[Athen] re: What high-speed scanners are you using... (Susan Kelmer)

[Trinh, Marc]

We're looking into buying the Canon DR-G1100 to replace our aging DR-9080C.  The quote I received for the scanner is $3,979 but was surprised that the extended warranty is $2,875.  Is that pretty reasonable though?  I'm waiting for another quote from a different vendor.

I *love* the Canon Image Formula line of high speed scanners. The current products in this line are the DR-G1100 and DR-G1130. (The main difference is
100 PPM vs. 130 PPM and the number of recommended daily scans.)

The one thing I would suggest is to get the extended warranty. We have hundreds of these machines in our system and they are amazingly sturdy--with one exception. Very occasionally one of the optical elements will go out so you get a black line on the page. I've only seen this in maybe 5% of the machines, but it almost always happens within the first year and is a simple repair. Without the extended warranty, though, you may need to ship the scanner off, which can be costly.

We are using:
Feed Scanner: Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500
Flatbed Scanner: Plustek OpticBook A300
If you have the funds this scanner is completely worth the cost. It will allow for scanning to PDF or word and has cut scanning time in half if not more so for us.

We are using a Canon 220P Scanfront and love it, but we need to start looking at an upgrade.  What is everyone using these days for high-speed scanning, and I really want to know about ones that OCR as they go to PDF (that's why I like the Canon so much, but it is older so I'm sure there are newer things).

We're looking to purchase a Canon DR-6010C, not one of their higher end models, but it should suit our needs.
