Wondering why "business" class mini scanners are completely unreliable?

small ones designed to scan driver's licenses or insurance cards.

@Dashrender I recall seeing a good quality one, I'll see if I can find it again (was a couple hundred bucks though IIRC)
-
The scanners I have now from Inuvio are $250+ each.. plus the software. They are the only one suggested by our vendor (athenahealth). But we've tried a few different ones.. they are all the same.. they constantly have driver/connection/quality/etc issues.
For example, this morning - one unit while scanning in duplex mode would treat the top portion of the scanned image as is nothing was scanned while the bottom section actually had the duplexed version of the card... unplugging it and plugging it back in solved the problem.
The scanner will randomly decide not to auto scan when a card is inserted. Sometimes a reboot fixes it, sometimes not.
I had one machine that had to be calibrated every 3 or 4th scan, then for whatever reason after 6 months the problem just went away.
Only thing I can guess with that one was some type of MS update issue - maybe? who knows?

Writing my speech and putting my Powerpoint together for my Toastmaster's speech tonight and also Wednesday. The title is "Picking a Printer: Why Laser Beats Inkjet".

Now I'm really confused - I recall not that long ago that you were preaching that Inkjets were WAY cheaper to operate than Lasers and where the way to go.

That's what I thought.. not that I'd ever by an injet. I have both a color laser and B&W even at home.
Also pretty sure there are B&W inkjets for some stuff.
-
A B&W inkjet is any inkjet that doesn't have color cartridges installed. Granted the printer might refuse to print if you send a color print job to it... unlike a B&W laser.

I have colour laser at home too. So much easier to deal with.

B&W Inkjet is another term for boat anchor
