If variety is what you're looking for in a scanner, Epson is a good place to start. Epson is one of the world leaders in supplying personal scanners for home and home office applications.
Epson has some impressive features in some of their mid-sized scanners. The "tabloid-size" feature allows two pages of a magazine or a book to be scanned in a single scan.
Another powerful option is the FireWire interface card. FireWire provides enormously fast throughput and the ability to hotswap the scanner with other devices. FireWire supports up to 63 devices and installs easily.
Epson scanners support USB and SCSI connections, and offer resolution ranges of 600 to 3600 dpi. Average preview scan time is 9.6 seconds.
Check to see if the scanner you purchase fits with your operating system. Some of the listed supported operating systems are older Windows packages only.
