Same here .. we added optical modules to the lease on all our photocopiers for a rather insignificant price. Files created are deposited as TIF or PDF files onto the Novell network via FTP ... neatly landing in a folder in my home directory. Bliss
<br><br>The copier in the general office can scan duplex A3 colour, even rattling a bundle of pages through the document feeder in a few seconds. Cute when you have something you want to publish in Moodle in a hurry as a PDF file. TIF is nice if you have the time to OCR what you have just scanned. :-)

Most modern photocopiers have a scanning facility if configured<br>correctly (sometimes in colour even on BW copiers) . That might be an<br>option seeing as almost all of them are A3.<br><br>vik<br><br>On 9/6/07, James Poulos <
