Of course, a document feeder (30 to 100 pages per minute) will work fastest, and you can often buy these on, though do be particularly careful with original records. An added bonus is that the images are scanned straighter because the upper left corner of the flatbed holds the images straight. It also reduces the amount of time the scan lamp has to go forwards and backwards. This is better for high-resolution scans because the amount of data transferred is less, and therefore can go faster over USB. This can take 10 seconds per picture.įor faster and easier scanning of one picture at a time on a flatbed using VueScanġ) Set 'Input | Media size' a bit larger than largest snapshotĢ) Put a picture on the flatbed in the upper left cornerĤ) Adjust the cropping with the mouse (if necessary)ĥ) Press the 'Enter' key (or click the 'Save' button) to save to a file The technical reason this is faster than the old-fashioned way of scanning multiple pictures is that the scan lamp doesn't have to return to the home position for each picture and then go to the start of the next picture.
