Title: Difficult scanner to use
Review: I found the controls confusing and difficult to operate. My previous scanner was an HP 2200c. The controls on the 2200c were easy to understand and use and required only a minimum number of mouse click to scan and save. The 3570c is a great leap backwards from my previous HP scanner. If you require a transparency scanner, I would suggest getting a 3500 and add the transparency adapter as an option. With the 3570c you have to use a piece of white paper over your scanned item to prevent the transparency holder from bleeding through to your scanned image. Also, I've found that the scanner has a tendency to "auto-crop" certain items even when the "auto-crop" function is disabled. I'm getting tired of having to drag the cropping handles around just to get the entire scanned image on the screen. I've owned this scanner for approximatly 1 hour and 30 minutes, and so far, I'm pretty disappointed. I'm ready to get my old 2200c back from my daughter and put this scanner in the closet.
