Alaris Streamlines Departmental Scanning
“The Alaris S2040 delivers an array of intelligent, automated features that can simplify and accelerate business processes that involve scanning,” said Lee Davis, Keypoint Intelligence’s Editor of Scanner/Software Evaluation. “The device offers exceptional media handling capabilities that prevent data loss while keeping information flowing seamlessly.”
Brother Portable Scanner Is Big on Features
“The Brother ADS-1700W packs a lot of features into a portable design,” Davis said. “You don’t typically find a color touchscreen, wireless connectivity, and seamless integration with many of today’s business software on a device this compact and portable—especially at a price this low.”
Canon Delivers Impeccable Performance
“The Canon imageFORMULA DR-C225W II provides workgroups with a highly reliable, easy to use scanner that doesn’t take up much space,” noted Davis. “In addition to its flawless performance during Buyers Lab’s 7,500-scan reliability test, the device created some of the smallest file sizes in its competitive group. This is particularly important for workgroups that rely on cloud services that charge a premium for storage.”
Epson Has Accountants Covered
“Epson filled a huge hole in the scanner market with the release of the WorkForce ES-500WR Accounting Edition,” said Davis. “The device is tailor-made to accelerate accounting-specific data entry tasks, so accounting professionals can spend more time working on what’s most important. Powered by ScanSmart Accounting Edition, the device can read and automatically index receipt data, and send it to QuickBooks or Excel. The WorkForce ES-500WR Accounting Edition can even learn how to better recognize vendor names based on the documents you’ve scanned in the past.”
Xerox Speeds Things Up
“The Xerox DocuMate 6710 is an innovative light-production scanner that provides businesses with a fast and efficient onramp to their digital solutions,” Davis said. “We were most impressed with the parallel scanning mode, which allows you to drive up to 10 6710 units using 10 different scan profiles from a single workstation, simultaneously.”
