3200C slow scanning speed
Scanning a full page takes approximately 55 seconds on my older Compaq 300 Mhz. Just bought an HP9694 750 Mhz and scan time is almost 4 minutes/page. The light bar indexes forward about an inch an back about a half inch at a time instead of one continuous scan of the page. Any ideas?
Reboot PC. on first blue screen hit "F1". This should get into the BIOS. Right arrow across to "advanced" then arrow down to "I/O device config" and hit enter. Arrow down to "Parallel Port Mode", we need to change this to EPP. to do that use the + or - keys on the keypad. Once it is "EPP" hit escape key once then F10 key. The computer will now reboot and your scanner should work a little faster. Also lower your dpi settings. Hope this helps a bit
