Bob,
We use Fujitsu scanners here almost exclusively.  We have been using
them for probably 7 years and are happy with the reliability and
performance.  We also use Kofax for scanning, but have not used VRS.  We
now have Kofax installed with a server-based scan counter which allowed
us to get rid of application keys - a huge help in terms of allowing us
to distribute the indexing and verification when it makes sense to do
so.

Subject: Looking for mid-volume scanner with flatbed capability

Looked at the archives - but no actual opinions on these machines.

This will be a centralized production scanner for the company.  The
scanner be able to scan just about anything out there.  We'll be
scanning vouchers, invoices, easements, and contracts for starters.

Anyone have any experience with these specific scanners ~
Panasonic-S7065C, Canon 7080C, and the Fujitsui 5750C with Kofax's VRS
installed?  Reliability or maintenance issues (shipping to mfg), ease of
installation, any pluses or minuses you can provide is appreciated.  No
vendors please.

What about VRS - Is VRS overrated?  Does it really save on time, reduce
size and improve quality of images?

I have ruled out B & H and Kodak.  Sales Rep showed no mid-volume
scanner for B&H.  Kodak's scanners had to attach the flatbed piece.

Any thoughts or comments?

Thanks in advance.

Bob
