[Libs-Or] Scanning and Faxing

[Dunham, Charles]

We have:


·         An Epson Perfection V600 flatbed scanner that works well enough.

·         2 Canon imageFORMULA P-208 portable scanners (this model is now superseded by the P-208II<http://www.amazon.com/Canon-imageFORMULA-Scan-tini-Personal-9704B007/dp/B00UK4835U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1450307318&sr=8-2&keywords=Canon+imageFORMULA+P-208>). These will scan a small stack of paper in duplex, which is what most of our patrons need. Better yet, they work on all of our public computers so most of our patrons don’t need to wait for the dedicated scanner computer. We’re set up to loan them out with instructions, but the scanning goes so quickly that we often walk over and facilitate the process ourselves.

I think most of the HP scanner/printers are pretty easy.  The hardest part is clicking on scan, once it is setup to communicate with your computer.

Greetings!



Our library gets frequent enough requests for scanning and/or faxing that we are planning to set up scanning/faxing options for one of our internet stations. We're looking for a scanner that is pretty self-explanatory for patrons to use without staff assistance. Is there a public scanner at your library that your patrons find easy to use?? Our IT staff have recommended an HP Scanjet 5590. Do any of you have that model? What do you think of it?



For faxing, we are limited to internet based services since we don't have a spare phone line near our internet area. Are there any fax services, free or modestly priced, that any of you have used that don't require each patron to set up an account? Again, we're looking for something that will work with minimal staff involvement.



Many thanks for any input or feedback you can offer!
