Interestingly enough, scanning in 300dpi in color or at 150dpi in grayscale did not change the scanning speed. 20ppm is when scanning in single-sided mode, double-sided scan runs at no extra cost and would yield 40ppm. During my test I was able to consistently scan twenty (letter) pages at speeds of 20 pages per minute (in 54 seconds to be exact). Most brand scanners produce images that are very decent (for an “archiving” use), so speed is often the first thing that users will seek from a scanner.
For several weeks, I did put the sheet-fed Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 to the test to see if its wicked fast 20 pages per minute (ppm) scanning would really improve my admin tasks. In my case, I scan a lot of receipts and thousands of business cards every year, so I consider those to be heavy scanning task. Where the limit is between casual and heavier scanning can vary a lot.

Most people look at scanners as a commodity that sometimes comes for free in the form of a printer/scanner combo (like my Canon MP150), but those who do serious scanning can boost their productivity simply by using a faster scanner and better document management software.
