Do you need the information converted from paper to an electronic version that you can open and view on your computer monitor? A desktop scanner should be an integral part of office equipment. What is it and what is its purpose? When is it used and what cheap types are there in the OK Office online store catalog?
What are desktop scanners?
These are devices that have a special place in the arrangement and layout of the office space. They are usually larger in size and weight, but are more functional and productive than their miniature and portable counterparts. They withstand a higher load and perform more functions in a short time.
What is the purpose and how is a desktop scanner used?
In the most common and used types of tablets, the cover to detect the working glass surface is located on top. After opening it, place the sheet with the contents down and close the lid. When starting the desktop scanner from the special program on the computer, the working mechanisms are activated. The sheet along its entire length is illuminated by a lamp. The content is reflected through the mirrors and directed to a special converter receiving data on shape, color and other parameters. Thus, everything on the sheet is transformed into an electronic version.
The finished scanned document is in the form of a file that you can copy, move, upload, send over the Internet, etc.
What types are there in the OK Office catalog?
Among the most common and preferred types of desktop scanners are:
- tablets – with their flat design and large upper scanning surface, these devices are designed to resemble a tabletop tablet, hence their name;
- streaming – have input and output to feed, traverse and exit pages, like a stream or conveyor. Because of this, they are also called streaming or streaming.
On the site you will find desktop scanners of various sizes, designs, functions and prices. Which one will be the most suitable for you? Consider the size and speed of work you need.
How do you decide which one to order?
Resolution is among the leading parameters. This is the number of pixels per inch and is measured in dpi. For documents, 600x600 dpi is sufficient. When scanning images, you can also benefit from 1200x1200 to 2400x2400 dpi.
Scanning speed is important in busy offices. It roughly varies between 10 pages per minute or 6 seconds per sheet. If you need great speed, bet on flow models.
