Very decent flatbed type scanner that is very easy to setup, install, and run.
Very easy to configure its settings and there does not appear to be a lot of useless bling in the software.
*The bigger size necessitates the need for its own power source. Works on both USB 2.0 and 3.0.
*Download and install the drivers & software FIRST prior to turning on the power and connecting the USB cable.
*300 dpi seems to be the sweet spot in terms of decent detail and speed of scan.
*Be weary of (some of its software settings) the use of "dust removal" On "high" tends to be hyper aggressive and remove some words on both pictures, documents, and PDF's. If you have need to use it, set it on "low".
*The more software modification settings enabled the slower the scan can take.
Overall, a decent purchase for light to moderate usage. I find in much better than the Cannon Lide series, which I've used extensively in the past.

Product Description
Note:
The A3 flatbed uses a CIS sensor that can only scan flat paper images, not three-dimensional items. Otherwise, it will lead to unclear or blurred scanning results. It is not recommended to scan clothes or CDs, acrylic sleeves, etc.
NOTE:
If your laptop does not with a disc drive, please visit our website to download the software for the scanner.
If you have any questions about installing the software or using the product, please E-Mail us with your order number and details of your problems. Our technicians will help you to solve the problems soon.

To scan images at 1200 dpi, please use our supplied ViiScan software. It can scan up to 1200x1200 DPI for full-size A3 documents on Windows OS.
For MacOS, the VF3120 scanner software can achieve 1200 dpi for a full-size A3 document. Regarding WIA, we currently only support scanning up to 600 dpi due to limitations imposed by Microsoft.

I gave this a test run using a print of a ship, not a real-photo, using their descreening utility and it worked well. The print shown above is a 11x14 at 300 DPI. After scan was done I resized to 1600 pixel on longest side. Without using the descreening utility the image looks like crap and I am very happy the tool was in the software provided with the scanner. All in all I am well pleased with the product. You do need space to install this. Installation was easy though I had to go to my DVD drive and manually click on setup to get it started.

ive yet to reach out to the manufacturer for support - will update this review if/when they resolve the issue. at first glance the scans looked pretty good, but upon closer inspection i notice that they all have streaks of missing pixels throughout. also, at 600dpi, the scan isnt as sharp as the old mustek this replaced. very disappointed. i hope this is just a faulty machine and not the typically quality (in which case i will have to resort to a much higher price point.) fingers crossed that they fix this.
