What is the difference between CCD and CIS?
If you want a scanner that captures larger tonal and color ranges for sharp details, CCD is the clear winner. It has more depth of field with more even and brighter illumination, whereas CIS falls off rapidly. However, CIS is relatively inexpensive.
Why do I need to calibrate my scanner?
Scanners need to be calibrated when first activated. This process keeps the scanned images sharp and colors accurate. It’s recommended you recalibrate it to avoid vertical lines and achieve the best results after using the scanner for a long time.
How can I install A320E driver without a CD-ROM?
Please download the latest driver package for Windows/MacOS from Plustek official website and run the installer following the steps on your screen. For any hardware and software questions, feel free to get in touch with us.
What is the function of scanner buttons on A320E?
A320E has 7 buttons (Custom 1, Custom 2, Email, OCR, File, Copy, Scan) to help you scan and send image data to a target application with a single press of the button. Configure the buttons based on your needs with DocAction software.
How to scan multiple pages into a single PDF file?
Go to file utility, check "Continuous Scan" and then press "Apply" in the settings of button configuration. If you'd like to learn more, please watch Plustek DocAction tutorials on Youtube and follow the instructions.

I have not required tech support for anything.
I'm not about to write it all again, but one thing I want to make sure gets communicated is that this scanner DOES in fact work well with a MAC, but the directions are not super clear that you MUST download the latest and greatest DRIVERS (something a bit rare in today's world). I could not get it to work with Apple's IMAGE CAPTURE, but it WILL work with the MAC ACTION software provided by PlusTek after installing the drivers... which is okay because their software actually does more than Image Capture.
I hope this helps.
2nd time around.
David guided me through the process of everything, he was patient, and helpful. A definite breath of fresh air, because he was knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge with me. He calibrated my scanner, rebooted my OCR option, created a zipper folder for me, he patiently answered all of my layman's questions, slowly and methodically. Just as I required- at my less than base tech level-
STELLLLLLLLAAAAR customer service and product knowledge.
he needs to train people-No, seriously. He was that good.
I have had this scanner for two years, and because of David, I can use it now. I will definitely buy from Plustek again. Simply from this experience.
Getting the colors right was the biggest challenge with the setup. The default was way too red. I'm not sure exactly how I got the correct result, just kept adjusting the variables. It took more than ten minutes and less than an hour.
The few things I couldn't figure out myself were quickly addressed with a call to their tech support line. These included moving the scanned files to a different location on my computer and getting images with black backgrounds to scan the black borders so that I got a fully scanned image.
A few more thoughts: My old Epson was small, with a 8.5x11.7 bed. I knew this scanner would be much bigger but hadn't really conceptualized how much bigger the device would be! Fortunately, I have the space for it. Also, it is a bit noisy. Not a problem for me, but worth noting.
