Hello,
I need a scanner that can scan a mandate (small passport photograph with a signature and address of customer)of about 7X8 inches and the size of the file(jpeg) should be 28kb. Most importantly it should be able to scan about 50-60 of these mandates everyday. Right now I use HP Scanjet 5200c, 5300c,and 6300c models.But I am having problems with them . They don't seem to last. I think it's becos of the amount of scanning done.
Given these criteria what kind of scanner do u suggest. I need something that is very strong and can produce averge quality and if possible not too expensive.

I suggest you use a Canon scanner, one of the NU-12xx series. I have one that I have used at home and have scanned over 1500 pictures with since Feb. 2001, at 1200dpi x 600dpi (approx. 1Mb in size) and have excellent use with no problems. It is the NU-1220, a 42-bit USB scanner. Canon now has a newer version of this, but it is built on the same basis. This is a single scan scanner, but from the amount and size you are doing, it will suit the purpose.
