To setup the 1212U, we unlocked the scanner, plugged in the AC power, inserted the CD-ROM into our PC, and followed the setup wizard to install the FotoSnap software. When we connected the USB cable (included) from the scanner to the PC, the Windows Add New Hardware wizard detected the scanner and requested the scanner driver, which we located in the root directory of the CD-ROM. Restarting Windows completed the setup process.
To test the scanner, we started our favorite image editing software and requested a new scan. The FotoSnap scanner driver software started automatically and presented us with a screen from which we could preview the color photo we had placed on the scanner bed. FotoSnap also presented options for changing the resolution and for image enhancement. During the preview scan, the 1212U was whisper quiet and the scanning time was only a few seconds.
Through FotoSnap, we specified the output from our scan as a 600 dpi printer. FotoSnap made the necessary adjustments, and we clicked the Scan button for a full scan, which took 40 seconds. We rescanned the photo using a magazine filter (to eliminate moiré patterns). The second scan took 75 seconds and looked beautiful. A third scan at 75 dpi for display on a color monitor took 73 seconds. The output to both the printer and the monitor looked warm, rich, and true to the original photograph.
We also installed and ran the Caere OmniPage LE software. Scanning a one-page text sample took 17 seconds plus another 5 seconds for OCR translation. We opened the translated document in Microsoft Word and found a few typographical and formatting errors, which is a common result even from high-end OCR software.
Overall, we were pleased with the SnapScan's performance. And you won't find a more delightful-looking scanner than the blue-green SnapScan 1212U.

Customer Reviews of Agfa SnapScan 1212U Color Flatbed Scanner (Blue)
Great Scanner At A Low Price I thought I'd write this review as a counter punch to those who wrote bad reviews about the scanner. I purchased mine when I bought my first iMac back in 1998. Here it is 2005 and the scanner is still working as good as it did from day one. I have used it on every Macintosh I have purchased since my original iMac and it has worked flawlessly under Mac OS 9 all the way up to Mac OS X v10.3.9. I am finally replacing it because I bought an all in one printer (printer/scanner/copier) to replace a printer that quit on me today. But the scanner will be given to someone who can appreciate its ease of use and great quality scans. I was looking for a source of information on the scanner so I could send it to the person I want to give the scanner to and this link came up first in my Google search. Perhaps people who are using Windows are having issues with the scanner but this scanner works great with a Mac.
Prints only small.
I have the AGFA 1212U, and it has worked very well until the other day when it will print only one size (small). The only way I can get a different size is to send it through the E-Mail back to my self. Could you give me a hint as to what I am doing wrong? I have tried every thing I know.
I love this scanner!
I've had mine for over a year now and one similar to it before. It's very easy to operate and the scans come out great. It's also very quite and did I mention cheap? Buy this scanner!!
