Despite the description, Mac isn't supported.
2003-02-01
 |
| The ASTRAs are alright scanners, as is this one. But don't be fooled into thinking it will work with a Mac by the description. UMAX has announced they will never support OSX for these scanners. So You have to run a clunky scanner utility in os9 to get it to work and switch back and forth between OS's This is my third UMAX scanner, and my last one. |

Greaty quality and eacy to use
2003-01-28

| I have used this scanner for over a year and have been very pleased with it. I have not have any problems with it installed of two different operating systems (Win 98 SE and Win 2000). The OCR software that came with the unit is much better than anything HP has placed with their units. The owners manual would be the only thing that is lacking. Must scanners have a very bad owner's manual which gives you no information on how to use a scanner correctly. The ability to adjust the quality, size, and resolution of the image prior to the final scan saves you a lot ot time. I have installed at least 50 Umax scanners and have not had anywhere near as much trouble with them as I have experienced with units from other companies. |

Clumsy but adequate scanner.
2002-04-19

| This is an average scanner. The main attraction of this particular model is that it can scan bigger transparencies, while most scanners that offer this feature at all are limited to 35mm negs or slides. The lid tends to make books slide out of place and would be better if it came off entirely, or opened from the side instead of the top. The software is too idiot-proof -- if you are an experienced scanner user, it is rather stupefying. Fortunately you can override all the presets and do your own thing. If you need a good scanner with transparency capability, this is fine for its price range. |

Don't expect customer service from UMAX
2002-04-04
 |
Spent a couple of months e-mailing, calling and never got customer service. The phone just rings and rings. E-mails nevered answered and that was almost 10 months ago. I fixed it by unplugging unit over night and repluging it in after it just quit working.
Software is user complicated and unfriendly. |

Australian Umax 3450 Experience
2002-03-01
|
| When it works it's good. After a few months the Umax 3450 decided to scan the underside of it's lid and send it to the printer whenever it felt like it, which seemed to be once or twice a day. It also intermittently scanned only mono in a shade of red. After six months it only scanned in a red tone period. This was very inconvenient but I was not worried as it was under warranty. I soon became worried when I had to deal with the Umax service agent for Australia. It took 10 weeks to get a replacement scanner. They have no idea about the concept of a 'customer'. They don't exhibit any empathy, sympathy or even personality. They promise to get back to you and they never do. They just don't seem to care. So I swore I would never get another Umax product and never have to deal with the service agent again. Unfortunately the replacement lasted two weeks before packing it in. It is now in the hands of the service agent, who is so far taking a week to decide if they will treat it as a warranty claim, since the warranty on the original unit has run out. If they had replaced my original in a week or two I would still have warranty. They used it up for me. So, if you live in Oz my suggestion is don't touch Umax, because if it goes wrong you will have to have therapy after dealing with their "service" agent. ... |
