Marvelous scanner for your Mac OS X system
I had my doubts going in because a newer model hadn't worked for my Mac and this one was rough to set up because I had to get on the phone with a customer service rep and make sure I understood all the settings and it was working right, but once I did, they were pretty good at walking me through the settings (even over to my computer's Preview program to make sure I get the right results), and eventually I found that the thing works even better than it lets on in the beginning.
The built in scan preview feature lets you see aroundabout what a page that you've placed on the glass is going to look like before actually creating the file. As soon as you make ANY alterations at all, it lets you see the changes reflected in the document. And the best part of all was that once you actually scan something and open the file, go up to view, and click "Actual Size", the thing gets so big that you realize the scanner picked up EVERY... LITTLE... SINGLE... DETAIL that you couldn't previously have full confidence in from the preview being like "Is it going to look like that? Is it going to show up? That edge is going to smooth out right? Do I need to do this, do that?"... NO! It's fine. So that was awesome. The Document settings work for documents. The Photo settings work for photos. The None setting works for getting the texture of the page as is. And if you still need to change something, you can open up the "inspector tool" in your Mac's "Preview" program and knock yourself out fooling with it more. And the resolution only needs to be at 300dpi for a quality document, whereas anything higher will take excess space for most ordinary documents (wouldn't have known that without customer service).
So in summary, the setup for me was a bit overkill but in the end, I got the peace of mind I was looking for for all the important documents I want archived.
If I had ONE gripe about it, it would probably be that I still can't get the printer to print the entire image to original scale, even if I do cut off the least on the margins possible around the edges of the page to get the most document printed out (which would be .15 x .15 x .15 x .57(bottom) around the edges of the page. I can get a .jpg to fit pretty well within those margins with minimal shrinkage, but the tradeoff is that the printer uses the color ink for everything, even to produce black, which wastes it. If I save as or convert to .pdf, then it wants to shrink or cut off the edges of the image to a mandatory .5 x .5 x .5 x .57(bottom) all around. So it's annoying if I want to take documents that I wish to preserve as they are, scan them, annotate on the scans, and then save THAT version as the final copy (keeping the original elsewhere). It's like "Ughl... why can't I just create an EXACT duplicate of this thing to size?"
So yeah, that's my only gripe. Not sure if it's a scanner or printer issue.

Wow it's been years overdue. Beats a draw-string any day.
I sleep in these since there's no-see-um's in the house every so often in this room in particular that will bite me if my face is exposed during sleep (or sitting here any time really). I've used a draw-string since 2009 and finally it tore so much that I had to replace it with another. This one is perfectly breathable because of the ultra-fine netting and the naturally expandable neckline that's perfect for average size necks beats the drawstring any day. God this is a face-saver. Not all of them are breathable, so make sure if used for this purpose, it says "ultra-fine". They will work, others will disappoint and make your head overheated (if they do that while sleeping, I can only imagine what happens outdoors).
