Scanning Brings New Business

Those in-plants with a healthier prognosis are those looking outside the traditional print box to complementary services, such as imaging, archiving and document management.

When it comes to defining imaging equipment, the term "scanner" seems a bit inadequate, for imaging solutions come in all shapes and sizes. Some are stand-alone; some are integrated into high-end MFPs (multi-function printers/copiers) and production-level printers. Scanning utilities can range from straight digitizing of documents to scan-to-email systems; from scan-to-archive configurations to, of course, scanning for the sake of printing.
