This scans a 400dpi text page in about 3 minutes over a sired enet connection to a Mac. What scan speed should I expect?

I have the printer but use a PC, not a Mac. That scan speed seems extraordinarily slow. My page scans take 30 seconds, if that long. I have a cable connection between the printer and my router.

I don't quite understand the question -- do you mean what scan speed for a photo? I have an iMac and I don't know exact speed of scanning, but it seems to scan photos in under 3 minutes. I don't know if this helps at all.

I never timed anything I scanned. Nothing, documents or photos took more than 20 sec. Hope that helps.

I do not do much scanning and I have never timed it. I would think it would be about the same. the only thing I can tell you for sure is that the ink does not expire and lasts a very long time. Does every thing great. Brother is the best printer. I have tried different brands. I have purchased 300 or so when I was working and most of them ran almost constantly for years.

I scan using an USB connection and it takes about 5-10 seconds at 400 dpi in B&W; mode in WinXP. I've never tried scanning over ethernet though.

Yes; it actually takes *three* passes. I tried it out in a local store. It scans the first side, then turns it over and scans the second. Then it turns it over a second time, taking a third pass so that it comes out the same orientation it would have if you were just scanning one side. Presumably, this final pass can be at the full speed, but it does take (waste?) some time. I wish they'd put in a true two-sided scanner. I really like the Epson print quality, but the Brother equivalents offer both one-pass duplex scanning and 11x17 printing which is tempting.

I used it only a few times but I didn't find it taking too long to render. I didn't time it but it was about the same time period that other scanners I have take.

Thanks for the info...I just went ahead and returned it...SMART is way off and it failed read test.

Just a few seconds per page. I have been impressed with the speed of ths machine.

It is problematic on a Mac - Mac OSX 10.6 - quite a struggle for me to get it to work. Have not yet set up fax.One mountain at a time. It is somewhat "gelded" from the Windows features. Not all are available to the Mac user. Sure wish Canon would just come out and clearly (and up front) explain that. Buyer beware is still a caveat to to remember.Scanning one sided page at the breakneck speed of about 35 seconds per page. Slow as molasses on a winter's day. Each page was skewed. The "grabber" must not be in sync.Less and less pleased with this unit. It is problematic on a Mac - Mac OSX 10.6 - quite a struggle for me to get it to work.

No degradation in speed when sent to thumb drive in onboard port, slight delay (1-2 secs) when scan sent via wireless to LAN-based USB HD.

Yes, Epson's recommendation is correct. Double-clicking the scanner in the print & scan section of system preferences gives you Apple's rudimentary scanning capability. I highly recommend a third-party scanning program like VueScan.

Quick Scan is quick,maybe 5 seconds. At 7200dpi highest resolution it can take 5 minutes. At 3200dpi its maybe 2couple minutes. I haven't actually timed it. I'm pleased with the results I'm getting. A good value.

If the paper is flat without wrinkles it will scan very fast with a steady hand. I usually scan a 8 X 11 copy in about 6 are 7 seconds.

Using Disk Speed Test my results are as follows: 109 Write and 106 Read on a Mac partitioned to HSF+. Hope this helps.

it depends on the resolution you set the scanner at: a 300dpi color image, 3"x3" would be about 4-5 Mb

I have this scanner. It only scans on one side. I never installed the software that came with it because it was immediately recognized by my mac. It may have software that assists with the page ordering but I'm sure you'd have to run the document through twice. I'd google it to see if you can get the manual online. Either that or see if there is some freeware to assist with the page ordering.

Sure, no problem. I usually scan at 300 dpi but I think it can even go higher. Saves as a JPEG or whatever you want!

I'm sorry I can't speak for Mac I am a PC user. The scanner works great BTW.

Reads @ 19.5 Mb/s. Have not performed write test. Mostly use it for RasPi OS. Works well enough for that. Hope this helps.

it depends on the resolution you want to scan - if you chose 1 before the best, it would scan about 4 photos per minute. they don't have to be the same size; the tray only takes about 10 photos / pages at a time though - otherwise the fujitsu S1500 may be a better choice (double the price...)
