Canon ImageClass Scanner

Setting up the Canon ImageClass is fairly easy but here are are few suggestions:

1. If setting up on a network use Printer's menu and set the correct IP settings before you install the drivers.
2. You will need the Toolbox as well as the drivers if you wish to scan.
3. If scanning over the network, push the scanner button on the printer and select "remote"

ScanSnap S510

The S510 is a great little scanner. This is best purchased refurbished for under $300. It is not Twain compliant but is fast and small. Perfect for making pdf files to store or email.

With a 64 bit system you will need the 64 bit drivers from tech support. They will e-mail you a link for download. Vista worked without problem for me. I have used it on XP, Vista and Win7 32 and 64. Drivers can be a challenge but you can get it working.

Win7 64 you need to run the following program after driver install.
C:\Program Files (x86)\PFU\ScanSnap\Driver\SsDrvRepair folder\SsDrvRepair-x64.exe

I have 3 refurbs and one does not take multiple sheets. I was pushing the sheets in too far. Just drop them in and scan away.

Maybe the S300 would be a good choice if space or portability is an issue.

Rant: Updating software is a pain from this ass hat (whatever that is) company. You must fill out a form including serial number and part number. Then they email you an expiring link to the download. Who is running customer service in this lame brain operation. Really, who is going to "steal" a proprietary driver for a ScanSnap S510. Must be an old Apple employee.
