Is scanning with a wireless all-in-one slower than with a direct USB connection?
Question by trash1ey: Is scanning with a wireless all-in-one slower than with a direct USB connection?
I bought an hp all-in-one (printer/scanner/fac/copier) and use the ADF to scan a stack of images at a time. I’m scanning at 600dpi and it seems quite slow. I use to use my traditional flatbed scanner, which connected with USB and it seems faster…
So is wireless scanning (where it sends the scans to your pc through the air) slower than if it is connected with the supplied USB cable?

Answer by Ben
The wireless scanner uses 802.11G, which is capable of a maximum of 54Mbps (about 7 Megabytes per second). With wireless, you’ll never quite get that so figure you can get 5 Megabytes per second. A USB 2.0 connection is 486 Mbps, or about 60 Megabytes per second. So yes, USB is much faster.
