[Sophie Trist]

What is the benefit of having one of these scanners? How exactly 
do they work?

Osmond,

I would recommend the HP 8600. This is an all-in-one scanner, 
printer, faxer
and copier, and since it has a paper feed, it can do 
mass-scanning. Another
great feature of the HP 8600 printers is that you can scan a 
document and do
OCR on it all from within the built-in program for the program 
and without
using a program like Kurzweil or OpenBook.

Good luck and hope this helps,

Chris

Hi All,

The last time I got a new system was in 2005. My scanner which I 
use to scan
books for classes is about six years old and rather slow. I am 
looking to
upgrade both my system and my scanner. I am wondering what type 
of scanner
people use to do mass scanning e.g. 25-30 books a school term.

Thanks,
Osmond
