Visioneer OneTouch 9420

Pros: Very good scanner at a cheap price.

Cons: The scanner takes more time to warm up than my last scanner.(cold cathode light)

Review: I purchased the 9420 from Sam's for about $80. I have scanned in hundreds of 35mm slides and pictures from 300 to 4800 dpi. The unit is fast and easy to operate. I use Adobe Photo Shop 7 and really have found no limitations. If you have a page of up ...

Pros: Excellent quality. easy set up. overall... I'm very happy!!

Cons: you have to read the manual to understand the features.not a major problem.

Review: I found this scanner at Sam's club. It's definitely a great scanner. I haven't figured out how to scan 35mm negatives yet, but I'm positive it'll be worthwhile. Scanning full size pics & 3x5 pics is easy enough & the quality was excellent! ...

Pros: price, scan quality, availability of tech support

Cons: quirky, too many limitations on slide scanning

The Bottom Line: To scan photos and basic documents, simple editing, etc., fine.  If you want consistent smooth operation and are willing to pay more, look elsewhere.

Review: This is the 3rd Visioneer scanner I've owned. They are ALL quirky. But let's get the good out first.The scanner is easy to use, and I like the slide and negative scanning features. The digital quality is adjustable, so you can do something ...

Pros: I like how it opens on the long edge instead of the short edge

Cons: "the scanner optical module is locked" - see description

Review: After about 6 months of use I started getting the message "the scanner optical module is locked" along with a horrible grinding noise. I flipped the lock back and forth first, still got the same message. Well, Long story short after about 6 hours split ...

Pros: great when it works

Cons: power supply failure appears widespread

Review: When I called tech support they told me power supply failure was a very typical problem with the unit. Customer service said they were out of power supplies for about a week and a half. What does that mean to me? When will I get mine? It's obvious ...

Pros: It was cheap

Cons: Customer Service is worthless. I spoke to Teri who attitude was Visioneer doesn't care

Review: Everything comes out too light. Even with 600 DPI and darkness in Paperport software set to max, Medium light documents do not scan at all. I had to take my documents, copy them on a copier before I could scan them in to PDF. I called Tech Support ...

Pros: Hardware specs & price is very good.

Cons: Paperport software won't scan with resolution higher than 2400.

Review: I purchased a Visioneer 9420 based on the very nice features displayed on the box. I was disappointed with the Paperport software which was included. This is a quote from the readme file. "Why am I unable to scan with a resolution higher than 2400 in ...
