To Scan or Not to Scan
Yesterday I was installing a new scanner for a user in my office. It was a Canon Scanner, but regrettably I forget the type. I believe it is a new model, consisting of a flatbed scanner, a multiple page scanner and a business card scanner. It has a black and silver finish and is also quite bulky and heavy.
Installing it was quite easy, the driver CD is included, and also a CD containing scanning software to use with the printer. If that was not enough they also include a CD with licensed Adobe Acrobat 9. I think it was quite good and installing the software is a breeze.
I didn’t install all the software though. The one that I did install was the Business Card software. It can recognize a business card and automatically cataloged them into the appropriate fields. Of course sometime you have to correct the scan results a bit, but overall it was a good software to install.
The documents scan results are also good. You can scan multiple documents at once either single sided or double sided, a nice feature to have. The built in scanning software is also quite good and the interface are quite easy to understand, speaking from a system support perspective though.
I will let the user use it and write about the scanner again in the future for any user feedback that I’ll receive. Hopefully it will be a positive one.
