How to choose scanner accessories

Choose the appropriate scanner type

Tablet scanners or hand-held scanners are usually used for home use. The advantage of wide scanners is the large width of the scanned page, but handheld scanners are more convenient to use and portable. Office and commercial operations often use stationary scanners, which are suitable for scanning larger documents.

Choose the appropriate scanner resolution

The resolution of scanners determines how detailed the scanned document will be. A resolution of 300 dpi is usually sufficient for home use, but a higher resolution such as 600 dpi or 1200 dpi may be required for commercial operations.

Choose the appropriate scanner color type

Scanners are available for scanning both black and white and color documents. Black and white scanners are the simplest and cheapest, but a color scanner is more convenient to use if you need to scan color documents.

Choose the appropriate scanner format

Scanners come in a variety of file formats such as PDF, JPEG, and PNG. PDF is a frequently used format because it preserves the document format and the text is searchable. JPEG and PNG are suitable formats if you need to scan images.

Choose the appropriate scanner connection

Schooners can be connected to a computer via USB, Ethernet or wireless Wi-Fi. A USB connection is the most popular, but a wireless Wi-Fi connection is more convenient if you need to scan documents from mobile devices.

Choose the appropriate scanner price

Scanner prices vary widely depending on scanner type, resolution, color type, format and connection. For home use you can buy a cheap scanner for a few tens of euros, but for commercial activities you need a more expensive scanner that can cost several hundreds of euros.

Familiarize yourself with the scanner's features

Some scanners offer additional features such as autofocus, automatic document feeding and printing, and access to cloud services. When choosing a scanner, consider these features and decide if you need them.

Ask a specialist for advice

If you are not sure which scanner to choose, ask a specialist for advice. A specialist will help you choose the most suitable scanner for you, taking into account your needs and budget.
