The Limitations

With different resolution settings that are available in our sophisticated scanners, we are limited with the extent of advanced settings that we can use. Most of these are determined by the scanning speed, which is reduced to a significant level when you opt for color scan setting (When you are opting for a high speed color scanner ask the company about the speed of scanner in color mode, most often they say 90pages/ min which is for B&W setting only). When you know about these intricacies, no one would have bought a color scanner first of all for speed scanning. When I called the CANON support about this issue, they have blamed our 4GB, 2GHz desk top that we are using. Come on..

The second limit is when you start integrating your scanned patient health records to EMR software. Most of the EMR software networks are limited by the storage capacity they provide. Since the color settings take almost 3 times the space compared to similar DPI and B&W settings, why do you want to cramp your EMR system anyway.
