Frequently asked questions
How fast do I need a scanner?
Occasional scanning suits a basic model, while high-volume offices benefit from a fast feeder. Pages-per-minute ratings assume ideal conditions.
Flatbed or sheet-fed?
Flatbeds handle books and fragile pages, while sheet-fed scanners process stacks quickly. Some offices use both.
