Because scanners are capable of inputting large amounts of data in relatively short periods of time, they commonly push computer systemstothelimitsoftheircapabilities.Beforebeginningany scanning task or operation, carefully consider your system’s processing capabilities, especially processor speed, RAM, and available hard disk space. OCR processes, fax operations, and the processing of simple black & white graphics are least demanding. High resolution scanning of large images in full color creates an extreme demand for processor time and memory.
