3 Best Scanners With Feeder And Flatbed

Flatbed and feeder scanners have their own advantages and disadvantages. For home, a flatbed scanner, whether it’s standalone or built-in a printer is perfectly fine. If you’re looking to scan a larger amount of A4 documents a feeder scanner is indispensable.

However, if you need a scanner for a library, a bank, or an office environment where you handle a lot of documents it’s a lot beter to opt for a combo scanner with flatbed and feeder.

We did a lot of research and we came up with the perfect selection of options that also feature a feeder and a flatbed.

What is the best multi-page scanner with feeder and flatbed?

Fujitsu SP-1425 is a pretty compact device (17.9 x 13 x 5.1 inches) that can handle all the light scanning work from the office. The ADF can work up to 25 pages per minute and can load documents of up to 120 inches long.

But the most important feature of this feeder is that it’s a duplex. That means that it can automatically scan both sides of the document.

Another important thing is that you don’t need to use its dedicated scan software. The TWAIN driver allows you to scan your documents to most third party applications.

But probably the most important application is the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software that you can use to easily convert your paperwork into searchable PDF documents and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, etc) files.

Digitizing your documents can be the ideal way of keeping your documents in perfect order and to have high-quality copies.

Fujitsu SP-1425 also comes with sensitive brake rollers for accurate paper separation, and ultra-sonic multi-feed detection sensors to stop misfed documents and prevent damage to the documents.
