I have been very impressed by the Lexmark X7350 I received for my office.
It does print, copy, fax, scan. It is ergonomically very well designed and can
be largely serviced by myself, including accessing the paper transport to fix
any paper jams (which by the way have never occurred). The scanner is fast
and is surprisingly compatible with Kurzweil. OCR quality seems to be
comparable with what I obtain from my EPSON 660. I performed installation of
the X7350 software with JAWS. More interestingly, the FAX utility that ships
with the scanner is delightful to use with JAWS. By the way, this is a color
inkjet device. Price is well under $200.
I am so happy with this machine that I am seriously thinking of acquiring its
monochrome laser sibling -- the Lexmark X342 for home.
By the way, no matter how good the scanner is in these multi-function
devices, it is worth pointing out that the scanning surface is rather high
above the desk surface, making the scan of entire books somewhat inconvenient.

Siobhan, I'm responding to you on list in case others might be considering
buying these devices. Please don't buy one of these with the idea that you can
scan books with it. They can sometimes work for scanning mail, but the scanner
part of these devices is meant more for photocopy and faxing. It's not usually
a quality scanner, and it's slower than molasses in January. In addition,
Kurzweil does not work with some of these devices. I know it wouldn't work with
the Xerox or the HP models in my dad's office. I spent hours trying to make
them work. Unless there are some very new models that have better scanners, and
unless you can try one before buying it, I would urge you to buy a separate
scanner and printer. At the very least, please ask the people who work at
Kurzweil if there is a model they would recommend.

Hi al. I'm considering buying an all in one printer, scanner, and copier.
If anyone has one, please email off list so I can pick your brain. Thanks,
