Title: I just bought one and am very happy
Review: I just replaced another brand of USB scanner which was giving me fits with a new ScanJet 5200C.The installation went flawlessly, and the bundled software is great.The extra size and weight of this scanner compared to many is because it is built on a sturdy metal chassis instead of the plastic one finds in lower end scanners. I have high hopes of using this scanner for many years thanks to the more robust construction. A scanner isn't really a portable appliance, so I'm happy to be getting heavy steel for my money.The automatic configuration software seems to be pretty smart. For instance, it trims the scan to exactly the size of the scanned object.Color quality and image sharpness are first rate.I am SO happy to have moved up to an office grade scanner instead of wasting hours fighting with a "bargain" model.
Is the review positive or negative?
