Raven Pro Document Scanner - Huge Touchscreen, High Speed Color Duplex Feeder (ADF), Wireless Scan to Cloud, WiFi, Ethernet, USB, Home or Office Desktop

Lo compre para una pequeña oficina que tengo montada en casa, el volumen de escaneos no debe de ser menor de 500 hojas por semana, aunque en ocasiones puede que supere las 1,000 y hasta la fecha sin problemas (llevo aproximadamente un mes con el). Ha resultado bastante facil e intuitivo para todo mi equipo de trabajo usarlo. El servicio de nube es excelnte y me permite clasificar y ordenar todos mis archivos, definitivamnte una compra que recomiendo bastante, optimizó mucho mis tiempos de escaneado, anteriormente tardaba hasta 30 minutos haciendo lo que con este escaner puedo hacer en 2. Si requieres escanear una gran cantidad de hojas esta es una muy buena elección

Best ever

Looking to update my current scanner (ScanSnap iX500) which I have had for a number of years, but instead of staying with the same manufacturer, I went with an alternative which I have heard good things about.The Raven Pro Document Scanner is a very different scanner and so far has surpassed my expectations.Easy to set up.Wifi (2GHz and 5GHz) + Wired.large Control panel with an easy-to-follow interface.Not so bulky Software to install.Good quality Scans.Easy to configure the destination of scans (cloud + local)I could go on all day with the Pros the only downside is you can't fold it closed which is not a problem for me really for such a good scanner.

I use this scanner at work. Most of my scans are of the end of day accounting which are emailed to our head office.This machine allows me to put in all different sizes. Eg A4 balance sheet along with all the card machine slips. It will scan them all at the same time, both sides if needed but it works that out for itself, it will them email them all as 1 file or separate files all with the press of a button.This scanner has saved me 30 minutes a day so will basically pay for itself in weeks and therefore it makes this scanner one of the cheapest on the market.A nice feature is the ability to edit the PDF documents so if you forget a PO number you can enter it on the PDF scan. It is a small but important feature for me.

It is absolutely ridiculous how good this scanner is now. It was brilliant when I bought 2 of these in Oct 2019, but I am amazed at how they continually upgrade and improve since then. I bought this to replace my Fujitsu iX500 which was a great scanner in its day and served me well for years, but there really is no comparison. As my attached picture shows, I have not opened the Fujitsu since I have gotten this. Let me summarize the PROS and CONS that come to mind:PROS:1. Extremely easy to use - Place papers to be scanned on document feeder, press giant "SCAN" button on giant touchscreen.2. Crazy Fast! Regardless of number of colors or resolution, this thing is fast, fast, fast!3. Stack as many pages as you want! My old Fujitsu did 15-20 pages Max, this one scans 100. Saves me tons of time during tax time - I just through in a giant stack of paper and it rips through the entire stack.4. Built in OCR! This makes finding documents later easy.5. Can handle thick materials (pro version)! I have scanned credit cards, thick cardboard.6. No computer needed! So convenient. My old Fujitsu required computer connection which was dicey. These scans can go to computers and cloud locations at the same time.7. Scans to multiple destinations at the same time with no extra effort! I can save copies directly to laptop, email account, and multiple clouds at the same time. I like to save to Hotmail /Outlook Web email account, Raven Cloud, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, our home Macbook Pro (wirelessly using SMB protocol!), and even iCloud (folder on my MacBook that syncs to iCloud). Multiple copies so I can find them and use them where I want, all at the same time. You can even save to specific folders on any source.8. On-Screen Naming. After you scan, you can name the document (and/or individual pages if you want) and that name(s) goes with the document to all selected destinations so you can retrieve it later.9. Auto-Detection works great - I recommend you use this setting all the time. When you press scan it does not matter if your stack of documents has material on one side or both, the scanner finds all pages with material and creates a scan of each.10. Excellent scanning in Color, Grayscale, or Black and White! You decide what will work best based on your file side needs. Because I like to just set and forget, I mostly scan in color and it just figures things out from there. Super fast and documents are reasonable size in my opinion.11. Nice selection of scanning resolutions - 200DPI, 300DPI, 400DPI, 600DPI. I like about 300 or 400 which works great if I later print copies on my laser printer.12. Scan to Fax - no phone connection needed! - What, free fax scanning using only internet connection? That is so sick. Works great for me for business.13. Scan to email address(es)! Mentioning this again because it is so brilliant. You can send over the internet to one or more emails at the touch of a button. Works great with contact directly which I will list separately.14. Contact Directory! You can save email and fax numbers for contacts you need to send stuff to and choose one or more of these to scan to on the fly.15. Secure! I am connected to my WPA 2 network at home.16. History Provided! at the touch of a button see exactly who you sent what to and when.17. Delivery Confirmation! You are scanning and sending to one or more destinations at the same time. You get on screen confirmation when it has been delivered and it is immortalized in the history as well.18. Outstanding Support! It is obvious that these guys are customer focused. They answer phones in the US, speak clear English, and are very helpful. Email support is fast and excellent too in my opinion. I have not tried web chat which they also seem to offer.19. Continued improvements! This thing is like an Iphone or Tesla with continued upgrades and new features. I have only had it for about 8 months and they have added so many excellent new features. Some examples off the top of my head - address book added to make sending to one or more contacts simple, history added to have documentations that materials were sent and received, and resolution has been improved (used to top out at 400DPI and they increased to 600DPI with firmware upgrade alone), wireless Macintosh connectivity by SMB, speed dramatically improved to name a few! I have seen so many excellent upgrades in such a short time that I really trust these guys to deliver what they say. Just today I called for a tech issue and asked about paper handling length which is currently limited to legal sized, and they tell me that they are removing that limitation in 2 weeks.CONS: Quite honestly, I have to strain to think of any!1. Paper handling length - currently limited to legal sized length, but this limitation will be fixed in 2 weeks by firmware release according to the tech team that I called today originally about another issue, and then I decided to ask about the only 2 CONS that I can possibly think of.2. No WPA Enterprise 2 support - Tech support says no ETA on this one, though it is on their list. I use WPA 2 at home and it works great with my wifi, but work uses WPA 2 Enterprise (which requires username and password as well as SSID). Thus, I have to connect this by ethernet to my company network.That's it!This scanner is beyond excellent!I work for a large company with a lot of resources. There is truly nothing like this. There are so many applications. We use it at home to get rid of all paper. We scan anything that we want to keep and it is easily retrieved from the "cloud" whenever we need it. At work, we use this as a Kiosk for our patients to be able to scan their own documents and have it automatically and rapidly sent to the business center which can be anywhere from 5 to 30 miles away! Put in document stack of papers and hit "Scan Button". You do not even have to name it. It generates a PDF which is rapidly opened, read, and processed in the way that is needed.I highly recommend this scanner for business or personal use. My wife who is not a techie loves this thing as much as I do! (I am a techie).
