BUYING GUIDES
1. Type of Scanner: There are flatbed scanners, sheet-fed scanners, and portable scanners. Flatbed scanners are versatile and great for delicate materials like photos or historical documents. Sheet-fed scanners are excellent for high-volume document scanning, and portable scanners are perfect for on-the-go scanning needs.
2. Scan Quality: The scan quality is determined by the scanner’s DPI (dots per inch). A higher DPI will give you more detailed scans. A scanner with a DPI of 600 would generally be sufficient for most tasks, but if you plan on scanning images or detailed documents, you might want a scanner that supports a higher DPI.
3. Speed: The speed of the scanner is typically measured in pages per minute (PPM). If you plan on scanning large amounts of documents at a time, a higher PPM will help you complete your tasks quicker.
4. Duplex Scanning: Duplex scanning means the scanner can scan both sides of a page at once. If you often deal with double-sided documents, consider a scanner with this feature.
5. Automatic Document Feeder (ADF): An ADF allows you to scan multiple pages at once without needing to manually insert each page. This feature can be a real time-saver if you’re scanning large documents.
6. Connectivity: USB is the most common connection type, but some scanners also offer Wi-Fi for wireless scanning. Some models might also have Ethernet ports for wired network connections.
7. Software: The bundled software can significantly affect your scanning experience. Some software offers advanced features like OCR (Optical Character Recognition), which can convert scanned text into editable text.
8. Size and Portability: If you have limited desk space or need to travel with your scanner, consider the size and weight of the device.
9. Price: Scanners can range from around $50 to several hundred dollars, depending on their features and capabilities. Determine your budget by considering your scanning needs and the features you require.
10. Brand: Consider the reputation of the brand and read customer reviews to ensure the product’s reliability and performance. Well-known brands in this market include Canon, Epson, Fujitsu, and Brother.
By considering these factors and understanding your scanning needs, you can find a document scanner that suits your requirements and budget. Happy shopping!
