Mustek A3 1200 scan speed: can anyone tell me how fast the Mustek A3 1200 scans?

Black & White, Greyscale or Color? B&W from what I remember about that maybe a little less. Color at 400dpi somewhat longer. It's a good scanner but not the fastest on the market - especially now - but it doesn't cost an arm and a leg either. I used to scan manuals with it and structured workflow so I was doing something else as it was scanning - worked pretty well that way.

Doxie One reads up to 12" per scan. It sounds like the Doxie Go would fit your needs a bit better. It scans up to 15" per scan. Regina @ Doxie Customer Care help@getdoxie.com

The scan settings range from 200 to 1200 DPI in color of B&W; scan mode. I normally use between 200 and 400 DPI and find the quality to be OK. 1200 DPI would be under 0.001" resolution.

Not quite sure, never timed it, but it will take approx a few seconds to scan a page. I hope this helps. Happy Holidays

I completely disagree with the rest of these answers. I'm using an Epson DS-40 scanner (after trying and returning a Doxie) at 1200dpi for doing character recognition on thermal printed receipts. I've noticed a huge difference in the accuracy of the OCR software. No wonder, when it's getting so much more data to work with.

I have only scanned less than a hundred and it has done a good job. It is a slow process so good luck scanning thousands of pictures.

NO!!! it can only scan letter size 8.5 " x 11", you can scan A3 but in 2 parts by folding document and scanning each half.

I have had no problems on putting pressure on the glass. The scanner worked properly. I returned the A3 1200S scanner (DOA) & purchased the A3 2400S - a little more expensive, so my observations are for the A3 2400S model. It should be OK though - same design. The only other observation I can make is that the objects must be flat - the depth of field for these type scanners, as opposed to the CCD type devices, which are at least three times as expensive, is nonexistent. But for flat objects it's just fine - and fast.

I agree to about 20 pictures per minute. Very good scanner..I actually have 2 of them. I have the one that does up to 5x7 and one that does up to 8x11. Great buy..

Just a second or two. You place 5 slides in at a time and scan one at a time. Loading takes more time than scanning but that doesn't take long. Just make sure you use a high capacity disk. They are cheap and saves time.

Patricia--you are a life-saver! Thanks so much for taking the time to put together your tutorial. I've been paying between 75 cents and $1 each to scan my Dad's slides. With over 1,500 more to go this is definitely more cost effective. I had an HP scanner that supposedly did slides but the results were nothing like what you are able to get on your 4400.

I use it for fine art scanning. It works great. But you have to open the scanning toolbox and set the scanning PPI to 600. Then you get a really, really good quality scan.

That was the easy part for me. The scan worked well, but the retrieval of it for filing is slow slow slow. Honestly, I have gone back to my Epson GT-S50 - its fast and I scan to my gmail drive so it puts it in the cloud. I do have the small NeatConnect scanner and I like that for travel, but the NeatConnect - I would save your money

I estimate 90 - 120 seconds to scan a 4 x 6 @ 600 dpi. Compare to ~25 seconds with my flatbed. Definitely not faster than a flatbed. But much easier to carry around.

Hi Lisa, No I have not but I can assure this scanner id First Class with anything A4 down to 3x3. Anything smaller the sensor does not pick up but for me it has been faultless. I have scanned about 5,000 photos in all sizes and am very happy with it. I have a Facebook page if interested mcfotonet - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mcfotonet/210127482483211?ref=hl - I still need to add more image but like everything else it's a work in progress. Good luck with your search. Michael.

Per specs it is "Scanning area: A3 11.7-in x 16.5-in (29.7cm x 42cm) ". It's a huge scanner with a freakish amount of glass area. It just wasn't going to do what I wanted. Before buying my warning would be - you must have a CD player on your computer. Don't expect ANYTHING from the company that makes it. If you're using it for only a few scans you're better off going to Kinkos and using higher quality scanners.
