Maybe there did someone a 9600 dpi scan :) . Maybe the tests were done under windows (which clearly was slower than the Sane driver). Anyway, in my normal use with 300 dpi scans of A4 pages I haven't seen a faster scanner till now. And with some photo scans I never got something similar like 56 s. However this scanner is out of market since a couple of years, so it won't be an option. > > I think there are many fast A4 planed scanners, but I can't understand > how fast they are > Wolfram Heider
