This scanner is fairly heavy for its size, which, prevents it from moving during the scanning process. The lid has a closing mechanism that prevents it from slamming shut if your fingers slip but still manages to keep the scanning process efficient.
The Arc Soft software is much better than the version I had with my Epson RX500. It is efficient and doesn't seem to create alot of extra headaches by opening up another program to edit the scanned image. There are other software programs included that are of no use for me that I have eventually removed from the computer.
I have had this scanner for about two months now without any problems. Set up was quick and easy. The only con is the extra software programs. I wish companies would put on one CD the bare minimum one needs to use the hardware and put the extras on another or [something that bluntly tells you what you actually need to download to run the hardware]. This only due to the fact that I do not like the extra space these programs take up and I am not an expert programmer (only a do it yourselfer) at computers.
