A3 flatbed scanners FAQs
What types of documents can I scan with an A3 flatbed scanner?
A3 flatbed scanners can scan a wide range of documents, including:
How fast is an A3 flatbed scanner?
The speed capability of A3 scanners depends on their make and model. However, an A3 flatbed scanner generally takes between 4 to 10 seconds per scan at 300 dpi.
Higher-resolution scans may take longer.
Are A3 flatbed scanners compatible with both Windows and Mac?
Most A3 flatbed scanners support both Windows and macOS operating systems.
TWAIN and ICA drivers guarantee compatibility, enabling the scanner to interface with a wide range of devices and software. Check whether your scanner requires installing additional drivers for Mac and Windows compatibility.
Can I scan documents to cloud storage directly?
Some A3 scanner models come with built-in connectivity that allows users to scan documents directly to cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive.
It’s best to check the specifications for each A3 scanner before buying it to see whether it offers this feature.
Is a high-resolution scanner necessary for artwork or photography?
A scanner with a high dpi (dots per inch) resolution is essential for professional artists and photographers.
A dpi of 1200 or more can capture finer details and richer colours, which are necessary for archival purposes. Professionals working with photographs or prints prefer CCD technology because it captures greater depth and colour accuracy than CIS technology.
Our artwork scanners are also perfect for this reason.
