The Epson Perfection 3170 Photo ($200 street) is a nicely designed unit that will appeal to users who scan regularly. Clean mac free. That's because it's the largest, heaviest, and fastest unit in our roundup—and it produced the best OCR and photo scans as well. It also accommodates an optional $200 automatic document feeder.

The Perfection 3170 provides an optical resolution of 3,200 by 6,400 ppi. The unit itself has a conventional-looking, two-tone plastic body. A heavy, curved cover has an easily removable white reflector board that exposes the transparency adapter underneath. This is the only built-in adapter in our roundup, and it's the only one that can scan both 35-mm and medium-format negatives and transparencies.

The front panel has four programmable buttons for automatic scanning functions, including E-mail, Copy, OCR, Web, Print, Business Card, File, PDF, and Application. In the rear is a USB port, a DIN connector for the transparency adapter light, and an AC adapter plug. The scanner also comes with a sliding hardware lock and a power switch.

Setup and installation are easy, automatic, and hassle-free. Epson's Smart Panel interface is logical and intuitive. The scanner automatically recognizes the type of original (text, photo, and so on) and activates the correct software for it. Users may configure the interface in the Full Auto (beginner), Home (intermediate), or Professional modes. The scanner operates quietly, efficiently, and smoothly.

Our test OCR scan was the best in the roundup, with the fewest mistakes in formatting and virtually error-free text. Our test photo scan was sharp but not quite as crisp as that of the Canon model. Colors were attractive, but there was some clipping in the shadows. Epson claims that the Perfection has a dynamic range of 3.4, which should eliminate most clipping when scanning slides and film.
