We all know scanning\u2019s a chore. Scanners have been around forever, but most offices still don\u2019t use them. Why? Well, for one thing, no-one thinks of a scanner as fast. Even now, you\u2019re visualizing a bulb dragging slooowly across a sheet of paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the real truth of the matter is, active professionals just don\u2019t have time to waste with scanning and all of the complexities that come with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why we have one goal and one goal only: to get you to consider scanning. You\u2019ve dismissed it plenty of times before, but this time, it just might be easy enough \u2026 even for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Desktop Scanning: Is One Click Easy Enough?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Scanners aren\u2019t what they used to be. Compact, desktop models take up almost no space and can pull paper through so fast you\u2019ll watch it scan just for the satisfaction of it. Nothing says \u201cmy money was worth it\u201d like speed. Look at Fujitsu, Epson, and Canon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But a quandary remains: what do you do after it whips that document through? Here\u2019s what you need to get:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A quality image that isn\u2019t too big (black-and-white, 300 dpi)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Text extracted from the scan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The image and text combined into a searchable PDF file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To get that, you\u2019re looking at three different pieces of software, and three separate, tedious steps. Now we\u2019ll tell you how to get there easier:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select where you want the document to go<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place document in scanner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click \u201cScan\u201d in FileCenter<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Is one-click scanning easy enough for you? Get a free trial of the <a href=\"\/dms\">best document management software<\/a> for scanning \u2013 FileCenter \u2013 and see how easy scanning can be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bulk Scanning: Can It Even <em>Be<\/em> Easy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve got stacks and stacks of documents to scan. In other words, you\u2019re about to take up residence next to the scanner, right? Wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put <a href=\"\/filecenter-features.html\">FileCenter<\/a> to work as your scanning <em>and<\/em> filing assistant! FileCenter offers automatic document separation and routing. Which means, simply put, that you can scan an entire stack of documents at once.
