Hardware suggestion wanted for EMR

Re: Hardware suggestion wanted for EMR

Just a reminder that you can't install the OS until you get the Raid card. You can't install first and then add the raid card later on.

Re: Scanner suggestion wanted

I have the Visioneer Strobe XP 450. When I was using the Strobe's own interface if you right clicked on the "Scan Window" in the system tray you could "supposedly" set the "time out" time. I set it for the highest value ( ? 99 minutes) . That was supposed to be that if you had 98 minutes between scans you wouldn't have to wait for the 30 second warmup. I don't think the setting actually worked. Sometimes we would have hours between scans with no warmup and sometimes a 5 min break between scans would bring on the warmup routine. Certainly annoying.



However, I use PaperPort's native scanning dialogs so I don't believe I have access to the "Power Saving settings".

I see a guy selling 7 of these on ebay for $199 USD. *NEW in box*.


Seems like a good deal.



You always need one flatbed scanner in an office. So for a smaller office having a Xerox 510 would be a good idea.

My Strobe XP 450 is a non-flatbed scanner.



I am thinking of getting a faster one for the main office and another Documate 510 for a satellite office, using this Documate 510 as a backup as well as flatbed scanning. Sanning speed is not an issue, even this 510's 10ppm is probably good enough, organizing the files and uploading to Synapse server is a tedious job.

No. For day-to-day scanning you don't need much more than a typical scanner like my Strobe XP 450. I would like one exactly the same without a warm up time.


For "mass scanning" the fancy Fujitsu's are nice.

Yes Strobe XP 450 = DocuMate 250. My scanner is not a duplex. The main use of duplex scanning is for "Mass Archiving entire large charts".

I rarely get two sided documents. I usually only get two sided documents in transfer charts where they have photocopied the chart and saved paper by duplexing.

I am reading problems ( http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/paperport/message/49170 ) with Xerox DocuMate 510 and Paperport 11.

Re: Scanner suggestion wanted

I want a scanner to perform this ONE function.

scan black and white pages ----to---> black and white DPI 200, searchable .pdf with no wait with one button press.



Finding a scanner is hard because many scanning programs don't work with all scanners. ie. it looks like PaperPort 11 is not compatible with the 510 even though it says it on some official websites.



Q: qilin can you test the 510 with PaperPort 11 ?

If it works I might get one. I need a flatbed.

Re: Scanner suggestion wanted

Xerox Documate 252 will have a scan delay though.

What version of Omnipage do you have ?

Re: Scanner suggestion wanted

yea. warmup time.

Re: Scanner suggestion wanted

I want a cheapy scanner to just do B&amp;W,200dpi,pdf searchable. No wait time. Doesn't even have to do multiple documents as far as I am concerned.

Re: Scanner suggestion wanted

Fujitsus are great.

but as I said,

knowing what you want the scanner to do, and what software it needs to work well with is the key.

more scanners (if you have the room) is better.

Re: Scanner suggestion wanted

Does it generate auto-incrementing unique file names?

Re: Scanner suggestion wanted

<table bgcolor="#cccccc" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" id="table4" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top" width="200">Additional Information</td><td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top" width="800">Output: Color/B&amp;W/Automatic color and B&amp;W detection</td></tr></tbody></table>

How does the auto color detection work ?

My need is ... I want all documents in Black and White. Pink sheets with black text when scanned on my scanner come out totally black as Paperport thinks the pink is "dark enough" to deem it as black not white. If I adjust the contrast, (to a setting of 30), the B &amp; W document looks appropriate (ie. the pink is determined to be white, not black).

Could this be done automatically with the Scan Snap ?

Re: Scanner suggestion wanted

I believe the ScanSnaps have problems with PaperPort.

here are some quotes.



Here is a good price -->

Re: Scanner suggestion wanted

I sometimes forget my goal is to be rid of PaperPort.

I only use PaperPort for scanning now, so it should be easy. I am pretty sure we don't even often view documents in PaperPort anymore. I know I don't.
