I'm in need of a document scanner for my wife's office, it will be used by multiple stations. 

 

I've been having trouble finding one with an Ethernet port.

 

Payloads can sometime number up to 50 pages, so the more capacity the better

 

Prefer brother or HP

System specs:

4790k

GTX 1050

16GB DDR3

Samsung evo SSD

a few HDD's

I would say that its better to look at AIOs meant for small offices. Those will have ethernet/wifi connectivity, can scan stack of pages fast and bigger ones have A3 plate also. I don't know if there are markets for pure document scanners anymore, and finding one isn't easy.

 

This is a while back, but couple tech-tubers reviewed this.

We've had several of f these multifunction printers, sadly we're scanning far too many documents for it to keep up. It hogs the printing and faxing.

 

I think it's time to get a dedicated document scanner.

 

FYI: this is a medical office. Lots of paperwork comes in every day.

If you can't find any scanner-scanner with ethernet, there are adapters to add that functionality. They aren't cheap, pricing was too much for just home-use when I looked at those. Something like $50 with $30 printer.

Interesting, I haven't consot a print server. Thanks the tip.

 

I could probably pull that off with one of my spare raspberry pi.
