Scanners

The scanners category covers document scanners for offices, practices and archives: compact A4 duplex models, scanners with an automatic document feeder (ADF) and CIS or CCD sensors, up to network models for high volumes and large-format scanners. They are used to digitise contracts, invoices, case files and paper documents so they can be archived and shared.

When choosing, consider the maximum paper size (A4, A3 or large format), the speed in pages per minute, duplex mode for scanning both sides in one pass, the ADF capacity and the resolution, for example 600 dpi. Check the available interfaces, such as USB 3.2, LAN or Wi-Fi, useful for sharing the scanner over a network, and the bundled archiving software. For high volumes, choose models suited to the daily workload. Brands include Canon, Fujitsu, Epson, HP and Brother.
