- Great scanner then; wouldn't buy it now...
The s400 did a much better job out of the box and was an order of magnitude faster than the one it replaced. (an ancient UMAX Astra 1220P)
I was disappointed when it gave up the ghost after a short four years. (The aforementioned Astra, despite being MUCH older, still works AFAIK.) Wanted to see if a repair was feasible...but to my unpleasant surprise, discovered that Microtek has shut down North American operations. No repair facilities, no over-the-phone technical support.

- What a POS No Mac OSX Support***Company going under***
I gave it one star because there was no other option.I owned a Scanmaker E3 for years (bought in 1997 and retired in 2007) without issue and now I wasted 100.00 on this no longer supported POS.I've owned this for about a year now.Works well except for the software, which crashes often, and their tech support is a waist of time.Does not support Leopard 10.5, which has determined the rating of zero. Makes me wonder how many more scanners will not be supported.Their website is often down and ... Read More
Rating: - killed by a leopard, and good riddance
so, funny story, the microtek s400 has no support for mac os x 10.5 leopard, and microtek has no plans for updated drivers.which i guess is okay, because the software was never honestly that good.the scanner hardware itself is fine, though strictly par.i did like the backlit slide adapter, but most of my slide photography needs have gone digital in the last year.i might buy another scanner for other document scanning, but its not bloody likely to be a microtek.sorry guys, you lose.

- Self-starting and -centering
I have found the Microtek ScanMaker S400 Flatbed Scanner a very versatile and useful product at a very reasonable price. I particularly like its ability to start up on its own and center on the copy being copied. This saves me time, frustration, and 'clicks.' I am a bit awed by all that can be done with this machine which I have only begun to use.
Rating: - Great Scanner for the Money
This is a Great Scanner for the Money.
And no I don't work for the Microtek company I am just a satisfied customer that would like to share his thoughts on this product.
These days you never know how well the product you buy will perform until it's too late.
I am not sure why other people that bought this scanner had so many problems.
I installed the scanner software onto the computer first before attaching the USB cable from the scanner to the computer and the entire installation ... Read More
