The scan rate is proportional across the full range of resolutions supported by the scanner. Actual scan times will depend on the host system performance. Speeds quoted are for documents less than 24 inches width (60.96 cm); wider documents scan half this speed. 
2
The quoted scan accuracy is valid for media up to 0.8mm thick and may vary depending on the operating environment and the type and thickness of media. SmartLF scanners are tested using a Mylar target at 20
°C +/- 30°C, 60% +/- 10% RH with the media feed set to standard.
