HP Hewlett Packard Officejet 6310 All-in-One Fax/Copier/Printer/Scanner

This really is a brilliant printer and copier (I haven't used the fax so can't comment on that). The print is crisp and clear, it's quiet and quick.

I like the fact that it has USB ports for cameras etc., and also memory card slots so you can print directly from these.

It has an easily accessable feed tray positioned at the top of the machine (on the lid of the scanner)

The control panel is intelligently positioned on the front of the machine and is easy to use (even without reading the instruction manual first!)

BUT.....

It comes without a connection cable! So after I'd carefully sorted it all out, loaded the software into my PC etc. etc. etc. and excitedly went to connect it ... Read More:

Kodak ESP-3 All-In-One Printer / Copier / Scanner

I bought a ESP-3 a few months ago and I'm pleased with it so far. It's not the best all-in-one printer, but I had so much hassle with an Epson DX (with it's stupid chipped ink cartridges not recognising on the printer) I bought this as it s cheap to buy, cheap to run and there was no real negative reviews to it.

Everything about the ESP-3 is average and with the low price and low ink price, so I give it 4 stars rather then 3.

Canon Lide 25 Colour Flatbed Scanner

I bought an earlier version of this scanner in (I think) 2000. The current version is the same size, makes the same amount of noise, has the same speed and costs the same. No progress in eight years...

Nonetheless, the software has been improved a lot and this results in higher quality pictures at smaller file sizes. Good stuff.

Overall this is a solid scanner, it was worked flawlessly over the last few months and its predecessor is still working (on XP).

My score: 4 out of 5

Plustek OpticFilm 7300 35mm film scanner

Using with a Mac PC running OSX 10.5.2 I found this to be excellent and far in front of others at the price. I have now scanned some 1,000 slides using the simple preview method at 600 DPI and am fully satisfied.
A special few of my slides had been transferred from the old 2 1/4" square transparencies taken in 1948 and were in very bad condition. The Plustek and software dealt with all the rough stuff and a tweak with Photoshop and they were amazing.
I damaged the install disc and received a new one from Germany in 3 days free of charge. So excellent after sales too.

Pixmania are a French company who sent this out with a 2-pin plug, and a UK adapter that did not fit the plug (as the 2-pin transformer is quite large). Have asked Pixmania to send an adapter that fits, but no luck yet. So I have the scanner, but can't turn it on...! A bad experience all round.

I now have about 7 months experience with this all-in-one professional printer, scanner, and copier. I has a high quality of printing, relatively simple to use, scans documents into PDF format, and is robut. Amazon delivered it to me free of charge. Original and genuine ink cartridges are expensive but last long. It can work wireless with an additional equipment. I highly recommend it to thos professionals with a small office to run. ARABETH

Acan USB Barcode Scanner Reader

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Scanners
from: Acan


I bought this scanner to work with Movie Collector (the program from Collectorz.com). I wanted the functionality of a barcode scanner to make it quicker to catalogue my DVD collection, but I didn't want to pay £120 for the scanner they advertise on their site.
I ordered the Acan USB scanner having read the user reviews and it just worked out of the box. It doesn't come with any software and I haven't looked at the manual - I just plugged it in, Windows installed it and it has worked with the software (Movie Collector) ever since. It has worked reliably since reading all barcodes I have tried it on and it looks well made. Excellent value.
