Supported Scanners

What Scanners Are Supported By EzeScan?

Supported Scanner Vendors

 

Supported Scanner Drivers

TWAIN Scanners

EzeScan PRO includes built in TWAIN scanning support, so it will work directly with most TWAIN compliant scanners. Scanners supporting the TWAIN 1.9 specification or higher should work with EzeScan. Most well maintained TWAIN drivers are now at least TWAIN 2.0/2.1/2.2 compliant.. We suggest using TWAIN for production batch scanning.

ISIS Scanners

There is an optional ISIS scanning module available for purchase which will provide ISIS support for ISIS compliant scanners. There is no real need to use ISIS if you already have a TWAIN compliant scanner.

WIA Scanners

EzeScan PRO includes built in WIA scanning support, so it will work with most WIA compliant scanners. WIA (Windows Imaging Acquisition) is very lightweight and best suited to scanning single pages at a time, not batch scanning of multiple pages or documents. We suggest to only use WIA when no other drivers exist for your scanner.

Digital Photocopiers, MFP's and Network Scanner Devices

Simply scan to a network file share, and then use the standard import file/folder functionality in EzeScan PRO to import your scanned images into EzeScan for processing.

Choosing Your Scanning Device

Features to consider when selecting the right scanner:

• Minimum and maximum document paper size (A4, A3, other)
• Simplex vs Duplex (single sided vs double sided)
• Scanner speed (PPM - pages per minute/IPM - images per minute)
• Scanner speed in black & white, grayscale and colour modes
• Can you scan in landscape mode? It's faster to do this.
• Correctly size the ADF (50,100, 250, 500, 500+ sheets)
• Look for automated features (auto paper size, auto colour detection, auto threshold detection)
• Ultrasonic multi feed detection and paper jam handling
• Warranty offered (3 months, 12 months, extended)
• Service delivery (is it return to base or onsite?)
• Availability and cost of consumables such as cleaning kits and roller kits
• How often will the consumables need to be replaced?
• Are you back scanning? (large backlog with high volumes for months)
• Or are you day forward scanning? (lower volumes per day)
• Shorten a back scanning project timeframe by short term renting several scanning workstations (PC+ software + high volume scanners)
• Do you need seamless integration with ECM, EDRMS, Finance or other backend systems?

 

Highly Recommended Scanners

Below is a list of scanners/devices that should work with the latest release of EzeScan 4.3. The following scanners are highly recommended by us because these Scanner Vendors regularly update their scanner drivers with new features and fixes.

We regularly test that these scanners will work with EzeScan. Some newly released scanners may be absent from the list below, because they have not gone through our Scanner Certification process. Some older scanner models have struck through because the Scanner Manufacturer has announced them as being End of Life (EOL), so we no longer accept support calls related to these scanners.

 

Other Supported Scanners

For the scanners listed below, our testing is normally done against the TWAIN driver.
