All scanners are tested at default settings under Windows XP Home on a Dell Dimension 8200 (2-GHz Pentium 4) PC with 512MB of RAM, using each scanner's bundled software. Overall rating is based on image quality, speed, ease of use, features, and support. Speeds are timed from the start of prescanning until cursor control is regained. Data based on tests designed by the PC World Test Center.
