Patricia, thanks for the tutorial. I bookmarked it in case I need help when the scanner arrives. I have PSP also, so I expect things to go smoothly. I'm really looking forward to preserving and sharing my family's old photos, many 50 years and older!

To add to what P.C. Rucker said: I suggest you put the card in a P.C. to see if it is in fact full so you can move the pix off. There might be some pix hiding in a weird folder the scan can't see for some reason. Also in a host P.C. you can erase the card if needed and then the scanner should be able to reformat it.

Well, as of June 2008, there is a post in the CanoScan 8600 vs. 8800 discussion by CM-Monkey (I believe is his moniker) where he reports buying the V500 and the 8800 and his side by side comparison ends with Epson V500 the winner! So, where do we go now with this discussion? I'd rather not have to buy both scanners to do a side by side comparison myself.

Most of what I have (90-95%) are Black & White negatives, and I see from a review at http://www.imaging-resource.com/SCAN/CS9000/9000F.HTMthat FARE is disabled for B&W; film (it thinks the whole emulsion is dust).Have you scanned many B&W; negatives?Also, have you scanned any contact prints/proof sheets (I imagine it does those just fine, but I just remembered those?If this does good with B&W; negatives - then that's' what I'm looking for - as I need a general purpose scanner too.

My Lide 200 works OK with Windows 7, 64bit, but my use is limited to basic docs and pics, not photoshop.

I haven't used it for awhile, so my memory is a little hazy. I plugged it in to a port on the front of my computer. I was scanning slides. I chose "USB Connect" from the start menu. The Omni saved the images (I think it has the capacity to save some images without a card) and it was transferred directly to my computer with a message that said "open folder to view files." I clicked on that to open the file and there was another file in it that said "DCIM" which I opened and there was my image. I copied it to a file in "my Pictures." Using a Memory Card in the Omni Scan is good because it allows more images to be saved and then transferred to the computer. I then printed out the images I wanted. Hope this helps.

Hi, Richard! Thank you for your query about the Medi-2200, which we are happy to offer to Amazon customers. To answer your particular questions: 1. You don't wait for lamp warm-up, so save time there. It starts scanning immediately. It'll do that scan in under 30 seconds. 2. You can choose from several formats: TIF, BMP, JPG, PSD, PDF, GIF. We do have this on sale, now. Sale ends today. If, by some chance you miss that window please contact me and I'll put it back on sale long enough for yuo to get the sale price. You can find full details and even a demo video on our Website, if you need more information (also fine to ask me via Amazon)--click on the scanners link in that first bullet point row on the home page. Best Regards, Mark Lamendola Mindconnection, LLC

In Settings do you have the scanner set to duplex? If so it will scan the blank side of any single sided document. if you normally scan in duplex, Settings has an option to remove blank pages

The suggestion to scan for HD errors is good. I need to do it as well. This moment in Philladelphia airport just returning from a trip lugging both my workhorse Dell Latitude laptop and my relatively new Acer v5-131. The Acer loads and runs anything I put on it and logged onto all of the several wireless systems I encountered. I ran both on dual screens - presentation on one and software being demonstrated on the other - with zero problems. I am very very impressed with this very very cheap laptop. I now take it nearly everywhere with me in case I have down time that can be used writing or simply catching up with my news websites. Have had zero issues with the Acer.

I am trying to confirm the Epson V500 or Epson V600 software/hardware capability to scan multiple photographs and save as separate files. Can you help?Glen

Yea I'm wondering the same. I' d really like to get this and I need a scanner now. Maybe someone can check with fujitsu and let us all know about an update?? Then again it appears so good why change it??

I had the same problem. They said go into REG EDIT and delete anything in the registry to do with Neat. That worked as far as installing the program so I could open it on my screen. But the scanner itself hasn't worked yet. It's telling me no drivers loaded. That's where I am right now. I've been messing with this for almost a week now! I really wanted this...was all excited to ditch tons of paper. Now I'm pretty much ready to give up and return it.

This comes with everything I needed, including the scanning software, and with Adobe PDF OCR (character recognition). So I store all my scans as a PDF and organize them in my own directory structure (for example, 2013 receipts). I found this to be the best solution. I also own a Neat Receipts scanner, but their scanner only works with their software and their scanning software doesn't reduce the scanned file size very well, and is much slower than this scanner. So with Neat Receipts you can't incorporate multiple scanning devices, and utilize Dropbox if you scan some items with your cell phone, etc. I hope this helps with your decision.

I have the Canoscan 8400F. I can tell you how I do it on that scanner. Basically, I trick the scanner into thinking that it's scanning 120 film. I typically put the the 120 adapter into place, and then lay 3 strips of 110 film in the adapter. If the film doesn't want to lie flat, since it can't be held down by the adapter, I place a couple of high quality microscope slides on the film to hold it flat, making sure that the edges of the slides fall at a break between negatives. I set the scanner at its highest resolution, which on the 8400F is 3200 ppi. Then using the selection tool, I select about three negatives at a time to scan. I separate them later using Photoshop Elements by cutting and pasting. I scan them as if they were transparencies rather than negatives. The large amount of white space surrounding the negatives causes the scanner to misinterpret the colors if they are scanned as negatives. The scanner always says that an image consisting of three 110 negatives is about 50 megs, but it never actually is that large when you examine the file after it is saved. Once I have the scanned image, I then open the image in Photoshop Elements, cut and paste the individual negatives as separate files, and then process. First I run autocontrast, then auto color correct, then auto levels, and finally invert the image to a positive. Then I do any touchup and final color and noise adjustment. I've probably processed about a thousand 110 negatives this way and usually get pretty good results. I assume you could do something similar with the 8800F. The biggest problem I get is the presence of Newton rings, but I can usually correct that by rescanning, or post processing if they aren't too serious.

thanks for the input .....I had gone ahead and ordered the Scan-Snap but had decided to return it before it even arrived. Your response just made me know that I made the right decision. My plan now is to sort through all those photos and send the best of the lot to a company such as Best Photo Scanning and let them preserve them on discs for me.
