New Scanners From Storm Technology

Adding a scanner can be helpful in many ways. You can scan photographs to share by email or on the web and you can also scan documents to store or to fax. And the prices of many models have dropped below a hundred dollars. Storm Technology has some in that price range, including the PageScan USB. The USB connection makes it easy to install and set up. Storm's Tim Daughters says some new models are adding great new features....

"The Image Studio product line comes in two different flavors. One is VS, which is a sheet-fed scanner, the other is VF, which is a flatbed scanner, and both of these scanners incorporate the ability to do still video capture".

That lets you capture pictures from a camcorder or VCR. The scanners hook up to your computer either using USB or a parallel port. Prices start at under 150 dollars. Another new model is the Total Scan Express...

"The Total Scan Express is designed to be the fastest, most productive scanner in its class."

It uses compression to speed up image transfer and has buttons on the scanner that automate tasks like faxing or emailing documents. You can find more information at stormtech.com.
