Lamont Harris, Review: Canon DR-2580C Scanner
TechnoLawyer member Edward J. Quinlan asks:
"We are a small five lawyer firm which uses a Microsoft based network, Windows XP and is trying to make more effective use of technology. We have a single page document /photo scanner from HP which reportedly causes more problems when we try to scan documents than its worth. We are looking for a reliable multi-page scanner which will scan documents and photos without the need to make formatting corrections and adjustments. In fact a major client is now requesting that we scan and electronically send documents in a format that cannot be changed so as to prevent tampering with the records. Also any recommendations concerning separate software (if any) which will make the process smoother would be welcome."
We recently purchased a Canon DR-2580C for our 4-lawyer office. It comes with a 50-sheet automatic document feeder, and will scan up to 25 sheets per minute. Duplex scanning is supported. There is an optional flat-bed scanning attachment. Without the flat-bed attachment the footprint is very small. One of the best features is that it comes bundled with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard. So far we have been very satisfied.
