Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you are running any Windows Format other than XP you will want to ditch the installation disks, and go straight to Lexmark's website for Windows Version-specific drivers/instructions for your computer, or you will have problems with the installation. I had difficulty like about half of the other users with initial installation . . . I am running Windows 98, and something that the CD's have for Windows XP screwed up my computer for a couple of days. The drivers were XP ready and would not cooperate with a 98 format download. I went to the website for Lexmark and downloaded a "98" driver specifically for my unit and installed according to the new instructions. I also had to re-load Windows 98 and the drivers for the USB ports provided with CD for my computer motherboard. All in all, the insallation was a real PAIN . . . BUT . . . the unit's performance is OUTSTANDING--the BEST quality scanner I have EVER used. It is extremely FAST, very easy to use once you finally get it formatted for Windows 98. The printing quality is among the sharpest I have ever seen for a personal computer, and I have found it to be a piece of cake to operate since buying it. If I were to rate this unit based solely upon the ease of installation, I would give it 1-ZERO stars . . . installation was difficult, to say the least, but in performance, I would rate the unit a 5+ Stars for its outstanding features/ease of use/speed/quality of print, etc . . . I purchased the unit for it's performance . . . I viewed installation as merely a means to get the performance I desire . . . so my overall rating is on performance/quality ONLY--not installation. Despite the problems/difficulty I had with the installation, this product IS worth the money and the time to figure out how to properly configure it for your computer--after all, it is less than half the cost of other multifunction units with equal features. HOWEVER, you should not purchase this unit unless:
1) You are skilled at hardware/software installation, or,
2) You are running Windows XP--from reading other reviews, XP users seem to have an easy time of it!
