Use that scanner defualt software, simple from scanner buttom, scan to .TIFF
i think must not wia. maybe TWAIN
i need same time to processing , scanning image to computer.

I understand ONE computer to connecting ONE scanner. is normal, but if more than one, is can't?

Hi koolss,

Have no fear — I'm sure there's someone that can decipher your question.

 

oops ?

I need two or three scanner scaning image because I need scan FULL A4 SIZE, 1200dpi. FULL COLOR.
very too small korea/japan font. I try 600 dpi to input to get, it not enough. 1200dpi maybe I accept.

I use USB2.0, need waiting 6 mins. too long.

If possible same time can received input data more than ONE, is save my time.

6 mins = 1 paper
now if 2 scanner, just only 3 mins.
if 3 scanner same time processing, only 2 mins.


etc...

because I found used market , 1200dpi scanner around 30USD. is good price for me.

I known same brand, maybe unknow problem, reject more than 1 application. so I choose difference brand. (HP, Canon, Epson.)

Now, I not sure, if computer that USB 2.0 is equal service ? mean if motherboard connect 1 device, 100% Full Speeed
but if connect 2 device, 50%,50% share traffic.

if connect 3 device, 33%,33%,33% share traffice ?

You known I need what ? please!

 

What if one is USB & other parallel port [old] scanner ?

Just a thought.

 

I known if ECP/EPP port. first that device not support opc.1200dpi. and if support,
scan full a4 color , 1200dpi, need 30mins. crazy...
USB 2.0 speed I aceept. if 1394/SCSI or LAN scanner, used market need min $100USD or over.
cost is too ...

 

if upgrade to winodow 7, [what sub version (start/home/pro...]
is fixed my problem ?
