Visioneer never states the scanning speed of this scanner. I test it once scanning 4"x6" photo at 300dpi (color). 12 sec to see the preview, and 22 sec to finish scanning and date transfering.
But this is a cheap scanner equipped with USB 1.1, what do you expect.For your info., ScanMaker 5900 with USB 2.0 claims in their spec. that its scanning speed is 18 sec for 4"x6" photo (color) at 300dpi, and 30 sec at 600 dpi. If you do not see stated scanning speed in a scanner's spec., it is safe to assume the measurement is not a proud number. Any guy from Visioneer wants to defend their products? For guys interesting in OCR, I tested it once. The bundled software can recog characters at 99% correct rate in a second. But the page format is not up to my expectation. It miss-read O(Oh!) as 0(zero). I just bought it, so I will play more with it and get more feeling about it. I am a little concerned about its MTBF, becuase its cold fluo. lamp is always on when its power is on. And the "rubber" belt to move the scanning head? I may tell you when it breaks. |
