well,
once I got the hang of them. |
| Scanner: Microtek ScanMaker
3600 |
Uses USB port & the literature
states it needs Windows 98 to Run.
Through a lot of Research, Trial & Error & a small amount of Luck
I have managed to get it working in Windows 95
(Rev B).
Done by Adding the Standard PCI to USB Host
Controller & Root Hub Drivers, will show up when done
in System Devices. |
Still to bit early to put too many comments about how well it works,
only bought in SEP 00. Initial Results looks promising & the
different bits & bobs will be checked in time. Very quick Preview,
around 10 seconds, although Scanning takes about 1 minute.
Haven't loaded all of the Software Bundle yet, comes with;
- Adobe Photo Deluxe
- Caere OmniPage - Limited Edition, I
did not like this.
- Caere PageKeeper Standard
- Adobe Acrobat 4
- Recognita Standard OCR
- Ulead Photo Impact 5

| Scanner: UMAX Astra 1220P |
Users Printer's Parallel Port - Scanner has a Port for connecting
the Printer (see above).
The Printer needed the Scanner Switched on for it to Work.
Not a Problem these days as the Scanner I have now Runs through
the USB Port (see above). |
Seems to be working fine, some reasonable early results (SEP 99).
It comes with Vista, Version 3.1 which has with some Basic
Pre - set Options.
The Advanced Scanning has a Preview Option, which gives
lots of choices before the Actual Scan takes places although they are not
all that Obvious if you've never used a Scanner before.
Comes with this Software Bundle;
- Presto! PageManager ('Inbox'
problem), ImageFolio & Photo
Album
- Abode Photo Deluxe
- Caere OmniPage - Limited Edition
