What determines the speed at which a scanner scans a document? Is it the pc or is it the scanner itself?
Thanks

Both
I have a Panasonic KV-S1025C which is quite a fast scanner, but it went even faster when connected to a fast PC.

The Panasonic would be a bit expensive for me. I am looking for a reasonably fast reasonably priced flatbed scanner. Are there any good comparison sites?
Thanks

In my case it is the scanner and it just might be the usb connection speed limiting it

Quote from: morgan2476 I am looking for a reasonably fast reasonably priced flatbed scanner.
last time I went to buy a scanner I bought a printer/scanner for £60
What is the point of a cheap standalone scanner when all printers include one now?

In my case. the point of having a seperate printer and scanner, is SPACE... or lack of ... to be exact..
I have a flatbed scanner, which I maybe use only once or twice a year, so it is kept "in the shed", as I only have room for a printer in my desk cupboard. no space on top, so it must be a front loading type, not "gravity feed"

Another key element in scanning speed is how high you set the scanning resolution and, naturally, the size of the item you're scanning.

The Kodak scanner I was working on today scans at the rate of over 100 double sided A4 pages per minute at 300dpi. A very good scanner but I guess that might be faster than you need and a little out of your price range!

I expect we can see a few hundred books on bit-torrent in the near future!
