What is the difference between a flat bed scanner and a CISwith CCDscanner?Which is better for scan books?
Answer:
Most scanners use one or the other, never both that I've ever see.
CIS stands for Contact Image Sensor.
CCD stands for Charge Coupled Device.
CIS is cheaper than CCD.
CCD is more sensitive and much more accurate.
Either will work for basic deed scanning. If you stipulation highly accurate scan for Optical Character Recognition or for image scan, stick with CCD.
CIS typically cheaper & habitually plugs into USB with no have need of for additional power.
CCD is usually significantly more expensive & requests extra power block.
I doubt you will see any difference in ceremony if you are only scan books.
(CCD is better it you are scanning motion picture negatives or slide transparancies, but you will involve a unit near a special film adaptor).
