Overview
Office teams handling onboarding, accounts payable or mailroom paper get a desktop sheetfed scanner that captures both sides in one pass. It feeds everything from carbonless copies to passports and plastic ID cards, and connects by USB or Ethernet.
Speed, a deep feeder and handling of odd media make it a workhorse for daily batch scanning. System support covers Windows desktops and servers only, with no Mac listed.
Who it's for
Accounting departments, front desks and mailrooms that digitize mixed paper every day get the most from its speed and feeder. Occasional home users will pay for capacity they never use.
Pros and cons
- Very fast duplex scanning
- Handles cards and passports
- Ethernet for shared use
- OCR and indexing tools
- No Mac support listed
- Heavier than compact scanners
Performance notes
Throughput depends on the feeder pulling mixed thicknesses without jams, which the advanced feeding technology targets. Image quality comes from Clear Image Capture, a dedicated color matching processor that cleans and corrects each page before OCR.
