Types of scanners


There are two types of scanner you can use with Animo 2.0:

Both of the above are flat-bed scanners.

Manual-feed

These types of scanner require you to place the artwork on the scanner one sheet at a time.

They are usually scanners capable of scanning in paper sizes up to A3 in size. They are used for scanning in line artwork and artwork for backgrounds in b/w and color.

Auto-feed

These types of scanner contain a sheet feeder. This lets you scan a whole batch of drawings. While the images are scanning, you can get on with something else.

They are usually scanners capable of scanning in paper sizes up to A3 in size. They are used for scanning in line artwork and artwork for backgrounds in b/w and color. Manual-feed scanning is also possible with auto-feed scanners; indeed, you have to use manual feeding, when scanning backgrounds.
