Network Document Scanner

A network document scanner looks, feels and works like a regular document scanner. It differs in that a network document scanner is able to connect to the network thus allowing anyone (with permission from the administrator) to use it to scan and/or download a scanned file into their stations.

A network document scanner can be a standalone equipment (not needing to be plugged into a server or desktop computer). It also (usually) can be a scanner that is connected either to a server or to a computer in a network.

The administrator then configures it so that the network document scanner is visible to either everyone or to selected stations within the network.

This is a very economical type of scanner. The usual setup in most companies is to have a scanner for each department. This is a waste of money in that a scanner is not used that often and it just sits there taking time, space and electricity. Meaning, if a total of 10 people in 10 departments use the scanner to scan 1 file once a day, 10 scanners get to work only for say, 1 minute once a day. If this company had used a network document scanner, the single scanner then does work at least 10 minutes each day. And 1 idle scanner (for the rest of the day) consumes 10 times less electricity than 10 idle scanners.
