Description
The Visioneer OneTouch technology is changing the way people think about and use scanners, thanks to its revolutionary integration of hardware and software. The OneTouch 8100 42- bit color scanner for Windows 95/98/NT 4.0 is not just an incredibly powerful way to scan; it is the faster, smarter, easier way to fax, copy, e-mail, or publish documents. With its dedicated function buttons and powerful software integration, it is the office tool you have been waiting for.
The Visioneer One Touch 8100 is designed with personal use or small home business scanning in mind. Sporting a compact design, easy to set up, and easy to operate, the 8100 features an optimal 600 x 1,200 dpi resolution (2,400 dpi enhanced) and 42-bit color depth for scanning crisp black text, consistently reliable color, and photo-realistic images. The parallel or USB interface permits virtual plug-and-play ease, so you can get set up and scanning in no time.
Five-button operation allows you to fax, copy, e-mail, or scan documents at the touch of a single button. The character recognition program (OCR) is a package component, allowing you to scan text for speedy editing. Also in the software bundle, you'll find PaperPort Deluxe, which scans directly to network drives for sharing documents and images within work groups. MGI PhotoSuite II SE supports modification of images, so you can touch up, organize, create, show, and share photos.
If you are short on counter space, the One Touch 8100 (just under 17 by 11 by 4 inches and weighing just 6 pounds) moves easily to a shelf or closet for storing until it's needed again. It has an 8.5-by-11.69-inch scan area and comes with a complete software bundle, including TextBridge Pro 8 OCR, WebPublisher Link, PictureWorks, and PhotoEnhancer. With all these features and one-step setup, the One Touch 8100 couldn't be more practical for PC owners. --Barbara Price

Item Not Received
[ Posted: 2008-11-19 ]
After the time allotted for shipping had expired and attempts to contact the seller were unsuccessful I filed a claim with Amazon.com stating that I had not received the item. Amazon.com then was able to contact the seller and I received a full refund within one week. Apparently, the seller had already sold the item and failed to update their account.
It works for me

We have used this scanned with Windows XP for over a year now with no problems whatsoever!
Quite possibly the worst scanner ever!!!

This scanner does not work at all with WinXP or Win2K prof!
Several times during the last year or so I've owned it, I wanted to do what those guys from the movie Office Space did to the printer.
...take it out back and smash it to smithereens with a baseball bat.
Oh yeah...did I mention I hate this scanner.
Excellent scanner for the price

I have had this scanner for almost 2 years and it's a workhorse. Under W2K, it installed swiftly and it's easy to run. I plug it when I need it, is recognized right away and I'm ready to scan. Photos, receipts, documents - this does a wonderful job on everything.
Update and Installation Problems 8920 USB
[ Posted: 2004-03-20 ]
At a low price the scanner is a reasonable buy. Buying this scanner used may be a good option. Users may give up trying to install it, leaving the scanner in "as new" condition.
The "Check for OneTouch Updates" options starts to download then at the 30 seconds to go mark says it's unable to connect with server. When retry is chosen the time goes to 17,000 ± seconds. The update does not load ever after leaving the that time go by.
There were a few problems with the installation, but that's not unusual with many products. The one-touch features are a waste of programing.
