[Web4lib] Flatbed scanner for public use

[DeAnn M Buss]

We just leased new copiers (Canon iR3245(s) are the B&W units. Canon IRC5045(s) are the color units but lots of options out there) that allow all of the functionality you mention except Google Docs.  If a patron scans to email or flash drive it is free.  If they chose to print out a copy then they are charged per page.

Best of luck in your search.

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
