Concerning 4.1.1 and Minolta PS 7000--A word of caution-- Though it's "tested by Minolta", I think that's only for the older version of Ariel. We have the Minolta PS7000 and it works fine (not great) with 3.4. But though we bought Ariel 4.1.1 quite a while ago, we decided NOT to implement it.
Using 4.1.1 with this scanner makes the process MORE difficult, more steps, and you can't preview what you have scanned until after the whole document is scanned. NOT an improvement at all in our opinion, but a step backward. The scanner needs a new driver to work better with 4.1.1 and no one is willing to develop that. So we'll stick with 3.4 for the foreseeable future; though a bit cumbersome, it works tolerably well.

Here is the reply I received from Infotrieve on October 6th when we were looking for a new scanner: ----------------------------------------------------- Thanks for asking. Here is a more detailed list. The scanners tested with 4.1.1 are: OpticBook 3600 - Excellent (small unit with a lot of extras) OpticBook PL806 - Great (small unit with an ADF) Minolta PS7000 (tested by Minolta) Fujitsu fi5750c - Works great! (Medium size unit & fast - Fujitsu's in general work well with Ariel) Fujitsu fi-5015c - Works great (ADF functionality requires Fujitsu software) HP ScanJet 6300c (Small unit & slower then fujitsu) I would recommend using our free trial version of Ariel 4.1.1 to test: http://www4.infotrieve.com/ariel/freetrial.asp If you have problems during testing try - *Using the manufactures dialog box *The ISIS driver vs the Twain *Scan outside of Ariel & import into the queue We also support an online community of Ariel users that share information about different products & software that may not be supported by Infotrieve, but sometimes function together with Ariel.
