    Heavy Duty desktop scanner?

    Hey guys,

    I've got a customer who has scanned over 500K pages on their KM Bizhub C-458 in only a couple of years. I'm looking to offer a tabletop scanner to them but the cost of some of them is prohibitive. I doubt the customer would go for a scanner that costs more than the used copier I sold them, so what brand/model would you recommend? And what about roller replacement on these things? I used to service the Canon scanners at one time and the rollers were pretty easy to replace.

    Thanks in advance!

      Hi OC, do they scan many A3/Letter? If not Brother ADS 4xxx series are not bad choice. Customer can still scan their large formats on Konica but volume/stress on dual scan ADF would be far less...

          Only sold a few so far but we have Avision Scanners. They do around 30-40k pages before you need to clean the rollers. They then can run another 10-20k before they actually need to be replaced.

              I also like the brother lineup - servicing is easy, too (cleaning / roller replacement).

                  i have found in the past that users have been willing to give up scan speed for the ability to be seated and able to use PC while scans go through compared to what they expect if it meant they had to stand infront of copier in case it jams so dont rule out slower scanners

                      The Canon DR-G2110 is high speed scanner. 110 ppm and holds 500 originals. They are not cheap but probably could find a used one.
