Cindy,
I believe the Epsen scanner you're trying to remember is the 3170.
Can't help you with yours. I don't know a thing about it. Sorry.
Gerald

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Scanners
Dear Lissi,
I certainly echo the part about not buying the
cheapest Epson. So that I could have a second scanner,
my husband kindly bought an Epson 3490, for just under
$100--maybe less, but I can't get it to save multiple
pages as one document--and even figuring out out to do
a scan that will convert to text has been a problem.
We've both spent the last few days trying to get it to
work as well as my 1660, and I haven't gotten any
validating done.
I don't think the 3490 was the one you all recommended
was it? I wrote down what that was in case I needed to
replace my 1660 at some point but I can't find it
(what else is new). My memory (always a little
faulty--and note I said a little) is that your
recommendation was for a 3140 or some such, but I
don't think that's available any more.
Can anyone tell me if the 3490 will not only scan more
than one page but will save multipages as a single
document as the 1660 will?

Dear Jill,
Oh, I appreciate every bit of computer info anyone
takes the time to share.
I probably identified what I bought incorrectly. I
paid five hundred and
forty nine... for the Kurzweil software, I'm not
sure what it's called,
scanning software, maybe, trading in my unused Open
Book. I didn't know
Kurzweil sold their own brand of scanner, too. The
nice tech guy said he'd
try and help me make the expensive HP all in one I
shouldn't have bought a
year ago work but he warned me it might be slow or
inaccurate because it
doesn't have a brightness control. He suggested I
buy an Epsen, and not the
cheapest, and if that sounds like a good idea to
most of you, that's what
I'll do.
Thanks,
Always With Love,
Lissi
