Hi Amber, I think what is happening is you need to change the time between scans to the given time for your scanner. Changing the time between scans won't make the scanner scan any faster than it is able to. For example my Canon rd2080C will scan a page every 6 seconds. IF I set the software to every 2 seconds it will try to keep up for a while but seems to error out after a short while.

I have it set to re-scan after one second but it seems as if the scanner is taking much longer to scan. Does anyone have any tips on why it is taking so long to scan another image, even though I tell it to do it continuously?
