    Recommend a home/office scanner?

    Looking for a replacement scanner for the home. Just for usual stuff copying timesheets and receipts to pdf and all that. Last one was a bit bulky. Anyone researched and bought one recently? Cheap would be good too...

    Canon LIDE200 (or 210 I think it's now called) is a simple to operate scanner which I use for those types of things. Cheap as chips and hasn't failed me in years. Amazon is yr man.
    Clarity is everything

      Canon are fine. Or a cheap Lexmark printer. Had the X1190 for years, about 30 something quid, prints & scans fine for my unsophisticated needs.

      PS Small and CHEAP!

        It's bigger than a dedicated scanner, but I bought a cheapish Canon all in one printer/scanner/wifi attached thing a few months ago for about £40 from Currys of all places. Does the job

          Yes, tars what I have. The toolbox software that comes with it is very good _ so easy to scan to milk paged PDF.

              I use my phone or tablet to take a photo and then Cam Scan to turn it into a PDF.

                If you don't need it to be a flat-bed type one then the Fujitsu Scansnap S1300 is a great little bit of kit. Very compact (almost portable), good for scanning documents to searchable PDF files.

                    I've just bought a portable one, - cheap and compact. I also think it will be easier to scan smaller receipts with it (no need to glue them to an A4 sheet etc.).
