I'd rate it a minus if I could.......2007-11-26
This was a fantastic scanner, but after 13 mos - i month out of warranty the lamp went out. Microtek has I understand taken everything off shore - to China no doubt, and they do not repair or have a way to buy parts for this piece. Wish I had waited a while to buy this piece so I would have seen some negative reviews. 1500.00 for a piece of equipment that only lasts 12 months is not - repeat - not a good investment for anyone. Now I am looking for a new scanner.

scanners any more, they only replace whole units under warranty. our website is pacificmacs you will
need to inquire about repair services for these scanners.
absolutely no support.......2007-10-31
I bought this scanner about a year ago and have been happy with it. Unfortunately I bought a new computer running Vista. Microtek didn't release Vista drivers until this month and they don't work! But you won't get any help from Microtek. The only support they seem to offer is by email and so far have been completely worthless. I'm left dedicating an old PC running XP to the scanner. For this kind of money I expect to be able to talk to technical support and get some help. I won't buy another scanner from them, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone else.
BEWARE !! Microtek does not repair if there is a problem.......2007-09-17
Our Microtek scanner lasted about 18 months before it had problems with the light and focus. Then the light burned out and started to smell like it there was an electrical fire. We called Microtek and they told us that they do not repair or replace these products. Out of luck - and out of a lot of money for an unsupported inferior product. Do your homework - there are a lot of reviews and "opinions" which describe this very problem. Nevermore - Microtek !
STILL NO DRIVER FOR VISTA.......2007-08-30
We have this scanner at work. Unfortunately, it hasn't been used for the last couple months because there is still no driver for Windows Vista. They have been bumping back the expected release date for a driver for at least three months. If their developers are so slow, or they didn't have access to Vista (which has been available to retail since what January), they should at least put a realistic release date. This scanner is too expensive to have to wait indefinitely for what would seem to be baseline support.

This is the scanner used for American Art Archives.......2005-09-16
This is the scanner used for American Art Archives
I've had this scanner for nearly two years now (it replaced a SCSI Microtek that did fail after several years of intense use). I'm using it on a Macintosh G5 dual 2gig, mostly for Photoshop, web, and OCR. It's much faster than the SCSI version and running with a fast Mac, there's no hicups in any foreground applications while scanning at 300 dpi (the only setting I need).
It's not unsual for American Art Archives do to 50 scans in a day. The Microtek just keeps on keeping on.
My one quibble is that the Scanmaker software has a few nagging interface oddities, like not being able to just hit enter/return to start a scan. Also, it's best to overview each item before scanning as if you just scan page after page, even if each page has similiar images, the software blows out all images after the first scan. What's up with that?
If you need a workhorse that can do tabloid and works with OSX, check this unit out.
great scanner for small business pror.......2003-01-28
Microtek is a great company with a great product! I recommend this scanner for the professionals who need a larger scanner without the larger price.

Product Description
The ScanMaker 9800XL is Microtek's member of the A3 scanner family designed on the success of the ScanMaker 9600XL with greatly improved specifications and connectivity. The large 17" x 12" scanning area combined with a very high 1600 x 3200 dpi resolution covers almost all reflective scanning requirements. The improved optional transparency adapter now offers a very large 16" x 12" scan area and the maximum density of 3.7D. The scanner captures huge amounts of subtle highlight and shadow details, with accurate color values, thanks to the 48-bit CCD sensor and the inclusion of multi-sampling. The transparency adapter option also includes a set of film templates for 35mm slides, 35mm strips, medium format film and 5" x 4" film. Extra holders make this the perfect scanner for producing large contact sheets with the ability to deliver high-quality final scans too. To cover almost all connectivity requirements, three interface options are included as standard, FireWire, SCSI-2 and USB 1.1. A PCI FireWire card for Windows and cable, plus a USB cable are also included. Windows NT users can also use this scanner with the addition of a SCSI card and cable. The ScanMaker 9800XL includes a powerful software suite. Adobe Photoshop Elements, LaserSoft SilverFast Ai 5.5 (IT-8), ABBYY FineReader Sprint OCR and Ulead PhotoExplorer are all included for both MacOS and Windows. Windows users can also benefit from the ScanWizard Pro Network Scanning solution that allows several PCs to share this scanner over a local area network.
