43376 2002-04-11 22:43:00 I've had 2 scanners now and both have taken 30 or so secs to calibrate/warm-up-the-lamp... I may be impatient but arn't these terms from the 40's?.

Another thing I'm interested in is auto skew correction (if it goes in not quite straight) and auto selection (if it's smaller than A4)or any other feature to make life easy!

Can anyone recomend a good new XP compatable one for around $300ish

43377 2002-04-12 11:23:00 Check Out the cannon range I have a 670 and of all the scanners I have seen this has the best software. Its has USB (no Power pack)Comes with the pro version of Omnipage not the light version that often comes with scanners Guest (0)
43378 2002-04-13 00:29:00 I've got a HP Scanjet 3400c, which is running on Win XP (using the XP software rather than the HP software - it works better). Warms up a lot quicker than 30 seconds, has the autoselection thing (that's part of the software)... dunno if that autoskew thing is in it though.

Its a very good scanner IMHO.

Mike.
