- I wanted information about the DEST scanner. It was advertised in MacZone. It
- says it comes with RECOGNISE OCR software. It is capable of scanning 8.5 size
- paper with 10 pages of automatic feeder. the cost is $649.00 with software.
- My questions:
- * how good the RECOGNISE OCR Software is??
- * Ad. says that it's capable of scanning at 300dpi resolution. Is it just a
- black and white scanner or it takes the grey scale??.
- * Does anyone has phone no of the manufacturer [ i believe it's DEST].
-
- I am asking these question on net b'cos MacZone was not able to give anymore
- info than what it says in the Ad. [ which doesn't say much!].
- Since, MacZone doesn't give money back guarantee on this system , i can't
- just buy the system without complete knowledge about how good it is.
- i appreciate your help.
- thanx
