Choosing a wide format scanner: Single documents or batch runs?
How do you work?
Scanning single documents, via batch runs, or with the scanner in constant use
Your scanner requirements will vary depending on whether you work in a production environment, or with a shared scanner used intermittently.
Production environment
If your scanner is in constant use a low energy model using LEDs will reduce your running costs.
A high speed scanner will also allow you to create scans more quickly.
Shared office scanner
If you focus on walk-up scanning, you need a scanner which turns on instantly. This can be achieved by LED lighting which has no warm-up time.
