Product Description
Note:
To scan images at 2400 dpi, please use our supplied ViiScan software.
It can scan up to 1200x1200 DPI for full-size A3 documents on Windows OS.
For 2400x2400 DPI scanning using the 64-bit driver, the Windows scan driver can handle up to A3 size. Requires at least 8GB RAM (16GB recommended).
For MacOS, the VF3240 scanner software can achieve 2400 dpi for a full-size A3 document.
Regarding WIA, we currently only support scanning up to 600 dpi due to limitations imposed by Microsoft.
Note:
The A3 flatbed uses a CIS sensor that can only scan flat paper images, not three-dimensional items. Otherwise, it will lead to unclear or blurred scanning results. It is not recommended to scan clothes or CDs, acrylic sleeves, etc.
NOTE:
If your laptop does not with a disc drive, please visit our website to download the software for the scanner.
If you have any questions about installing the software or using the product, please E-Mail us with your order number and details of your problems. Our technicians will help you to solve the problems soon.

Large format is nice and it scans fast, but Image quality is poor if you are scanning printed images (magazines, brochures, etc...) It said it could handle high quality artwork images and photos and technically, it can, but the resulting scans are useless if you want to do anything with those images, be it printing or posting online. Also, none of the software works with a Mac, you have to use the built in Image Capture app.

This scanner is of very poor quality. It produces blurry areas: if your document has folds or is not perfectly flat, you risk getting a scan with blurred sections (circled in yellow in my image), making the result unusable. It produces blurry areas, even though my document is a standard, everyday document that is barely folded. This kind of issue has never happened with other scanners, yet here, even the slightest imperfection in the paper results in blurred sections, making the scan unusable.Another frustrating aspect is the design of the glass surface. Although it is positioned at the edge, a large margin prevents books from being fully scanned, which significantly limits its usefulness. In theory, this product should make it easier to scan various formats, but in practice, it turns out to be inconvenient and ineffective.In short, this scanner does not match its description at all. It fails to meet expectations and has design flaws that make it impractical for serious use. A real disappointment.

Attention à bien contrôler l'os utiliser. L'usage sous MacosX est quelque peu limiter. Beaucoup plus efficace sous Windows au niveau réglage.

Scanné 400 pages de grands album photos à peu près A3.Très bon résultat.Moins cher que de scanner dans le commerce.Il faut un peu de patience, mais pas trop.

**NOTE TO MAC USERS**You don't have to use Viisan's scanning software, which I read was awful. You do need to download the driver, but after that you can just use Apple's built-in "Image Capture" app.*****************************I do a lot of scanning, and have gone through five Epson scanners in the past decade. I can't vouch for the longevity of Viisan's unit yet, but in initial quality Viisan is superior to Epson in every way.This is despite the fact that the first time I used the lid-lift feature on the Viisan to allow scanning thicker materials (like books), the thin plastic joint snapped. Yeah, it's a low bar Epson has set. The lid still works fine, it's just a bit wobbly without the stabilizing joint.This is also despite the fact that the unit is noisy, as every review mentions. Not just noisy when it's trucking the interior parts back and forth, it hums loudly while scanning. I really don't care about the noise, personally. I deducted a star for the snapped joint only.The Good aspects are the price, the size, the speed, and the quality of the scans. When I was scanning identical material with an Epson, I always had to Auto-Tone the image in Photoshop because it'd look washed out. And even with Auto-Tone, I couldn't get the black black enough from an Epson scanner. The Viisan produces gorgeous, PERFECT scans. No post-processing needed. Even the black is perfect. I've been scanning at 1200 DPI (it allows up to 2400) color photos in half the time the Epson scanner took.In what's important to me, Viisan is heads and shoulders above Epson. If this unit lasts more than a couple years, I don't see how Epson can compete in the long run.

I am very satisfied with my Viisan 3240 large-format scanner. I have been using it with ABBYY FineReader 12.1.14 for Macintosh, on a 2015 MacBook Air / 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD running macOS Monterey 12.5 Beta.As advertised, this device is about twice as fast at scanning its entire 11 x 17 / A3-sized area, in 4 seconds, as my other one (a CanoScan LiDE 700F) is at scanning its 8.5 x 11 / A4-sized area (which is 30% shorter), both at 200 dpi. 300 dpi scanning is quite fast too — I assume 6 seconds to scan the whole area.As some other users have noted in their reviews, the Viisan VF3240 is a bit noisy, a little more so than my CanoScan. But the noise does not bother me much and it is sort of what I expect, from the scanning mechanism moving rapidly beneath the glass of the whole 17" / 42 cm length of an A3 page. Scans of pages that take up less than the entire area are correspondingly faster. The brightness of the scanner’s lamp seems good, and so far it does not appear to result in dark, blurred text near the central spine of book pages.I have not run into any problems in the short time I have owned this scanner, which I received on May 31st, 2022, so I cannot comment on any technical support issues. I have been using it to scan mostly text and not graphics, and currently have no real need to be concerned about color issues, so I cannot comment on those or other matters related to scanning photos or art. I also have only used the device with FineReader, not any bundled software or other applications. At least in FineReader, one can start a scan from the software side, without needing to press any physical buttons on the device, which seems to be an inconvenience of at least one other large-format scanner I was considering before opting for this one.At the time of purchase I had not seen the Viisan VF3240 ($450) up close, and I was considering whether to buy the VF3120 ($370) instead. But the doubled speed of the VF3240 definitely makes it worth the higher price.Overall, the VF3240 is a very impressive, fast, easy-to-use device, capable of handling large page sizes. It works well with FineReader for macOS, and I would highly recommend it to anyone with a similar setup.
