So, the batching will all the perfect settings took about 10 minutes past scanning, which (in the long run) isn’t that bad), but it’s not perfect. I’m going to try a fewer settings this week and see is that is quicker. I will say that the batching options are wonderful, including de-skew, background removal, croping, and "black edge removal".

If batching takes an hour, then this machine will be perfectly timed. So far I am very impressed with the batching capabilities of the software. You get a clean image without much human intervention. I’ll post examples when I can. I’m still very imp
