I installed this scanner on a Windows XP home computer using the included CD. Everything went smoothly. It is supposed to work on Windows 7 too, but there may be more difficulty with installation (from what I have read anyway.) Once installed, the scanner works beautifully for the oversized documents etc. One of the BEST features of this scanner (for me anyway) is the included ABBY Fine Reader, which is an OCR conversion program. (Again this may be easier to use on a Windows XP system.) I am scanning 11 X 15 DOUBLE COLUMN text pages, and I have the settings set for 100% size. This creates a 60MB scan! However, my Windows XP with 2 GB of RAM and a good size Page File, can handle it no problem. The ABBY software then automatically 'reads' the scan and converts it to actual text. (Doing 2 columns is something Adobe Acrobat can't do!) Then it has a "save wizard" which will automatically send it to MS Word. It is VERY accurate! It's true the scanner is cheaply built, and you have to handle it carefully. But so far I am very happy with it.Read full review

Mustek drivers sometimes can be hard to find, not available for Linux or klunky to use. The A3-1200S series: does it include the ScanExpress A3 USB 1200 Pro? Probably a distinction without a difference. Mustek-USA took down the nice XP driver, but there it is, still on the Mustek-Deutchland site. Drivers presented for download depend where you were in Mustek when you searched for them. Linux, Win7 and XP offer nothing for native Mustek drivers, so off you go to hunt them down. Win7 driver may support 64-bit, but I didn't try it. I prefer XP scanning for Musteks, picking the TWAIN driver with Irfanview. There is so little inside these scanners to go wrong. Remember, A3 metric is slightly smaller than 11x17 inches. Very few affordable products out there competing in this flatbed size!Read full review

This scanner is quite fast. I bought it to scan in some old books there didn't quite fit a standard scanner. It's a very light weight scanner and has surpassed my expectations. I used it to bulk-scan a 200 page book into Adobe with no problems and I've also used it to scan images into various art programs like VuePrint and Illustrator. Again, everything works as expected and faster then the HP scanner I used to have.
Great scanner from Mustek. It also has support for Linux, which is a huge plus! Note that the driver needs to be downloaded from Mustek's website. Only drivers for Windows and Mac are on the the CD that comes with the scanner.
