No Need to Duplicate your Work with a Duplex Scanner

Scanning hundreds of papers can be quite time consuming. You have to insert the documents into the scanner each and every time, and if they’re double-sided, it’s twice the work. Just imagine if that’s only a portion of the work that you have to. It won’t leave you any time to finish the rest of your duties; that is, unless your office has a duplex scanner.

The duplex scanner is truly an amazing piece of equipment. This device can scan in half the time of a regular, non-duplex scanner. Here’s how it works. You simply insert the double-sided document into the scanner and within seconds, both sides are uploaded to your computer within a matter of seconds. It achieves this amazing feat by using optical character recognition (OCR) technology, which digitizes both data and images from a hard piece of document. It then takes this digitized data and images (through the use of its bundled software) and uploads it to whichever application you choose, which can then be saved to any type of file extension.

Just imagine how much time a duplex scanner can save you in normal workweek. Let’s say that you’re working in a high-pressure lawyer’s office and you have 10 different legal briefs to upload and send to your boss, all within a couple of hours. With a normal scanner, it might take you almost the whole day to complete the job. With a duplex scanner, however, your workload is cut in half. You would simply need to insert the documents one time only into the scanner, and before you realize it, your 10 different legal briefs are ready to be emailed to your boss.

Not only is the duplex scanner a true time-saver, it also takes up hardly any space in the office; its dimensions are no larger than a three-ring hole puncher. It’s also so lightweight that it can be taken from room to room, so that more than one person could use it. And since it has its own power source (needs a simple USB cable to be connected to the computer), it can literally be taken to just about anywhere in the office setting. In fact, it’s so small and lightweight that it can easily fit in a computer briefcase if you need to scan and upload additional legal briefs at your home.

Scan documents in half the time with a duplex scanner. It scans both sides of documents simultaneously.
