Summary: Retired USNR O-6
Comment: So far so good .... I received the Optic Film 7200 with the Silverfast SE disk version. B4 you start, you can get a FREE Silverfast Upgrade to 6.6.0r2 and there is another one due out shortly. Contact Laser Soft Imaging in Sarasota FL @ 941-921-4815 from 3PM to 5PM for tech support from "Boris' -- he is very helpful. The Silverfast is terrific and once you get over the learning curve; you will be very satisfied. Forget the tutorial manual that Amazon links to the hardware; it does not address Silverfast SE technique -- only the higher versions e.g. Silverfast Ai. FYI -- Plustek is coming out with the NEW Plustek 7500i in 4Q2008. It will have the latest Silverfast software and better imaging at a respectful price.

Summary: terrible directions
Comment: We have installed it but it will not work. It sounds like a great product but if you can't make it work it is useless.

Summary: will not install
Comment: With great anticipation, I opened the sturdy, well-packed box and fit everything together logically into my up-to-date computer (Hey, I've done this a hundred times uneventfully). Bad surprise: The Plustek OpticFilm 7200 won't install. Plustek failed to include the little "Quick Guide included in the packing box for step-by-step instructions...." They have no support number.
Anybody actually get their Quick Guide? Need help, please.

Summary: Fantastic Scanner for the Price
Comment: This scanner is fantastic. I'm only using the "quick scan" functions and I'm getting wonderful scans. I've scanned them at 2400 dpi and put them on my 42" plasma television. They look wonderful. Others have commented that the bundled software can be difficult to install or confusing. You don't need to install it or use it, not with a Windows XP machine anyway. I probably won't bother to install it. The scanner is well built. The slide holder is very nice - each slot is sort of spring loaded so the slides go in easy and they are held snug. The slide holder can go in either side and it is notched so you know when the slide is in the correct place. The instructions say to point the top of the slide toward the back of the scanner. This is fine for images that are landscape. For images that are portrait, you will have to rotate the slide 90 degrees or the scanner will crop your slide. I scanned slides at 1200 dpi and they still had plenty of detail for the 42" t.v. The color was a little off though. I suppose that could be corrected with software. Scanning at 24 dpi takes less than a minute. Be sure to get all the dust off the slides before scanning. I'm using a very soft paint brush right now. I will be getting some compressed air. If you using only the software for the quick scan function, you will get an icon in tray on your desktop. You double click on that icon and choose the initial settings for your scans - file type, dpi, file name, file location, etc. You can also tell the software to let you preview adjust the scans. After you make your choices, close the window and then you push the quick scan button on the scanner for each slide you scan. You can set the software so it will give you a preview of the slide. You can make additional adjustments and then click on the button in that window to do the final scan. The selection of the area it will scan is always off some, sometimes by a lot. It's easy enough to adjust so you get the whole slide. When the scanner is done with that slide, it saves the file where you told it with the name you gave it plus an increasing number and the window closes. Move the holder so the next slide is ready and push the quick scan button again. It is very simple. You don't need to be intimidated by software with this machine.
