Another vote for the Fuji ScanSnap S1500. We have 5 of them and they totally rock - autodetect whether the pages are 2-sided or not, etc. I have thrown away many cheap scanners (and 2 HP scanners that weren't cheap), and these are fantastic. Only drawback is that the outfeed tray seems like

I'm not sure how you qualify 'fast', nor what capacity you need, but I've been happy with the very inexpensive Epson WorkForce ( I have a model 310 ) combo fax/copier/printer/scanner with ADF. It's a single side ADF, you don't mention if you need double sided or not. If so, then this would NOT

Just a thought, but does the business have any type of lease agreement with a company that services their copiers? If the timing is right they may be able to negotiate a scanner upgrade in with a renewal? We have replaced all of our scanners with multi-purpose copiers and it has worked out

I've used a couple of Canon's DR series with good results. Duplexing, color or grayscale, and they both had reliable transports. This was when I worked for a bank which digitized all documentation. Fujitsu scanners also get good recommendations. Roger Wright ___ The internet is a great way

You don't indicate a projected monthly duty cycle. I think in that price range you're going to find you're under-buying based on the actual use. If they are digitizing documents, and then performing work on those documents the cost of downtime is going to be a huge big deal. I'm going to echo the

Just got a Fujitsu snapscan s1300 (their portable model) for $280 and am very happy with it. Their desktop model is faster and runs about 400-500 - the S1500. Double-sided sheetfed scanning at something like 20ppm. Jack Kramer Computer Systems Specialist University Relations, Michigan State

A little more then you want to spend...(CDW list $1093)...but... We have been using a HP Scanjet N8420 for about 8 months and have NO issues with it. It's classed as high speed (25ppm). We have put through about 400,000+ scans on ours and it's still going strong. HTH Cameron On Wed, Feb 16,
