Hello Marius,
I dont know a scanner that can store a single frame completely. For an
A4 scan at 600 dpi with 24bit you would need about 100MB of memory.
Maybe this works for b/w scans at low resolution. But in that case I
suppose the scanner will not accept to start a new scan when the image
has not been read completely.
Sincerely
Peter
