Due to the prep work involved, they fail to utilize the high-speed scanner’s full potential because they have to keep stopping and un-staple the documents. They ended up spending money on a scanner that they never could fully take advantage of.

• What is the condition of the documents?
  You’ll want to get a good idea of what you’ll need to do in order to prep the documents for scanning. Are they stapled, in document jackets, paper clipped? This will tell you how much time you’ll need to spend on prepping the documents for scanning.

• How many people will work on the scanning project?

Mid-volume scanners are recommended for projects where you have a three to five banker boxes or a filing cabinet and a month to complete the job with one person.

High-volume scanners are when you’re talking about two or more filing cabinets, a few weeks to complete the job and a team of two people.
