Your machine might be too "all-purpose" . We use a Kodak scanner that does nothing else but scan. It has speed, can do front and back and skip blank pages. It did not cost $400 and has paid for itself many times over in employee salary at $12 plus an hour.We scan in charts of patients who have made appointments, telephone consults, refill requests and correspondence, etc. Any paper chart that is pulled from the file cabinet for any reason is converted to an electronic file that is imported to AC and the old paper chart is then shredded ( never placed back into the metal cabinet). We have sold a dozen ( or more) metal file cabinets on Craig's List and are loving the additional open space in the office.
