The USB flatbed scanner has five buttons, a large central scan button surrounded by smaller buttons like a bear’s paw. This will appeal for users valuing push-button operation and also for users preferring software buttons found in the system tray of your computer. Installation is very simple; however the scanner can be operated via a pre-installed copy of Photoshop 6. For faxes, one-off copies, bog-standard scans and emails, this is ideal. When the scanner is working, you have the convenience to copy fax or mail a document either by setting from the scanner panel or on the desktop. In use, it is faster and delivers better quality scans with a resolution of 1200 x 2400dpi and 42 bits per pixel. No matter what operating system you are using, Mustek Bear Paw offers great quality scanning and better value for money.
