I have a 3170 which I think does an excellent job. At less than a hundred dollars, why not try it? ----- Original Message ----- From: Estelnalissi To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2005 9:39 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Epson Scanners, does anyone know them? Dear everyone, especially those of you who use scanners with K 1000. As you know, I've taken the plunge and ordered K1000 I might get lucky and find it will work with my HP 4 in one scanner etc, but have been advised that if it won't work, buying an Epson might be best. I went to the Kurzweil site and wrote a list of all of the Epsons they said were compatible. Then I went to the Epson site, and checked both the regularly priced scanners and the models on sale. Here is a list of the matches I found. It made me nervous that so many called themselves photo scanners as I wondered if they were meant to do well with pictures rather than text.. Does anyone have a comment as to whether any of these sound like a good investment Thanks in advance, naturally addled and I can call the tech guy if it turns out I need to buy the stand alone. 4180 reduced from 199 to 150 dollars 3200, does color, too, reduced from 399 to 299 dollars 2580 reg cost 129 4490 for 250 dollars 1670 50 reduced from 99 to 50 dollars 3170 reduced from 174 to 79 dollars I sure hope my HP works. This scanner search is boring and confusing. I guess I could also check other stores or E bay. The Epson site didn't have all of the models Kurzweil listed. Some of these other places could have jmodels Epson didn't offer. Really sleepy tonight. That's all folks. Always With Love, Lissi
