Actually HP 4C is very slow, compared to current EPSON 1660 and 3170. If actinic amp is still in good shape, HP4C may still yield good images. Estimate 2 to 3 times slower than EPSONS mentioned above. Guido D. Corona IBM Accessibility Center, Austin Tx.

Those scanners are legal-sized, which are very hard to find since the more recently-produced ones are designed for photo-scanning and not OCR. These old ones are fast, and they make really good images for OCR. If he or you can get it set up it will be worth the effort. Kellie
