Visioneer Ultra-Slim OneTouch 7400 USB Photo Scanner (74007D-WU)

I purchases this scanner for work to replace a Visioneer 7300 that I had been using. There are two of us that often needed to scan in documentation and that Visioneer 7300 had served us well. However, when we were upgraded to Windows 7 machines, we found out the 7300 was not compatible and hence my search for a new machine.This scanner is a nice piece of hardware - it is powered off the USB bus, meaning no extra cords, and the buttons on it's face do exactly what you want them to do. It was very easy to setup, install, and use, and if you need to move it around, having just the single USB cord to take with you is nicer than dealing with a power cord and data cable.The included software is reasonably easy to use and the scanner's actual output is fantastic for my use (mostly high resolution scans of black and white documents).The negatives? The USB port on the scanner is in an awkward location - instead of it being at the rear, near the hinge, it is up front. This means that much of the cord length is wasted in laying along side the body of the scanner itself. I believe this was done because the "brains" of the scanner is near the buttons, so that's why the USB cable plugs in there. The only other part I found annoying was the registration process online for the software. It seemed cumbersome and not at all intuitive. If you can figure it out without having to clink around, well you're a better man than I!Overall a good scanner for the money and is serving me well!

This is a great scanner for full-size paper documents. Not so great for photos if you want really good, clear, crisp photos. If you just want to slap a photo on the web or your digital picture frame, it's fine. It is very nicely made. The features I liked the most are that it is a USB connection, and that it will scan a full-sized sheet of paper even though it is small and thin. It's barely bigger than an 8.5X11 sheet of paper. The photo editing software (Photoimpression) that comes with it isn't that great either, but adequate once you get the hang of it. I can set the resolution for 300 dpi prior to scanning, and the photo still isn't that great. I also can't get the "one touch" function to work either. It did work the first time I tried it, but then wouldn't work anymore. No problem though, you can just control it from the menu on your computer monitor. It also doesn't seem to like to be disconnected and reconnected. Everytime I've done that, it won't work and just gives error messages until you reboot your computer. As simple as it seemed to be, I did encounter a problem when trying to load the driver (and I am a 30+ year IT person); it didn't seem to load entirely successfully, but works. If you want a scanner that is compact; that connects via USB; and that will scan full-sized documents and do a decent job on photos, you can't go wrong with this one for the price.

Already had one. Was buying this one for the software, which it did not have.

If you are looking for a cheap, decent-quality flatbed scanner that will do most straightforward tasks, this is what you want. It's slim, rests well on most surfaces, and has a hinge to allow for bulkier objects such as books. It has five buttons (customizable) and comes with slightly more than mediocre software.The resolution on this scanner is rather good. While it might not serve the needs of a graphics professional, for most other tasks the resolution and image quality of this scanner will more than suffice. On highest resolution, you get a lot of good quality detail -- and the scanning is pretty fast and quiet, too.The only real complaint I have about this device is that its driver has no support for edge detection and automatic cropping/resizing based on the size of the document. You must do that manually, and that can be frustrating sometimes. But it does support OCR, works with windows 7, is powered off of USB, and will take care of most tasks well.I recommend this scanner.

I bought this to replace the Visioneer OneTouch 9520 Photo scanner (95201D-WU) I bought for my second computer upgrade to Windows 7 and it works some what better on the W7 OS than the 9520 model did; not perfect but better..Like the Visioneer OneTouch 9520 Photo scanner (95201D-WU), I still get random error messages during the preview scan and I still can not get it to crop the image automatically like the Scanner and Camera Wizard did in XP Pro.I also bought this model for my first Windows 7 upgrade to replace the 7300 model that was not compatible and it seems to work fine on it (but I don't do a whole lot of scanning on it like I do my work computer)..It is a space saver compared to the bulky 9520 model..Overall, it will suffice for now.

I love the basic premise of this scanner: small enough to bring with you and scan everywhere, no additional electric - works off the computer power. However I felt that it was a complicated installation - too many steps, when I expected plug & play technology. That being said, it works easily enough, and scans quickly enough, for my purposes on the road. It is not my "perfect dream" scanner - which would be a super-fast scanner for tons of old photos at storage/web quality.

Still can't use it it doesn't seem to want to pair up with my computer and I don't have an old computer can't seem to find the right correct drive on my computer to run the software software does not run on its own like it should

This replaced an older model of the Visioneer and has the same features, including the key feature of multiple buttons that really makes a lot of sense, so you wonder why other scanners lack it. It's also remarkably slim and lightweight, and the way it works off USB power is remarkable and convenient. The software is easy to install and use, though sometimes it's a bit balky and sometimes it tries so hard to be smart for you that it gets in the way.
