Purchasing Evaluation For A High Speed Scanner

By Chloe Grammar


The high speed scanner is becoming more of a staple office supply. These machines are capable of processing large amounts of paperwork in a single day. This is especially important for larger business that have a lot of documents that need processed on a daily basis.

Before any scanner is bought, decisions about each feature need to be made first. Doing this during the shopping process will make certain that the machine purchased is a quality product and more than capable of meeting the businesses needs. Scanners can vary greatly from one model to the next so not all will meet a company's needs. If a specific model doesn't have features a company can use, it won't have much of a purpose once in their office.

Models will have variations in their system requirements. Some models don't need anything special to operate but others need additional software programs to perform their duties. Certain types of software are expensive and this is something a company might not want to deal with.

The speed capabilities of each machine should be reviewed. Models vary in the volume of documents they are able to process. Some basic models can only handle about two thousand or so documents, mid range models can typically handle about six thousand documents and high end models can usually handle about one hundred thousand documents each day. It is important to know what capabilities will best suit a specific business before making a decision about this factor.

Resolution is just as important as the speed, when it comes to scanners. High resolution is needed for scanning items with graphics. Resolution on the lower end is more than suitable for a company who only scans text, however. Businesses dealing in things like graphic design will definitely need to invest in a machine with a high resolution. Otherwise, the quality of the scanning makes for very poor quality copies.

Evaluation of the paper feed system is also useful. Some scanners have a feed system that only accepts one sized paper while others can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of sizes. The exact needs of an individual business will assist in making a decision here. Obviously, a company that scans various sized documents will have difficulty using a scanner that is only capable of feeding one size.

Price is also a very important factor. Finding a machine that has all the features a company needs is great, unless it is way out of their price range. Different brands will have a different price tag for feature combinations. The key is finding a machine that is inexpensive enough to remain within budget, but also has many helpful features at the same time. A business needs to be willing to sacrifice some features if they are working within a tight budget.

These five buying factors should all be given equal evaluation before a final decision is made. Other factors will also need to be reviewed as well. Just taking the time to review these five will insure a good high Speed Scanner with proper capabilities will be purchased.
