It’s Not All About The Hardware

Monday, September 21st, 2009

When purchasing a preowned scanner, make sure to check that at a minimum, a basic scanning application is included.  While most brokers focus on the hardware only; not having a scanning application can create havoc and delay implementation, thus resulting in project timelines pushed back, increased costs, etc.  When deciding on a scanner, be sure to first check and see if basic scanning software is included, then determine if the software is robust and feature rich enough to meet all your scanning requirements.  Secondly, make sure that your IT staff is knowledgeable enough for implementation, if not; ask the company you purchased the scanner from if they provide installation and training services.  Scanner Traders sells packages that enable the end user to quickly set up the scanner and start scanning without any headaches.
Scanner Traders and Imaging 411 offer products that will allow you to maximize your scanners capabilities;

Check For Cards and Cables

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Kofax and adaptec PC cards with proper cables should come with your scanner when buying refurbished. You cannot run your scanner or use any VRS options without these cards, so make sure if your buying from another source that you get the cards and cable included and know that it is not something you should pay extra for as its required. It is always included as part of the sale with scanner traders so no need to ask.
