There is a huge selection of scanners
on the market today. It's not unreasonable to believe that selecting a scanner can
be a technological nightmare. Believe it or not, many of the scanners that are found
off the shelf at retail stores simply aren't suited for business use.
These scanners are more geared towards home use and photo scanning. The paperless
office needs a scanner that can handle large volumes of documents and process them
in a quick and easy manner.
In order to further help our customers in their search for a scanner, we've compiled
this list of the top manufacturers of scanners on the market today.
The scanners' prices vary depending on speed and duplex
capabilities. The faster scanners will fetch a higher price and
with these trusted brands, you will be paying more for a quality
scanner that will last longer.
Fujitsu Workgroup Scanners
Cannon High Speed Document Scanners
Xerox Workgroup Scanners
HP Document Management Scanners - Please keep in mind that
there are many categories of scanners on this site and not all
of them may be TWAIN compatible. The ones that we are looking at
here are the "Document Management Scanners" only.
With the
addition of our
Batch File program, TWAIN compatibility is no longer a
requirement. If you have an existing scanner that isn't TWAIN
compatible you can still import those documents into the Agency
Advantage software. Listed below are manufacturer categories
that may list non-TWAIN compatible scanners for larger
networking environments. Please keep in mind, that if a scanner
is non-TWAIN compatible then you cannot scan directly from
Agency Advantage. You will need to scan the documents to a
pre-determined location on your network or computer first, then
use our Batch File program to attach the documents to customer
folders.
Fujitsu Network Scanners
Cannon Network Scanners
Xerox Network & Department Scanners - Three of the 4 listed
on this page are also TWAIN compatible and an excellent choice
for larger offices.
The Fujitsu
ScanSnap line of scanners are not supported. They lack TWAIN
drivers and do not have features to where they would be
efficient with our program in an office environment.
Below are TWAIN
compatible scanners that we have supported recently with good
reviews, most have duplex scanning and USB connection
to the computer. Each of the scanners
below can be found on http://www.froogle.com
for various prices. Shop around and find the best deal.
