Visioneer One Touch 5600 Smoke USB/Parallel Scanner

My printer scanner cracked from large pkg set on it. This scanner is quite good it is an older scanner butt hedownload is not available on the Visioneer website. It is important to note that your antivirus will want to deletethe download files on the Visioneer disk and needs to be temporarily shut off. There are many applications and itis much better than the usual printer/scanner.

Reading the Amazon's editorial review on this scanner I thought it would be a breeze to work with. But anything involving computers I should of figured would be a difficult endeavor. Visioneer 5600 is good and will take a few hours too get the bugs out. The directions are some what confusing since I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the right resolutions . The USB connection on my Pentium III processor is located in the front and the adapter cord is too short to reach from the back, as well as the plug-in cord ( so I'll have to invest in longer cords). The software is great and has been helpful. The size is perfect for my roll top and the smoky blue blends in well. I think in time my Visioneer 5600 will be a great buy.

I bought this scanner used for ... some odd dallors through a market place seller here at amazon, I had never heard of the visioneer company before and asked family, freinds, and local computer store experts about it, no one had heard of the company before and urged me not to take the chance and get a reliable brand. well, I had my heart set on this one but i looked up scanners from epson and hp and cannon and found comments from previous buyers saying how "____ went wrong as soon as i got it", and "it's a peice of junk" etc. so I decided to take my chances with this scanner, It arrived a few days later and I was surprised how easy it was to install, there are only two cords, one is permanently attatched to the scanner and hooks into the usb port on your computer, and the other was a plug in cord that hooks into your wall socket, and the other end goes into the only hole in the back of the scanner, then you just put in the software (though you really should do that first) push install, restart your computer and *poof* you have a scanner! I didn't know what to expect in quality so i was presently surprised when my scans turned out better than my mom's scans on her [more expensive] scanner! it basically kicked her scanner's butt! I am so pleased with this scanner, and the software that comes with it and I urge EVERYONE who has the chance to do so to buy this scanner!update: os of 5/12/2020 I have now had this scanner for 19 years and it still works. I have no complaints.
