Fantastic Photo Scanner
I am kicking myself for not getting the ImageFormula R40 a long time ago. I have been scanning my old photographs and finally thought to get a self-feeding photo scanner. Ordered it on a Friday afternoon and it got here Sunday afternoon. Put it to work right away. On Tuesday a line started showing up on the scans. I called tech support. We did a couple of tests to verify that it was a hardware issue. He said "I will ship a replacement today". It got here the next day. Wow! talk about tech support/customer support. The R40 works great. The software is very easy to use. You can select single or double side scanning. I have scanned a lot of two sided documents. The document drops into the bin and both sides of the document show up on the screen. The R40 notices a double feed of documents and stops scanning. It is real easy to open the scanner for a second and reset the process. It is easy to keep the scanning bars clean as well. Lots of my pictures were taken with Canon AE-1 and F-1 cameras and I have always liked the brand. Highly recommend the R40 and Canon customer support.
