[sane-devel] A very fast scanner supported by SANE (maybe Epson GT2500?)
Hi, Avision has special book scanners, that have a zero edge / book edge feature, which mean one side of the scanner is specially formed to press a book on: http://www.proscan.com.au/avision/FB6080E.htm and are supported by my Avision backend. Yours, Ren?

Alex, I have a GT-2500 here on my desk. It's a pretty solid office machine working reliably with the iscan and the xsane frontend. However, speed is slow with the default settings so one has to make sure that the speed button is activated. Some features like the ADF-duplex scanning aren't working with the graphical frontends but just from the commandline (scanadf). As to the scanning speed: 27 PPM seems to me to be the usual advertisement ballyhoo, anyway the GT-2500 makes in b/w scanning with 300 dpi a page in roughly 4 seconds giving 15 PPM. However the GT-2500 comes with an ADF-unit, and if you don't need it you would have to pay for something useless. Although the GT-2500 is quite inexpensive compared to other machines of its class and quality its price is clearly beyond the normal customer's budget (and the ADF-unit makes pretty a portion of it). So you may look for a pure flatbed scanner, Epson scanners are in any case a good choice if speed is the criterion.

Speed is somewhat slower in ADF. Yes, if you put your book on the scanner glass, it takes more or less 4 seconds to scan the page.

Is the speed needed to scan an A4 page with the ADF equal to the speed needed to scan an A4 page without the ADF ? (I ask this because on the Epson website speeds are given using ADF and I suspect the GT2500 to be very fast with ADF but slower without...). If I put my book on the scanner glass, it would take 4 seconds to scan the page, right ?
