IncludesTWAIN drivers. SDKfor scanner control, data extraction (drivers license barcode, other barcodes, OCR, MRZ), and image processing is available for browser-based and local applications on Windows and Linux operating systems.

The cost-effective OpticSlim 2700 is ideal for use in kiosks when fragile documents are scanned. The risk of damaged documents is minimized by using a flatbed scanner. This scanner includes TWAIN drivers and is fully supported by our data extraction and image processing SDK.

The Plustek SecureScan X-Mini Passport and Drivers License Reader is ideal for self-service kiosks, ATMs, or desktop use. This reader features visible and IR illumination. It scans passports, drivers licenses, and ID cards in about 2 seconds.

Plustek OpticSlim 2700 high-speed flatbed scanner is the FASTEST compact flatbed scanner on the market. It's 3-4 times faster than competitive scanners! The OpticSlim 2700 scans an 8.5 x 11" document in about 3 seconds and it is a cost-effective way to add document, ID, or passport scanning to your kiosks.

The Plustek VTM300 is a document and ID card scanner designed for use in kiosks, ATMs, and VTMs. IT scans both sides of the document or ID at the same time in about 2 seconds. TWAIN and SDK integration options are available. SDKs included scanner control, data extraction (barcodes, OCR, MRZ, OMR), and image processing.

The Plustek X-Cube ID reader is ideal for self-service kiosks, ATMs, or desktop use. This reader features visible illumination and scans drivers licenses and ID cards in about 2 seconds. Supports live preview display of images before they are captured.

The MobileOffice D620 scans both sides of cards up to 1.2 mm thick including embossed cards in as little as 7 seconds. It will also scan paper documents as small as 1.57" x 1.77" and as large as 4.13" x 23.36".

I'm planing to buy a scanner for 35mm film. I know that coolscan V will be one of the best option for its price, but occasionally I found 2 great offers for Minolta top scanners: Elite 2 and Elite 5400. Both of them are selling for very reasonable price, bur Elite 2 is still about 40% cheaper then Elite 5400, so I have a very obvious question, regarding this matter - is it a big difference in quality of the scans, between this 2 models, except the resolution?

There is a lot of information and opinions about superb performance of Elite 5400, but only a few posts, which I found about Elite 2 scanner. So I will be super happy for your opinion, especially if someone had an experience of using both of this scanners.

Do you mean the Scan Elite II or the Scan Elite 5400 II? I have the Scan Elite 5400 and, when it works, it is an outstanding scanner. Unfortunately, with all the years of use, it's become a flaky unit where it seems like it wants a longer and longer wake up period. Basically it will start to focus and hang about 80 - 90% through auto focus (using VueScan).

If you're talking about the Scan Elite II, the resolution is about 1/2 of the 5400 and less than a CoolScan V. That being said, I scan much of my work at 2700 ppi rather than the full 5400 because the shots simply don't warrant the full resolution of the 5400, so the lower resolution of the Scan Elite II may be just fine.

If you're talking about the 5400 II, that is a newer, and supposedly faster version of the 5400 with an LED light source instead of a CCFL light source. That makes scans appear potentially even sharper due to the very direct light source. Another difference is the dropping of IEEE 1394 on the 5400 II, if that makes a difference.

If my 5400 weren't on a slow path to it's grave, I wouldn't have bought the Nikon I use for much of my scanning. Another scanner to consider is the Canon FS4000US if you can get one with all the accessories since they're relatively inexpensive. I picked one up for around $150 shipped last fall specifically to scan APS film of my families since it can batch scan entire rolls. The scans, at least with my copy of the FS4000, are incredibly sharp. It excels with negative film but suffers more with slides since it has more noise than the Nikon or Minolta in the scans. Multiscanning (not available in Canon's software that I've found) does help in Vuescan, but the Nikon and Minolta beat it hands down for the old kodachrome slides I've been scanning.

During the last few days of researches I found dash of information with the similar issue with 5400 scaner, that you have. That makes me kind of sceptic, in terms of keep thinking about 5400 purchase, as it seems, that its common now days - to have this model in "half working" order...

I was thinking of getting FS4000 scanner as well, but then found a lot of claims, regarding it's noice and bad overall performance, so this option is no longer available for me (plus there is no ICE in fs400, afaik).

I can't say that I've seen really poor performance from my FS4000 when scanning negatives. It doesn't do as good a job with slides though due to requiring a higher dmax for dense slides (noisier). The FS4000 does have an IR channel so can be used with Vuescan's infrared cleaning option (a bit like ICE), but it doesn't have the branded ICE software bundled with it. Canon calls it FARE in their software, but it's a similar type of software that detects defects (within reason) and tries to blend them away. Probably the biggest complaint with the Canon I have is it's speed over USB. Supposedly if you use the SCSI interface it goes much faster, but supporting that is more difficult now with modern operating systems. As such, I just use Vuescan with all my scanners so I have a consistent UI with which to work.

As it happens, I also have a Plustek 8200i that I use for 110 negatives since I have a holder that was 3d printed for it. The biggest thing with the Plustek is making sure the film is exactly in the prime focus area since there is no auto focus. With negatives, my only real complaint is that the sharpness isn't up to that of the Nikon, though with the custom holder for 110 negatives and some tweaking, I've been getting grain sharp scans of the 110 media (old family pictures from the early 80s). It's not the best with slides (again, Nikon beats it hands down there) but it's the only one of the scanners that's currently being produced and supported (officially).

Regarding overall sharpness, unless you're planning to enlarge the pictures to their maximum based upon 300 divided in the total pixel dimensions, a bit of pre-sharpening in your photo editor and post sharpening before output goes a long way in producing acceptable results. The Nikon, Canon, and Minolta (all with auto focus) need less pre sharpening, but all need a little post sharpening when outputting due to lose of resolution when resizing an image down to your destination size.

And yeah, I also forgot to mention one very important for me downside of fs4000 scaner - his turtle speed...I've read about it few times, surfing through dome scanner tips threads and decide that I don't really want to try it, unless I will get "steal deal" for it. There is one fs4000 listed now on ebay for 79$ (+best offer), but it has no trays, which is almost impossible to find separate (for reasonable price) now days.

So what do you personally think: is 5400 will be a good option for 350$ or I rather consider 200$ Elite 2? Both of the scanners are going within my budget, but I still not sure - what to get...Or maybe I need to look for the clean Nikon V to skip all of the possible troubles with Minolta scanners?
