Epson is know for its printers and scanners, and this the Perfection 610 certainly lives up to Epson’s reputation. The scanning resolution is great for high-end users as well as novices. The interface is USB (Universal Serial Bus) so the speed is much faster than traditional parallel scanners. Plus, you dont have to go and unplug your printer everytime you need to use your scanner and you dont have to go out there and buy an expensive and hard-to-find parallel coupler. Its extremely easy to set up and use, and the user manual that comes along with it solves most problems one would face. Overall, great product for what you pay! I would definitely buy another Epson product and would recommend it to anyone in the market for a printer or scanner.
