Cheap document scanner for home use
Cheap document scanner for home use
Hey,
Anyone have any suggestions for a decent scanner for home use. My plan is to scan all invoices and important letters to keep on my MacBook instead of having these piles of paper lying around.
Preferable something small, cheap and Mac friendly.
Thanks!

You will be hard pressed to beat the Canon LiDE 90.

Cheap, USB powered, reasonably speedy, lightweight and nice form factor, and good document reproduction.

As said, all-in-ones are ridiculously cheap these days, I paid around $120 for a Brother printer-scanner-copier a few years back and it worked fine.
It's worth paying a little extra for a model with an automatic document feeder if you plan on scanning multi-page docs though, since flipping the lid up and down gets real old real fast...

Hard to beat IrfanView for a free image manipulation package. Quite a few scan options as well.
