Customer Reviews:
Great once up and running..........2007-06-07
Nice - when it worked.......2007-03-22
Good Value But Noisy.......2007-02-22
On the plus side:
+ original setup went smoothly under Windows XP Pro using the FireWire interface
+ calibration is easy and works fine (see below)
+ scan times are acceptable (~3 min for straightforward 600 dpi 24 bit color 12"x17" scan)
+ Digital Ice is useful even if scan times increase by roughly 2-5x
Neutral:
o the adjustment options took some getting used to; initially you "reset" them often and start over until you get the hang of it
o creating and saving custom settings wasn't explained well, but once I figured it out, it worked well and saved time
Negatives:
- THE DISPLAYED PREVIEW IMAGE DOESN'T MATCH THE SCANNED IMAGE VIEWED WITH OTHER SOFTWARE ON THE SAME COMPUTER AND MONITOR!!! It tends to be darker making it very difficult to adjust scanner settings to achieve the desired result. You end up doing more test scans than would otherwise seem necessary.
- scanner is noisy; the combined low-frequency buzzing and high-pitched whirring takes some getting used to
- the supplied drivers and software worked fine but updating to the "latest drivers" from the MicroTek website caused my system to lock up with "Virtual Memmory" errors that couldn't be resolved until the software was completely removed, the MicroTek folder was manually deleted, and the software was reinstalled (and now some of my startup utilities don't!). I informed Microtek but never heard back.
- the pop-up "no scanner attached" notice from the MicroTek scanner server is annoying ("Duh, I know that!")
Other comments:
> 9800XL with the transparency unit offers some additional attractive software; LizardTech document fractal compression software is tenpting but couldn't find ample background and reviews/recommendations that would help me decide to pony up the extra cash.
A nice big flatbed scanner at a great price.......2007-01-10
short life.......2006-09-19

Customer Reviews:
This is the scanner used for American Art Archives.......2005-09-16
I've had this scanner for nearly two years now (it replaced a SCSI Microtek that did fail after several years of intense use). I'm using it on a Macintosh G5 dual 2gig, mostly for Photoshop, web, and OCR. It's much faster than the SCSI version and running with a fast Mac, there's no hicups in any foreground applications while scanning at 300 dpi (the only setting I need).
It's not unsual for American Art Archives do to 50 scans in a day. The Microtek just keeps on keeping on.
My one quibble is that the Scanmaker software has a few nagging interface oddities, like not being able to just hit enter/return to start a scan. Also, it's best to overview each item before scanning as if you just scan page after page, even if each page has similiar images, the software blows out all images after the first scan. What's up with that?
If you need a workhorse that can do tabloid and works with OSX, check this unit out.
great scanner for small business pror.......2003-01-28

Product Description
The ScanMaker 9800XL is Microtek's member of the A3 scanner family designed on the success of the ScanMaker 9600XL with greatly improved specifications and connectivity. The large 17" x 12" scanning area combined with a very high 1600 x 3200 dpi resolution covers almost all reflective scanning requirements. The improved optional transparency adapter now offers a very large 16" x 12" scan area and the maximum density of 3.7D. The scanner captures huge amounts of subtle highlight and shadow details, with accurate color values, thanks to the 48-bit CCD sensor and the inclusion of multi-sampling. The transparency adapter option also includes a set of film templates for 35mm slides, 35mm strips, medium format film and 5" x 4" film. Extra holders make this the perfect scanner for producing large contact sheets with the ability to deliver high-quality final scans too. To cover almost all connectivity requirements, three interface options are included as standard, FireWire, SCSI-2 and USB 1.1. A PCI FireWire card for Windows and cable, plus a USB cable are also included. Windows NT users can also use this scanner with the addition of a SCSI card and cable. The ScanMaker 9800XL includes a powerful software suite. Adobe Photoshop Elements, LaserSoft SilverFast Ai 5.5 (IT-8), ABBYY FineReader Sprint OCR and Ulead PhotoExplorer are all included for both MacOS and Windows. Windows users can also benefit from the ScanWizard Pro Network Scanning solution that allows several PCs to share this scanner over a local area network.
