Hi all

Im looking for a cheap but reliable scanner. All I will be using it for is scanning timesheets and sending the odd bit of paperwork to my accountant. Any suggestions?

Might even consider a combined printer and scanner if such a thing exists?

Many thanks in advance

You could ask this chap?

Who needs a scanner? Just take a photo of the document with your mobile phone.

(I've done this, in the back of a van in a remote part of Russia - it felt very KGB).

MI6, surely.


Back on topic:

I've had an all in one scanner / photocopier / printer / fax and I got sick of feeding it with ink cartridges.

Went for a laser printer instead, and use the scanners at work.

My local post office and some supermarkets have photocopiers which will also dump to USB sticks.

Is this what you mean by smart phone?

Speaking AND hearing tubes contained in the same unit????
Marvellous! I can see why it's called a smart phone

If you really want cheap, you'll only be doing the occasional document, and you own a smart phone, why not just photograph the document and email it? I've done that when away from home and it works just as well as a scanner.

Now, will somebody please explain the term smart phone....
