hi,
I'm looking for a scanner with document feeder which can hook up to
OmniPage on a Macintosh. We have OmniPage and a Sharp scanner (we have
colour input requirements too), but it's a rather tedious process to produce
electronic text with this apparatus. I understand most SCSI scanners work
with OmniPage, I'm requesting any positive AND negative points people have
(from EXPERIENCE) in working with OmniPage and a scanner with sheet feeder.
I had the Microtek MSII (I think that's the name) for eval last year. The
sheet feeder kept jamming. On asking the rep - the response was, yep this
is a "typical" model. Are there any other scanners I should try? Ones
with 300dpi resolution and a reasonably swift transfer (scan) rate? I am
particularly interested in ones with sheet feeders and how trouble free
they are to operate. Monochrome is fine.
Please email responses, I will summarise if anyone wants one.
Thankyou,
