Scanning speeds are lower if your computer's standard USB
interface is USB Full-Speed (equal to USB 1.1.)
The USB cable you are using should be the one originally included
with the scanner.
If the CPU, memory, interface card, and other specifications do not
satisfy the installation requirements, the scanning speed may be
greatly reduced and transmission may take a long time.
Even if the computer satisfies the recommended specifications, the
scanning speed may vary, depending on the specified scan settings.
