This morning, I was writing a thank you letter to a relative and I had a printer problem. It took a little work but when I got it going again, the printer produced some garbage before it finally printed the letter I wanted. It was much easier to figure out what was going on and discard the garbage using the optacon. I could have done it with a scanner, but it would have been much harder to determine exactly what happened, because in the garbage, the printer was printing characters over themselves, and sometimes parts of characters. Since I know a little about this sort of thing, it was much easier for me to figure it out using the optacon. Gail **************Hurry! April 15th is almost here.
