Scanners

In our organization, we are running a document imaging product that uses High Speed Auto Feed scanners to create and publish documentation to support the business needs for each of our customers.

Yesterday, I had a meeting to discuss how to test these for a future upgrade (all future upgrades) of the document management software. Today, I have one of my co-workers diligently working to see if we can use our big network Canon Multi-Function Devices (Canon 3570 Printer / Scanner / Copier) to perform testing as needed.

If this is successful, hey, we can avoid buying a device used a couple of times a year for testing or, more likely, a device we buy that somehow gets worked in for production use and then unavailable when necessary for testing upgrades in the future ...

Now realize, I do understand that by opening the door to using our high end multi function devices, we may end up with those being used when there is a back log of things to scan and process. If this happens, we will have to enforce that this will need to be scheduled (if nothing else)...

Details to follow.
