I'm not familiar with the 2400 but I have the 1660 and have been very happy with the scanner itself. Software leaves something to be desired - the Copy feature doesn't work on WinXP. The scanner is rather noisy... Sherry -----Original Message----- From: T.

I am leaning towards the Epson Perfection 2400 Photo Scanner because of it slide and film handling abilities. What are some of the pros and cons of this scanner. Thanks, Tom

I am not using this particular scanner, but noticed your comments about its copy feature. I use the Visioneer 8100 which has a one-button copy. When I bought a new computer using XP-Home, I downloaded the Visioneer programming from its website (it includes PaperPort) and with some finagling the one-touch monitor has enabled the scanner's copy feature and it works well with direct copies to a Lexmark printer. I wasn't successful using the feature before so this was an added pleasure. I am not using the physical buttons on the scanner, instead am using the on screen "one touch monitor" features (just in case there is any similarity in programming features). You might try obtaining updated software from the vendor and that might possibly help enable the copy feature on your scanner. Good luck!
