We use Adobe Acrobat Pro to scan articles for transmission via OCLC Article
Exchange and occasionally via regular email. We don't have Odyssey.

The main problem we have had with Ariel is that it unpredictably shuts down in
the middle of transmissions. Sometimes it will go all day without doing this,
but most of the time it does it intermittently but frequently all day long.

I have been looking at alternatives to Ariel off and one for the last year or
two. In regard to Ariel:

need in the way of transmission. We are a relatively small library, but our

Another indication of declining support, if that word is still valid in the
context of Ariel. If they would support and develop the product I would most
likely be willing to pay a reasonable annual license fee. But it is probably
too late now that so many libraries have stopped using Ariel.

If there is anyone left using Ariel, I have a question about doing web PDF
transmissions. I have a frequent user who says that their email address is
showing up at the bottom of the web PDF login screen with two characters'
positions swapped. We have thoroughly investigated here, and the email
We use a Fujitsu 6230 and have the same popup issues, but no problem with the
feed. The 6230 works great, is pretty fast, and will handle more pages through
the document feed at one time than the nominal top limit.

We continue to use Ariel vs. Odyssey standalone because Ariel allows us to post
articles to our web server and automatically notifies the email addressee to
that effect. This allows us to scan articles of large file size without having

We use the Fujitsu fi-6230 and are happy with it. It cost us about $1200 a

We got the scanner a couple of months ago to use with version 3.4
running on an XP machine. It is fast, quiet, and worked flawlessly
until a few days ago. Then it starting locking up whenever we tried to

After two purchases of scanners that didn't provide full Ariel 3.4
functionality, we got a Fujitsu fi-6230. So far it seems to fill the
bill. It has dither patterns 0-3, and they show in the Ariel scan
window. Cost is about $1200. It does both flatbed and ADF scanning.

I have found information on a Fujitsu web site that says that the
fi-6230 has dither patterns 0, 1, 2, and 3. This is very important to
us because the articles we scan often contain images of x-rays,
pathology, etc., and gray scale doesn't handle these as well as dither
pattern 1 does. This has b
We have a new HP Scanjet 5590 for use with Ariel 3.4. However, despite
other information to the contrary, it doesn't appear to dither, and the

might know for sure whether this scanner will actually dither and how to

We just got a Fujitsu fi-5015c scanner to use with Ariel 3.4. There is
no dither capability with the TWAIN driver. With the ISIS driver there
is only dither pattern 0. I saw no indication of this on the Ariel
compatibility list that says that this scanner will work with Ariel 3.4.
