A high end Fujitsu scanner will automatically feed a stack of documents.
Using a simple Visual Basic applet it will allow you to put an e-mail
address and send it out as an e-mail. The Fujitsu scanner costs about $1200
to $1400 from CDW. This would be a little more economical if that is an
issue. Other wise you solution sounds really neat. Wish I had one. Also I
agree all documents, including AP invoices, customer PO and orders. They
would be easier to retrieve when you need to see the actual document and
would not be destroyed in a fire. With the low cost of CD ROM writers they
could be stored there at the end of the year. This would cut down on all
types of storage costs every year.
Sorry I got carried away again.

Cameron,
These are definitely new boxes. From what I've been able to find out HP
has
been making these boxes in Italy for about 2-3 years.
The URL on my first posting somehow got split when I posted.
Check out
http://www.bstore.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpbs/dropin.jsp?FamilyOID=-11250
<http://www.bstore.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpbs/dropin.jsp?FamilyOID=-11250> ....
goto "Digital Senders" section and then the HP9100C unit.
I haven't been able to find anything on the market that looks this simple.
Scanning to Email via PDF with the simplicity of a fax machine. You can
also scan to PDF and forward to any number of PC's on your LAN.
This would be very handy for scanning and emailing. I'm also equally
intrigued with the idea of users being able to scan documents and save
them
easily on our Servers. I would much prefer to have key documents like
contracts, etc stored electronically on our servers. In the event of a
fire
all would not be lost. For approx $ 3,000 this looks like a very
economical
document management system.
Also, if you goto HP's website and click your way through online support
you
can view the Administrator and User manuals for these products. These are
about 200 pages each in PDF format so you can easily print them out and
read
through to get a better idea of what these boxes can do. Check out

You should look it up on Hp's web site. Hp's web site only handles new
equipment, not old equipment, which this sounds like. If it is new you
will
be able to get all the info from there. Their web site is hp.com.

If anyone has any experience with HP9100C digital senders would you
please
reply off list.
I am contemplating purchasing one of these units and am trying to get
some
more information.

This is a box about the size of a fax machine that allows you to drop in
stack of up to 50 documents, enter an email address, and click send. It
scans the documents in B&W or Color, converts it to either a PDF or TIFF
image and then automatically emails it for you. You can also scan a
document and forward it to your PC for storage, etc.
I love the concept since it appears to be pretty much idiot proof.
So far it appears HP is the only company offering such a stand alone
product. I have also been reviewing Toshiba, Lanier, and Cannon
copiers
that have a scan to email option for B&W only.
For the copiers this option adds about $ 5,000 to the purchase price of
a
35-50 page/min copier. I have a quote for the HP9100C digital sender
at
$
2,700 and I like the idea of having a separate box for this function
since
it gives more options for placement.
Has anyone gone done this road yet ?
