[Web4lib] Flatbed scanner for public use

[Thomas Edelblute]

We have an Epson Perfection V500 Photo scanner attached to a computer.  This computer is not on the network, so it does not go out to the Internet, and does not have Office software for people to spend hours at perfecting their document.  It is intended to scan to a flash drive and nothing more.  People can then take their scan on that flash drive and go to a public computer with Internet and Office software.  If they need to borrow a flash drive, they can do that through the lab clerk.

Hi Everyone,

We are researching the purchase of a flatbed scanner for public use.  We would like the scanner to be a standalone unit and have the ability to send the scanned documents to
a flash, email account or Google Docs. It would be good if the scanner also had a print option. We looked at CCP Solutions standalone scanner and were very impressed
at its ease of use and compact design--the public loved it as well--but my Board wants us to do more research before purchasing anything.

If you have some names of vendors or experiences to share with me, I will summarize all info for the group.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Janet Fine
