mouse, and much more. The
Smart Label Printer Pro is
smart: it will print postal codes
in formats used in foreign
countries.
Not only can you print text,
but also dingbats and graphics.
This can really spice up your
notebook labels, container
storage labels, or whatever.
Being a Windows-environment
product, the SLP Pro can
capture and import addresses
from other products, which can
prove to be a quite convenient
time-saver. This capture feature
will allow you also to capture a
scanned company logo to
include on your labels. This
produces a really professional
looking label.
The SLP Pro comes with a
attractively produced, logically
structured, clearly written Vser
Ciuide. There is also limited free
technical support that is
courteous and helpful. I did
have to use technical support a
couple of times as I set up my
SLP Pro. This was because of
my modem competing for my
single serial port. The problem
was easily solved, though. The
problem was not with my SLP
Pro, but with my own system
configuration.
Just when I thought I had all
the computer-related products I
really need, a real gem is
produced that increases my
office productivity and reduces
my frustration. Does anyone
want to buy a used typewriterl I
might even throw in a pen and
pencil set I no longer use.
Big Office Convenience,
Small Office Affordability
PaperPort Vx by Visioneer
Communications. A single
sheet, portable scanner, copier,
and FAX. For information
check your local computer or
office supply store, or call: (BOO)
767-7007. Minimum system
requirements: IBM compatible
PC with 3B6; Windows 3.1; B
MB RAM; B MB free hard
disk space; an available serial
port (adapter can allow it to run
on a parallel port). If you use it
as a FAX, you will need a fax
modem and software.
My wife is not easily
impressed with computer
products; she hears me talk
about them too much. But even
she was impressed when I
demonstrated the PaperPort Vx
to her. I believe you will be,
too.
The PaperPort Vx is a petite,
qUiet, automatic single sheet
scanner that is worth its weight
in gold. Second only to my
computer itself, this product has
moved to the top of my list of
essential office products. In
essence, this 12.25 wide x 2.5
deep x 3.25 high marvel is a
scanner, FAX, and copier
(when used in tandem with
your printer) that can sit
between your keyboard and
monitor!
Visioneer is the pioneer in
this category of portable
sheet-fed scanners. And it has
won more trade and business'
awards than any of its
competitors. As I reviewed the
PaperPort Vx I quickly found
out why.
Importing paper into your
computer has never been easier.
Not only does the software that
comes with it load effortlessly,
but it even searches your
computer to find compatible
programs. Then it generates
icons for them at the bottom of
the your screen, so they can be
used in conjunction with the
PaperPort Vx. What is more, it
doesn't even have an on/off
switch! Once it sets itself up, all
you have to do is place a sheet
of paper into the front loading
slot and the PaperPort Vx tums
itself on, launches its software
program, scans the paper, and
presents it on screen all in just
around six seconds.
Now you can take old
studies, sermons, bulletins, and
presentations; or magazine and
newspaper articles, or letters
and recipes" whatever!" and
convert them to an editable
computer file available to your
favorite wordprocessor or
database. And this at a fraction
of the cost of the more bulky
desktop scanners! The
PaperPort Vx will handle paper
and card stock from as small as
a business card to as large as B.5
x30.
If you have photographs or
logos or graphics you would like
to use in producing educational
materials, simply insert the item
in the PaperPort Vx slot, and
watch it go to work. It not only,
turns itself on, but having
automatically identified your
word processing, drawing,
database, spreadsheet,
non-PaperPort Vx OCR
programs, FAX, contact
managers, and other such
programs, you have
drag-and-drop access to them.
Jannary, 1997 '" THE COUNSEL of Chalcedon '" 17,
For instance, I can click
the mouse on the scanned
photo and drag it to the
bottom of the screen onto
the icon representing my
WordPerfect for
Windows program.
When I let go of the
mouse button, PaperPort
Vx automatically loads
WordPerfect and places
the photo on screen in it.
(You may have to tell
PaperPort Vx which
graphics fonnat your
program can best use, but
that, too, is only a click
away.)
Scanned photos are
easily edited. For example,
you can drag the scanned
photo onto your
Windows Paintbrush
application (which comes
standard with Windows),
PaperPort Vx will
automatically launch
Paintbrush, then place
your photo on screen with
all the drawing tools
ready to touch it up.
With special, easily
accessible tools in
PaperPort Vx you can
crop photos or graphics
images, clean up dots
from old degraded FAX
pages, remove extraneous
infonnation, and soforth.
The resulting image will
be as clear as the Original
document. The file
program built into the
software makes it a snap
to store and then later
retrieve your scanned files.
With your purchase of
PaperPort Vx you will also
receive two software programs:
You can then send the
refurbished data to your printer
so that your printer serves as a
full-featured copier. PaperPort
Vx is coming dangerously close
to putting copier and FAX
manufacturers out of business.
CardScan SE, a business card
scanner that builds a database of
infonnation from business
cards. This can be an extremely
helpful program for managing
your contacts. PictureWorks
Copier. This program takes
scanned infonnation from
PaperPort Vx and allows you to
enlarge, reduce, adjust
brightness and contrast, then
add headers, footers, and page
numbers to the infonnation.
.. There is too much high tech
convenience in this affordable
little package to highlight in one
review. The only way it could
be easier would be if it would
unwrap itself from the box!
