Best scanner?

Post by SmileShoppe » Tue Jan 31, 2017 7:12 am

We're going paperless and looking for some scanners for the office.

What's the best overall scanner that can do multi-page scanning as well as scan documents of multiple sizes in one pass? Of course, one that can easily integrate with OpenDental (ie: has stable TWAIN drivers).

Thanks.

If you want to go paperless, consider speed when you purchase your scanner.
In 2010 when we went paperless, we started using small compact HP scanners, Keysoft keyboard scanners, etc...all these compact scanners work, but they are SLOW.
Few years ago, we switched to the HP Scanjet 5000 model L2715A. It is not a small compact scanner, but a super FAST scanner, 25 ppm , duplex, preset profiles for different types of scanning, auto detection etc... cost about $200- $250 on Ebay...Speed is what the front desk preferred.
HP Scanjet 5000 ENTERPRISE is the newest smaller model but still with speed, 25 ppm, duplex, etc .....cost about $250 - $350 on Ebay
