We have had this set up at Rochester since Dec. 2005. I find it easy enough
to use, although there is a multi step set up required which isn't
difficult, but can be a PITA sometimes when time is of the essence. The
machine is great at capturing census images; also good at small areas of a
newspaper or scrapbook (like an obit); and cannot capture a page of a
newspaper at all.

At least, not in the amount of time that we have to use it. Patrons are on
their own to use it. We only have one staffer to cover the entire floor, so
we cannot sit there and handhold. If they are competent, they can use it,
but as I just said they are on their own. It did hook up OK to the networked
printing.
