Scanner Suggestions

[Capp]

We are looking to implement a document scanner for our office due to our transition to web based software. We want to keep everything digital, so a scanner is our only option.

I need something that is relatively fast, can be networked, and doesn't cost a fortune. OCR is not required either.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I've done some research but the ones I found so far are like $1600+. That's a tad outta reach at the moment if we can avoid it.

Thanks for your help.

Xerox and Canon have those, but are very expeense. Most client use a PC connected to a scanner and network that PC to allow others to use the scanner. Or remote into that PC to use it. Unless you want to spend some extra cash I would go with a Xerox network document scanner/printer/copier/fax or just the Xerox network document scanner.

The only caution to heed with the Xerox WorkCentre C2424 is that the unit is no longer sold as new.

WOW, $17,700 for one unit.....I do not fix enough computers to afford that.....

Yes, the Phaser 6128MFP $550.00 and Phaser 6180MFP $700.00 are excellent choices tipster

My choice would be the Phaser 6180MFP $700.00 - $900.00 because it appears to have better networking options

Good to know I am not the only person here who fixes (or breakfix hardware) Still the Xerox always have service contracts for their hardware, but it depends on which model. $17,700 are under contract. If not then we would step in.

Any of the Xerox would be a good deal. Price is high but still good. Xerox Production Multi-Doc readers scanners are way more expensive and use a Unix OS to run those. You get an Xerox rep dressed up run commands on the terminal and a Xerox tech to come out to get those to work should they go down.
