## Description

A3 size Scanner

Review: awesome scanner - I'd grown frustrated by the fact that I tend to create artwork larger than our standard-sized scanner. I'd thought a large-format scanner was out of my financial reach until I discovered this baby, and I am more than pleased. The quality is excellent and it works quickly. I am thrilled with this scanner and highly recommend it.
Review: Great Flatbed A3 Scanner - 10 years and still going! - I needed an A3 Scanner for art and picked this up in 2011 for a good price, I had my doubts being there is next to no other cheap A3 scanners, it was this or pay $1000+. Well Mustek, thank you - it is still running great after 10 years and 100's of images, that's some good value, it isn't streamlined like a car and can be 'clunky' but who cares?, it's small enough to be practical and is very useful to me. The software is annoying, but I use Photoshop for the scan anyway.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm getting the error messages "power control failure" followed by "scanning carriage failed to reset." nothing i've tried works. suggestions?**
A: Did you ever find a solution?

**Q: I've installed A3 2400 driver but get 'error occured while scanning' Please help!**
A: that would be because the scanner is old, mustek no longer updates their drivers, and mustek no longer offers support.  If you cannot do root commands, write code, get into the meat of your computers operating system and do some real changes then you are not going to be able to use this scanner.  This won't work on a mac, period, no matter the year or the OS, and it takes some serious jury rigging to make it work on a windows system. Epson offers a 12 x 18 scanner/printer in the workforce series that stays a little more up to date that retails for around 220 dollars, that'd be your best bet for a home scanner of this size.

**Q: does Mustek 2400s work with Maverick? Where to find that driver?**
A: We couldn't get it to work with Lion so I doubt it works with Mavericks. Their tech support is a joke. We ended up buying this Epson All-In-One Wide format Inkjet printer, scanner, fax, and copier.  You can get it for less than $200 and Epson supports it under Mavericks.   http://www.amazon.com/Epson-WorkForce-Wireless-Wide-Format-C11CA96201/dp/B006Y7WZG0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383545993&sr=8-1&keywords=epson+large+format+all+in+one+workforce

**Q: What's the difference between mustek a3 2400s and the scanexpress 2400 pro model?**
A: any time someone asks a question I respond with the same answer, regardless of the question:  DO NOT BUY MUSTEK.  It is outdated and they don't make drivers for any new operating systems for mac or windows.  Unless you are running on a very old system do not buy this scanner it is a horror.  Epson makes some large format printers that come with the same size scanner on top that only run about 220 bucks and are much more reliable.  I didn't need the printer but it was still cheaper to buy the large format printer/scanner combo than some over priced large format scanner.  Do some digging you'll find way better options than mustek.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Flatbed A3 Scanner - 10 years and still going!
*by M***H on March 7, 2021*

I needed an A3 Scanner for art and picked this up in 2011 for a good price, I had my doubts being there is next to no other cheap A3 scanners, it was this or pay $1000+.

### ⭐ Does not work on my Snow Leopard iMac/Photoshop CS5
*by M***L on May 10, 2011*

I'm an illustrator, now drawing a comic book. I have to scan large inked drawings to manipulate them in a Snow Leopard iMac, using Photoshop CS5. I have to scan them at a high resolution (800ppi). With a standard 8.5 x 11" scanner, I have to scan drawings in parts and then assemble the parts in Photoshop -a time consuming technique. That's why I looked for this 11 x 17" scanner, in the hopes of scanning my drawings in one single step. But it didn't work. I carefully read several previous customer reviews and that allowed me to install the scanner software without problems. I checked the "Open in 32-bit mode" box in the Photoshop Get Info Box, and everything, as advised by ComixJoint in one of the reviews (very helpful) . I actually installed the software for Mac directly from the CD that comes with the scanner, as I couldn't find the downloadable version for Mac in the Mustek website. But, as I said, I could install it from the CD without major problems. Through Photoshop I usually use TWAIN to capture my scanned drawings, and TWAIN indeed recognized the scanner and opened the scanning window. I could preview the drawing and start scanning it, but that was it: the software didn't seem to be able to go any further. The scanner could never end the scanning process and a spinning icon showed up, meaning the task was not finished yet and you had to wait. So, I waited, and waited, and waited. I waited for several minutes the first time, and I thought the delay was related to the high resolution. So, I had to close Photoshop and attempted the whole process again at a lower (72 ppi) resolution, but it didn't work either. I have tried several times changing all manners of settings and resolutions, and it could never complete the task of scanning the image. Once I just left it there running and returned three hours later, just to find it was still spinning. So I gave up and returned it to Amazon. And started writing this review. Fortunately I had bought it through Amazon, so returning was easy, just a matter of clicking some buttons and printing the return tag. I'd read the stories of several customers who had bought this scanner through retailers who gave them a real hard time to release the return. Summarizing: I do not (DO NOT) advice this scanner at all. In my opinion it's a hoax: the manufacturer is trying to sell an imperfect, unpredictable, very bad quality product. Actually whoever he is, he's -in my opinion- a swindler. Don't buy it and you'll save time, patience, anger and finally money (as working time is, at least for me, money). Something else: the scanner area is smaller than 11 x 17. And the scanning lid is black, so you won't be able to scan any drawing made on tracing paper.
