Key Features
Different scanners use different interfaces (basically wire jacks and connections) to connect to other devices, such as your computer. Some interfaces are able to transmit data faster than others - but the most important factor is making sure the interface of the scanner matches that of the device you want to use it with.

Platform is a term synonym for Operating System (e.g., Windows or Macintosh). It is important that your scanner match the operating system of the computer you intend to use it with.

Color depth is also known as "bit depth". This is the number of bits used to represent each pixel. The greater the bit depth, the more colors that can be seen in the image. Bit depths of 24 (equal to about 16 million colors) and higher are considered especially high. 8-bit color is 256 colors, and 16-bit color represents about 65,000 colors. While 8 is probably low for the average consumer, 24 is probably plenty.

Technical Features
Form Factor describes the physical attributes and intended use for your printer. Desktop scanners are the most standard type of scanner, and stationary scanners are similar. There are also portable scanners available that are often much smaller than other scanners, and are easier for use outside of an office. Plug-in and handheld models are specialty models used by specific industries.
