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.

Customers like the quality of the scanner. They say it's a great scanner for pictures and large documents. The scans are excellent and can be easily improved in Photoshop. It's also perfect for scanning 12X12 photo albums and does a 300dpi scan in seconds.

Customers are dissatisfied with the button on the scanner. They mention that it's disappointing that there is no scan button in the interface. They also mention that they are reminiscent of the giant mechanical push buttons from the 80's or 90's.

"...There's no dust removal setting, for example. Finally, there's no "scan" button in the interface; for every scan you must click one of seven icons..." Read more

Excellent 12x17" scanner if 800 dpi meets your needs
4 Stars
Excellent 12x17" scanner if 800 dpi meets your needs
This replaced a Plustek OpticPro A320L which broke down within a few weeks of use. The two are apparently identical except that this A320E uses a Toshiba 800 dpi imaging element in place of the A320L's Sony 1600 dpi element. I don't need more than 600 dpi and the Toshiba element appears to deliver high quality scans so for the difference in price the A320E is very attractive for me.The scanner has a row of "One-touch scan" buttons on its right edge which in principle are a very nice idea. But the DocAction/MacAction software that programs their functions is seriously inadequate, which makes them all but useless at least for my purposes. For instance, one common task for me is to scan successive pages into my ABBYY FineReader software for batch editing and OCR. But DocAction offers no way to do this; it insists on starting a new instance of FineReader for each new page. Another common task is scanning outsize art. But for that it is best to use VueScan, which needs to control the scanner itself. So the buttons are a good idea whose bad execution deprives them of value.I did have a little difficulty in installing the scanner under Windows 10. I was able to resolve the problem straightforwardly with the aid of Plustek's excellent online chat help.To illustrate the scanner's capabilities I attach two scans. One is a standard color and grayscale target. Here it can be seen that the scan quality if very good, if not quite outstanding. The other is of a very difficult object, a 14kt gold watch, wrapped around a towel roll. Scan bar motion is right to left and resolution is 400 dpi. Note that only the watch's crystal is actually in contact with the scanner glass.Aside from the disappointment of the one-touch scanning buttons and a little residual worry regarding reliability (based on my sad experience with the A320L, whose mechanism is very similar) I am satisfied that this scanner will meet my needs well, at a relatively modest price.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2023
I've had it about 2 weeks and I've been putting it thru all the paces! It's quick, accurate and simple. I'm attempting to digitize 40 years of family photo albums along with various other family mementos for safekeeping. My album pages look great (and don't require further cropping unless I go back to eliminate the hole punches), Easily scans up to the 12x17 it advertises and for larger than 12x17 just 2 scans and PhotoShop photomerge create 1 excellent image! This was exactly what I needed at a cost I could justify. Customer support even has an online chat option for quick answers.
