Scanners and Support		-	May 2006

Which scanners work with Kurzweil 1000 and Kurzweil 3000 Windows Products (Current and Discontinued scanners)?  The following table contains the results of scanners we have tested in-house.  See the last page of this document for a list of scanners that do NOT work.

We highly recommend any Epson Scanners with the Kurzweil 1000 and 3000 Windows product lines. These scanners are the most consistent with their scanner driver and being able to control the Brightness settings.

Notes:
*	These scanners may not the ability of the system to have smooth, uninterrupted speech at the same time the user is scanning.  On the denoted scanners, speech was stuttered (and in some cases non-existent) while a scan was in progress.  Also, please be aware that this is not a thorough and complete list. It is merely a list of scanners that we have tested in-house.  If you have experience with other scanners, please let us know.
  
**	This scanner works in the Kurzweil 3000 application, but for color scanning should only be done with one-pass scanning.
