gjmwalsh : 11/02/05 01:04 AM : Incident created -   The list of certified scanners includes Epson Perfection 3170 as being "complete". The local dealers are pushing the Perfection 2480 and 2580 and do not even stock the 3170 which, I understand, is being phased out and offered in the US with a $50 rebate. Not here, of course. My research seems to indicate that the backend for the the 2480 and 2580 are not by epson but by SnapScan, which seems strange to me. In any event, has anyone in the Mandrake family had any experience with these models, partucularly with ocr applications? Many thanks for sharing .....
