| Kixzo is designed to work with TWAIN compatible drivers. To determine if your scanner's driver is TWAIN compatible check your users manual or call us at 1-800-291-7129 with the make and model number and we will find out for you. |
| |
| Here are some general points to consider when purchasing your scanner: |
| |
| 1. TWAIN compatible scanner |
| |
| 2. Determine your scanning needs : |
| a. Are you scanning double sided documents? If double sided documents then a DUPLEX scanner is needed, if not then a SIMPLEX will work. Duplex is also capable of SIMPLEX. |
| b. Multi-paged and quantity? If you plan on a large amount of scanning, then an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is critical, versus a flatbed without an ADF. |
| |
|
| 3. Need a Universal Serial Bus (USB ) , Parallel Port Interface (PPI) or Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)? SSCI are generally more expensive than USB or PPI. In our offices our scanners are USB. |
| |
| 4. Scanning clarity and color. Do you need enhance clarity in the images scanned? What about color? If so then a scanner that allows you to change the resolution from 75x75 to 600x600 or higher is important as well as the brightness, contrast and image color. |
| |
| 5. Multifunctionality (printer, scanner, copier). Do you want a 3 in 1 or just a scanner alone? |
| |
| 6. Price |
