Review of Agfa SnapScan 1212u by BTR2 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages USB, Looks good, simple to use
Disadvantages Yet another product with poor documentation

...The Agfa SnapScan 1212u is a USB flatbed scanner. It is mostly recommended for home use and maybe small business. The first thing you notice when you open the box is the dual Macintosh and Windows 98 support. Nothing mentionned about earlier versions of Windows. This is interesting if you own a PC besides your Mac and need to scan images to use on a PC. Agfa claims that its color capture is 36-bit and reaches over 68 billion colors. Its plate takes up to 600 (horizontal) x 1200 (vertical) in resolution and scans up to 9600 DPI. It ships with ScanWise, the Color It! image editor, and OmniPage LE. The latter is for text recognition, which I don't use very often, but a mate told me it is quite adequate. Installation This scanner is easy to install. First, you plug the USB cable from the scanner to the USB port of the hub. Second, plug... Read review

Very good
Review of Agfa SnapScan 1212u by pzorb taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Very fast, good sharp image
Disadvantages Slightly noisy

...I was looking for a good performance, cheap scanner for my student work. I saw a magasine review and it said that the Snapscan 1212u was the best. So I bought it for 70 pounds at my local PC World store. Installation was very simple, and took minutes with the USB connection, however the software has a futureistic look to it that takes a few seconds to get used to. The quality and speed of the scans is very good, and the 600dpi resolution is very sharp indeed. One slight annoyance is that the scanner makes a fairly loud rumbling noise as it moves over a picture. I would strongly recommend this product if you are looking for a home or gerenal use scanner. For business use, a 1200dpi scanner is better... Read review

snapscan success
Review of Agfa SnapScan 1212u by darkteckno taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Quality
Disadvantages Lid

...The snapscan 1212U out of the box isnt small..slightly bigger than my 2 year old plustek..but with USB is a joy to set up and use..not only faster but oh so quiet when scanning! Believe me this is important at one o' clock in the morning.. with the family upstairs! My last scanner made a terrible screeching sound on every scan. 5-10mins after opening the box I was scanning..software supplied is excellent and generous and most important..image quality is first rate.. I can honestly say I was gobsmacked at the quality scans of this scanner..the only thing I can say negative..and its a small negative is to agfa regarding the scanner lid..it just doesnt feel solid enough when lifting,it can move slightly from side to side.but hey..im nit picking.If you want a fast sleek quiet and impressive scanner look no further than the 1212u....
