Why is my Kodak I1420 - Document running slow?
- P
  Patrick OlsonAug 20, 2025
  The Kodak Scanner is designed for USB 2.0, but it can function with USB 1.1. If you're using USB 1.1, upgrading to USB 2.0 may improve the speed. Also, certain features in the ISIS Driver or TWAIN Datasource, such as Streak Filter, Hole Fill, Sharpening, or Auto Rotate, can reduce scanning speed if enabled. Your PC also may not meet the minimum requirements for the scanner.
