When my old scanner broke, I went out looking for a reasonably priced scanner that delivers good quality scans.
The scanner requires a parallel port, so that you plug it into the port that your ptinter would normally be plugged into. But don't worry you can still use your printer, the scanner has two ports in the back of it, one to the PC and then one to your printer. It is also easy to install and it has a very clear instruction book that expains everything easly. Even for a non-computer literate person, it shouldn't be too hard.
All though not the faster of all scanners, it still scans at an average rate. Of course what you are scanning effects the time, and also at what resolution you are scanning at. Obviously the bigger the picture and the higher the resolution, the longer the image takes to scan. I normally scan at 600 DPI (dots per Inch) at compared to other scans, scanned at over 750 DPI, the scan looks very good.
This scanner is an average scanner, and there are advantages of this, the price is extremely reasonable, and cost around £100. It also produces quality scans.
This scanner is a very good scanner and will do the job you want. It gives great scans, but at a slow speed.
