[access-uk] Re: scanner recommendation please!

Hi Richard.

On a single scan pass using a resolution of 600 by 600 pixels, it takes about 8 
seconds not including the time it takes to retract the scan head.  For higher 
resolutions it will obviously be a little slower, but even at maximum, your 
talking no more than 25 to 30 seconds and remember this is USB powered.

  Hi Simon.

  This isn't exactly expensive but I use this myself and I love these scanners. 
 I've just bought the latest in the range, its the Canon Lide200 USB powered 
scanner.  It has a twain driver for backward compatibility but can also work 
with software that uses WIA, has an optical resolution of 2400 by 4800 pixels 
and is really thin, so much so that you can stand it on its side for maximum 
space saving and efficiency.  It's USB powered so no mains and it has four 
buttons for performing things like scan, copy, email and so on.  This will set 
you back around 54 pounds from play.com and was the cheapest I could find at 
the time.  I don't know why your so keen to spend so much money, considering 
text scanning resolutions are rarely above 1200 by 1200 pixels.  In fact, I 
think that's Omnipage's maximum scan resolution anyway and that's a 
professional edition.

  All the best, Ibrahim

    hello list, 
    I am considering a new scanner, and am looking for something really top of 
the range, with the highest resolution possible, but can't find an easy way to 
get at that info, with out going through all the details of god only knows how 
many scanners, to find what I am looking for. 
    it should work under XP, be USB, and able to work with a scanning program, 
such as k1000. price is no object. 
    so please does anyone know of any sites, where I could easily find that 
info, such as being able to filter out all the scanners with lower resolutions, 
leaving only the higher resolution ones, or have any scanner recommendations?
