[comp.sys.mac.misc] Good B/W scanners

whooper@oakhill.sps.mot.com (William Hooper) (02/14/91)

I'm sorry if this was just discussed and I missed it, but I was 
wondering if anyone could recommend a good B/W scanner for the
Mac that they have used.  My wife needs to choose one for her
workplace, and they all have Mac +'s, SE's and Classics, so 
don't need greyscale or color features. 

Also, if you have used a scanner you like, how much memory
do scanned documents need (per page)?  All of the machines
have 1Mb, but they are willing to upgrade if they need more
memory to use scanning well.  I think they may want switchable
resolution (100-400 dpi is one I have seen).  Is this useful?
Does anyone ever use low resolution to save memory space?

Thanks in advance for any advice you have to offer.  If you
want to post replies, I will read this group for at least
a few days, so I won't miss it (in other words, don't feel
you have to send e-mail).
