What Scanner!!!

[heyskull]

I need a new scanner either A4 or A3.
It has to be faster than my current HP scanjet 2400!!!
And either network or USB connections.
The cheaper the better as money is tight at the moment.

My Canon MP240 printer scans and copies and I paid 29 bucks for it.

HA! I've got the Canon MP250 and I only paid $28 for it. It's 10 better and $1 less!

Seriously, I disconnected a very expensive professional scanner and replaced it with the Canon. Technology has pushed scanners into two categories....really cheap and really expensive. Really cheap works really well.

I certainly don't want another printer/scanner.
I just want a scanner on its own.

Doh!! (hangs head and shuffles off)

How about a Fujitsu fi6800? It will scan 130 pages per minute and doesn't have a printer attached.

I could sell you the scanner part... I never use it anyway. I use my bigass Canon camera to get images/documents into my computer now.

I assume you're not scanning your butt... but just what are you scanning?

I use a Visioneer One Touch USB. Works great with Flexisign. You can scan as a color or black and white pdf, also many settings for resolution.

I paid about $80 bucks for it at Office Max about 3 years ago, I'm sure the technology is better now and prices have dropped.

My wife has a Lexmark scanner, printer, and copier. The scanner options on her machine are almost zero. So if you're scanning for sign work I would go for a dedicated scanner.

Epson Perfection V30 here ... very happy with it!

It is normally $80 at www.frys.com ... but was on sale for $39 at the time.

Either of these should suffice.

I have a Visioneer One Touch USB Ibought as a closeout from Office Max for $19. It's 1200 dpi and is 8 years old and works great and is fast.
I also have an all in one Epson NX615 I got on sale for $59.00 but not as fast or ease of use as the "old cheap" Visioneer. The Epson NX I just use as a copier and a printer for office stuff.
