Title: Looking for desk scanners
Post by: Jeff Golas on August 18, 2015, 10:15:45 AM
Any recommendation on desk scanners? Not looking for $1000s of dollar ones, just small/basic sheetfed scanners with good driver software for accounting purposes (scanning to Epic).

When I bought desk scanners, I usually bought Fujitsu. They are reliable. I have some that are 5+ years old and still going.

I have a Fujitsu that is at least 10 years old and still works very well.

We had Fujitsu fi4120c which worked fine but it is not compatible with Windows 7 - no drivers were available to make it compatible.  If I remember correctly it was expensive at the time.

We are getting good service from Epson GT-S50's.  In fact I like them better than the Canon's we were using at the agency.

All of my Canon 2080 and 2050 scanners are at least 10 years old, and some are probably 20 years old.  All are working just fine.  I buy them used off from EBay now.  Just make sure to get the USB models and you'll be fine.  They are real work horses.

We've been satisfied with some HP desktop multi-function printers, actually.  Very inexpensive.  MFP127fn.  Paid $99 for the last one.
