Compatibility: I am using this scanner on MacOS 12.0.1 Monterey. So far, it has worked flawlessly. Installation was the standard procedure, not some strange custom installer. The scanner comes with a cable that has a USB-A connector on the host side. Recent MacBooks don't have USB-A ports. So if you want to use the scanner with a recent MacBook, you will need a USB-A to USB-C adapter or else use a different USB cable.Image Quality: I have scanned in black-and-white, grayscale, and color modes. All work well. And the different resolutions work well. The scanner correctly figures out the size of the page when it is in auto-size mode. And when you scan in PDF mode, it has no problem with documents that have a mix of page sizes., e.g., pages with foldouts. The file sizes are what one would expect. The black-and-white mode produces very compact files.Scanning Application: The included software has a reasonable set of features. The user interface looks and feels like a native Apple application, which is good. Some scanner applications make their own strange user interface widgets that are unfamiliar and usually buggy. Refreshingly, this is not the case with the Plustek's "MacAction 1.0.2.7" software. The OCR works well enough. There's a setting for the language for OCR. Set that to the language you expect to be OCRing.Downsides: Scanning a full-size page takes a few seconds. Of course one wants things to be fast, but the scanning is not that slow compared to the time it takes to open the lid, position the document, etc. So the speed is ok, in my opinion. One area for improvement is the OCR. When you finish scanning a bunch of pages with OCR enabled, the application performs the OCR operation. That causes the application to block for a while, which makes the user wait, losing productivity if there are more things to scan. It would be better if the OCR could be done concurrently with the scanning, e.g., OCRing each page as soon as it's done being scanned. Doing it in the background afterwards is also a possibility, but that has potential downsides because scanned documents sometimes go in a junk pile, and background processing means that a problem might not be detected until later, when the originals have been junked.Summary: I am completely satisfied with the Plustek OpticSlim 1180. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, and it does it well.

I absolutely love this scanner. I have been working to diminish my stuffed file drawers by throwing away what I don't need and scanning what I want to keep. Some of the keepers were newspaper clippings and other larger items that my other scanner couldn't accommodate--other than scanning them in pieces. Thus began my search for a large-format scanner.Is this the best large-format scanner on the market? That depends on your criteria and how much you're willing to spend. Here's why it is the best for me.1) If you compare the prices of large-format scanners, this is an unbelievable bargain. If you're trying to scan fine art, it may not be what you need. For my purposes of having high-def, clear copies of precious but mundane items, it was a screamin' deal.2) This has a great user interface and is fairly intuitive and easy to use. It took me a little while (maybe 20-30 minutes) to figure out exactly how everything worked, which I consider not bad at all. It also has excellent instructions.3) It offers a lot of fine tuning, with options of color/BW, level of definition/dpi, JPG/PDF, etc.4) I initially couldn't get it to work and was ready to send it back. I called tech support, and I got a human. Not a human after a recorded menu. A real human answered the phone. The kind and knowledgeable tech support rep who answered the phone walked me through troubleshooting, and I discovered a huge, embarrassing, total rookie error. I hadn't fully plugged in the USB cable. The rep was totally kind about it.5) Most importantly, this scanner creates clear, high-quality scans. Yay! Mission accomplished.(If you found this review helpful, I'd really appreciate if you would click the "Helpful" button. Thanks so much for reading! Liz)

Installation of software only took a few minutes. I have an Acer intel core 15 with windows 10. Abbyy Finereader 12 Spint made a quick access folder on my desktop so I just click it open to start the software. The scanner is lightweight but takes a lot of desk space and needs to be by both an outlet and your computer. Once the power is on it’s a lift flap to put item to be scanned on the flatbed. You can remove the hinges if needed and they go back in easily.The software feels ancient with limited options such as only 300 dpi or 600dpi. There’s not a lot of adjustment except brightness. There is either black and white, grey, or color.You get the choice of previewing before scanning which is nice and you can place multiple pages into one scan (but you have to place them each on the flatbed individually). You can scan to make a pdf, an image pdf, an image file (mine makes jpegs), word, etc.I’m using this for my scrapbooks which are 12 by 12. I’m making digital files in a pdf format and have made some into jpegs. You lose some of the quality but they look decent. The files start getting pretty large so I’ll probably need a hard drive for back up and storage.I’ve uploaded some of the massive jpegs to Shutterfly. I’ll update on how the prints look considering this is def like taking a picture of a picture the uploading and then printing so we shall see how that looks.Overall I’m happy with the quality and ease of use. It does sound similar to a fax machine at times when it’s scanning. Def not a silent machine. I love the size and capability and everyone in my family is already begging to use it. I’m happy with the price point as well since I priced out a company to scan my scrapbooks and it was 2.99$ a page plus other fees. Ten years of scrapbooks would cost a small fortune so this has saved me a ton. Plus I prefer to have the control even though it’s a time investment.I’ll update with any issues or concerns as I continue to use the Plustwj OpticAlim 1180 scanner. Questions welcomed.

The scanner is easy to setup, fast and produces very crisp and clear images.It takes a bit of practice to sometimes find the right settings for your source material. It seems to struggle with certain colour palettes, especially darker sections of an image. In one test case, my cheap Epson scanner on top of the printer produced a more pleasant result than this more premium model.Normally, I don't like to use any filters or enchancements from the scanner software and prefer to do everything manually in an editing program. However, I found without using "auto density" feature the scan would produce a very washed out scan.Overall, this is a good budget scanner but it's probably not for me. I am in the process of returning this and have bought the big brother model, the A320E - which is a CCD type scanner (this is CIS) and should produce richer colour palettes than OS1180.

Lange habe ich nach einem DinA3-Scanner gesucht, der mir dabei helfen sollte meine Bilder zu digitalisieren, eben für die Ewigkeit bewahren und sie so vielleicht einem möglichen Käufer vor stellen zu können. Tatsächlich ist der Plustek der Zweite Scanner. Nach ein paar Monaten und 395 Scans später kann ich berichten dass ich an meinem Ziel angelangt bin.Der Plustek kommt sehr gut verpackt mit allem Zubehör daher, um ihn an einen PC anzuschließen und ans Laufen zu bekommen. Windows 11 erkannte den Scanner sofort, was der Vorgänger eben nicht konnte. Selbst wenn man sich nach der Bedienungsanleitung an die Reihenfolge der Inbetriebnahme hielt, wollte Windows 11 mit dem anderen Scanner nicht zusammen arbeiten. Das aber nur Nebenbei erwähnt, damit man nachvollziehen kann wieso es klasse ist dass der Plustek sofort lief. Die Aufstellungsanleitung ist eindeutig und leicht zu verstehen.Die mitgelieferte Software erlaubt es einen die Bilder schon korrigiert zu scannen. Da ich aber meine Bilder pur haben wollte, genauso wie sie nun mal sind mit ihren Rändern, Knicken, Flecken und Schmierhintergründen, ich generell in dafür vorgesehenen Programmen Bilder bearbeite, habe ich die Software nicht in allen Facetten eingesetzt. Die Schnelltasten funktionieren hervorragend, gehörten aber auch noch nicht in meine Arbeitsweise. Trotzdem; Nice to have.Der Plustek scannt gnadenlos alles, wenn man es dann eben möchte. Wie erwähnt wollte ich genau das. Der Scanner hält die Details auf 1200 dpi so genau fest dass man ganz leicht nicht nur die Maltechnik sondern sogar die Struktur des Papieres ganz genau erkennt. Gnadenlos, ist er eben, gnadenlos gut.Der Plustek ist eindeutig ein Scanner der auch einen Profi, der mal was zu Hause ordentlich digitalisieren möchte, zufrieden macht. Plustek scannt Schrift, Bild und Fotos locker ein. Ob Sie jetzt die Bilder beim scannen verändern wollen oder hinterher ist dabei vollkommen machbar.Eindeutig eine Kaufempfehlung für diesen Scanner.

Possiedo questa stampante da due giorni.La uso poiché, per motivi universitari, necessito di scannerizzare libri e portarli come PDF in un tablet, con chiari vantaggi. (Porto meno peso, gli evidenziatori non perdono nella pagina seguente, posso zoomare e prendere appunti nel bordo senza rovinare l'originale)Provengo da una Canon LiDe 400, uno scanner di marca che ha ottime prestazioni.Sfortunatamente, essendo una stampante A4, le scritte vicino alla rilegatura venivano illeggibili. Per cui ho dovuto optare per uno scanner A3.Da utente Windows, ho trovati online i driver, e impostato i vari pulsanti possono essere impostati, grazie ad un programmino presente nello stesso sito dove si trovano i driver. (Si trova lo stesso per utenti Mac).Una volta installati i driver, ho quindi aperto il programma "Scanner" presente di default nei sistemi operativi Windows. Le scan erano oggettivamente brutte. Troppo luminose, troppo sbiancate. Usando il programma "scan e fax" sempre presente di default ho potuto abbassare la "luminosità " e aumentare il contrasto, avendo scan praticamente indistinguibili dal LiDe 400 (a parità di DPI).Usualmente uso 300 DPI, ci mette circa 8 secondi. Ho provato 1200 DPI. Ci ha messo 1 minuto, 60 secondi e passa.A 400 DPI ci impiega oltre 20 secondi.I materiali non sembrano eccellenti, ma come stampante A3, fa il suo lavoro, ed è eccellente, per ora.Aggiornerò in caso di cambiamento.
