Perceptive Content: Scanners

Canon and Fujitsu scanners are the two major brands used at the University.

Before making a scanner purchase, contact [email protected]. We can help with picking the right scanner for your department.

Software

There are two Virtual Rescan Softwares:

  • Kofax
  • Paperstream

Both are very configurable, can clean up thin paper, colored paper, hole punches, coffee stains, or even watermarks.

Kofax is not free unless bundled with the scanner (make sure it is the Elite Workgroup license). It costs around $1500 alone.

Paperstream is free with a Fujitsu scanner (fi6130z or newer).

Both softwares require some time to configure and can be finicky.
