shoddy software/hardware integration

Pros: scanner works

Cons: document feeder doesn't

Review: We purchased this product with the expectation of using the automatic document feeder to scan and store documents. We have two other scanners but none with a document feeder. After fiddling with the scanner for hours, and after more than an hour with Microtek technical support, we were informed that the Macintosh software controlling the document feeder was defective with no date for any fixes. We were told that we could keep the scanner while checking their web site for fixes, or return the scanner. Consequently, as the scanner was of no use to us, we returned it. It is amazing to us that a company can ship a product and software which doesn?t work together. We can?t imagine that we?re the first Macintosh users to test this product, yet it took Microtek technical support more than an hour to figure out the software didn?t work. We?ll never buy another Microtek product again.
