Review: Yes, I'd buy it again. - Pro: super scanner, fast and great images. Con: Mustek-specific software. Trivial control and zero integration with other software: cannot use it with VueScan.
Review: Massive issue with drivers led to return for refund - Well, despite reading the bad reviews for Mustek products on here, I thought I'd risk it, as I am profecient with computers and had no need for their poor software as I already have Photoshop. I was prepared to spend some time setting this up, aware of the potential issues. However, I have no idea if the scanner even works, as I could not install any drivers. I used the ones provided, downloaded the latest from Mustek's site and elsewhere, tried hacks I searched for on the net etc etc. I spent 48 hours in total trying to get a driver to work, but without success. Mustek's support e mails were returned undeliverable, their support web site has gone down (after they reported slow bandwidth due to high usage from customers - there's a clue!) You could be lucky, the supplied driver could work fine on your machine. And you could have a usable but basic A3 scanner at a very low price. But even then, I'd recommend you get some better software, as this software provided is appalling! Good luck. I am going to pay more for a better machine...that works.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: above it says the scanner is A3 and then it says it is A4... will this scan A3 paper?**
A: Yes, I use it to scan A3 drawings and the scanner bed will take just over A3 paper.  The output images are quite large (as you would expect) but pretty good.

**Q: When scanning A3 documents do you get the full page or is there a 2-3mm border?**
A: You get the full A3 document

**Q: Is this scanner compatible on mac os sierra 10.12.5?**
A: I am currently running the scanner on OS Sierra 10.12.3, and it works fine. Not sure what the difference is with .5, am guessing not much. Hope that helps.

**Q: Does the scanner support latest mac high sierra 10.13 +?**
A: I sent mine back as it absolutely couldn't hook up even to an earlier version of Mac OS. Hopeless, a real shame.
