[Athen] RE: Current high-speed scanners

Hi all,

Were there issues that you ran into with the Canon DR-9080C and Windows 7?

I downloaded new drivers for our Canon DR-9080C for Windows 7 (x64) and quality of images scanned seems to have been maintained. The one work-around we had to incorporate for Windows 7 and our work process was to install Microsoft Office Document Imaging from Office 2003, which doesn't interfere with the MS Office 2010 we have installed.

Ah, very good point. We have had to maintain obsolete boxes to keep running our old Canon scanner, and the university really doesn't like that; if more recent Canons still require older OS versions then we may indeed need to purchase multiple brands to cover all our bases. Thanks for the reminder.

Hi all.

The major problem is finding ones that work with a modern OS. I am maintaining an XP pro box to maintain my Canon 9080. I am not willing to spend the additional bucks for a Win7 scanner because I cannot justify it in my current life.

I would not chose this as my primary production scanner, but it makes a great side scanner. Good flatbed, and also very useful with texts that need special handing. For those heavy clay based pages in the art appreciation books this is great since I can choose a top feed vs. a bottom feed.

Just some thoughts but also a good conversation.

Ron

Hi Teresa,

I've been looking into production scanners as well. I used the 9080c's at The University of Montana for years and they grew on me. The 9080c has been replaced by the 9050c which is also a workhorse production scanner. If the 9050c is too expensive the 7550c also from Canon is a great scanner as well.
I prefer the Canons because they require so little maintenance.
The Fujitsu scanners are known to be good, but they use up consumables so the overall maintenance costs are higher. (This is only what I have heard from others.)

We just ordered a 7550c here at Clark for alt. format production. Let us know what you discover.

Good luck,


Jon

Larry,

Have you had any problems with the Twain interface with Kurzweil 1000, Kurzweil 3000 and Read & write gold.

Thinking of requesting them for next year.

Greetings, all. I know this question comes up periodically, but the answers change because the technology keeps changing. Does anyone have current information/opinions on good options for high-quality, durable, high-speed duplex scanners for alt format production? We are still running on our Canon DR9080C that we've had for years, but we would like to purchase a new machine to add to our production line and serve as insurance for the day when our old Canon finally bites the dust. (The last time we had to put in a maintenance call it was down for almost a month, and I can't let that happen again.) Any suggestions on brands/models I should research are most welcome.
Thanks,
Teresa
