Description
This document provides an in-depth analysis of the findings from our 2008 U.S. consumer imaging end-user scanner survey, conducted in early February 2008. In compiling this study, we hoped to gain a greater understanding of the trends among consumers of images and all-in-one devices in terms of demographics, usage, feature importance, and future purchasing intentions. In addition to considering the habits and perceptions of current scanner owners, this document also provides some insight about consumers who do not currently own or use scanning devices.
