Is there a portable scanner anyone can recommend to be used to scan docs after a RE signing? All the commercial places around me charge anywhere from $0.45-0.75/page. By the time I run back to the office to scan because these companies want the scan within an hour of the appt., and then go to FedEx, I could have taken another job. A scanner that could deal with approx. 100 pages?
I have a fuji scansnap ix500 and it scans 34 pages a minute. Best I have ever owned and I 've never had a jam. Worth every penny!
I recently bought a ScanSnap 1 X 1 300. Made by Ricoh. Scans to my phone and my Chromebook. Very reasonable. I don’t have enough experience with it yet to give it 5 stars. But I think it will happen! Very light and has a lot of versatility. Very excited. J.
You could try telling hiring parties the scan is delayed until you’re at the home office in the evening and shipping is the next day.
I do it whenever it applies and don’t get a lot of push back. The only time I don’t do it is a title company requiring same day ship, but the title companies I deal with know it better be early morning to get same day. Seller packages are usually small enough I use Adobe scan on my phone at FedEx or UPS and ship right after it’s scanned.
Communicate your parameters when you see the request for scan or shipping. I find clear communication on what you can and can’t do by what time avoids issues. I cover a large territory and won’t run back and forth to scan from my office. Don’t be afraid to say you can’t scan until the evening. Lots of services know that’s the case. No one can require you to have a mobile scanner. Just throwing that out there.
I have a Brother ADS 1300 and so far I am loving it. It does 30 ppm and it’s portable so I travel with it and my laptop to scan docs back right in my car before I head out . Just needs a USB C connection to your laptop , no power cord. Just make sure you flip open the support wings so your docs are stable while scanning and don’t misalign and jam, ask me how I learned that lesson
