JMAHON24  Microtek will leave you "High and dry." A while back I had purchased an S-400 scanner and within a week upgraded to Leopard. The scanner no longer worked. I contacted Microtek numerous times and was finally told they were not upgrading the necessary software for my unit. I turned to Silverfast for help, they delivered software which ran as good or better than Microtek software I had ran on previous Microtek scanners I owned. Never again Moicrotek, you stink..

FRANKE  Like others, I am frustrated that Microtek isn't keeping up with needs of *current* hardware owners. But what company does these days?

Still, I panicked when I couldn't get my i900 to work w/ Leopard. For a while I used an old SilverFast just to keep the scanner working. That's fine, but SilverFast is expensive and incredibly slow for jobs that don't have to be perfect.

Now I've download for Microtek's ScanWizard 7.61 from MacUpdate. (I had recently gotten v7.52 from the Microtek website, and it was useless.) This one does the trick.

I love this scanner, even though I'm not thrilled w/ the company these days. It's the best I've owned. Given the quality of most of the others under $1500, I'd go with Micritek. I hope it lasts a lot longer, but when it's time, I'll probably buy another... now that the software problem is finally solved.

Thanks for making it easy to find.

XYPHER  Now why doesn't this support the Scanmaker X6?

RICHMOOG  DON'T buy Microtek - I have a ScanMaker 4700, a great product which performed flawlessly until Mac OS Leopard! I have repeatedly tried to get some information regarding a new driver but they seem more concerned about me buying a new scanner!?

WRONG attitude to customers, WRONG attitude to increasing scrap heaps on our planet!

ROG  It worked once, now I get "Error = -1".

TURNITAROUND  Microtek advertised a scanner years ago, i think it was a V1212 or something. It never worked with OSX 10.3. although it said so on the box. Tech support claimed an update was in the works. Months passed, no update! I tried to return it and was not able to because I exceeded the time allowed to return.

Never again will i spend my money on a Microtek product or recommend their products for the company i now work for that has over 5000 employees.

HP proved to be the best scanner for the job!

SINFE  I feel it my responsibility to write about the Microtek scam, how they cheated my mom to by a Scanmaker X12 with a light-lid for as much money as the actual scanner. This was like 4 years ago and to this date she hasn't been able to scan one single negative or dia.

Some poor scanning through USB 1 under OS 9.2 but not SCSI and forget about OS X, let's say that the support doesn't reach up to poor, it's down in the sours. A lot of money down the drain.

Be ware of the con-men on Scanmaker and I strongly advice you don't buy anything from fraud people.

ANONYMOUS  I have never rated any product before this, but my feelings were so strong that I was on the web looking for microtek just to let them know that scanwizard 5 is by far the worst product I haver ever used. It looks simple. Too simple. I can not even name a file. it's untitlted 1 or 2 or 3. cannot move from on program to the next, cannot save a file. help is no help! I am not the most savy on a computor, but I can get around photoshop, microsoft publisher, paint. I really hate this program, what a waste of money.

RUFUS T. FIREFLY  Well: 7.20.1 is the latest version listed on the site; its not listed as "Tiger clean"

Like a lot of people I've had trouble keeping my Microtek scanners running. I had read many forums and troubleshooting places; still, I couldn't get very far. Its a flaky piece of software, and install is a pain; there are many things you must remove. I had done all this and still the scanners didn't work.

And then I remembered the old "SCSI Voodoo." I thought we were past all this, but evidently not. For me, the scanners came to life when I switched the USB cable from going to the tower to going to the cinema monitor.

If you're still trying to wrestle with Microtek SUB devices, and you've done everything all the other forums are telling you to do... you could try this: switch where the USB cable goes plugs into.
