OK, I've got to chime in again here. The Fujitus scanners are definitely well designed hot items. Color duplex scanning at 18 ppm is pretty hard to beat for the price. The only problem Paul, and I don't have one so someone correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think they can fax. When I first opened, I wanted a robust standalone copier, standalone fax, and standalone scanner. I already have tons of printes. But, it seems like they all came as one. So, you could get the Fujitsu if you want to.
I don't think the s510 is networkable, though. The site said it was USB 2.0, which is fine and you can share it out via the computer it is connected to. But, I only have one rule I NEVER break and that is to pay the extra cash and always get networked. You will usually not be sorry. It just makes everything easier, and you don't have to worry about a workstation managing your printing, which slows down that PC. And, if it is off, you can't print or whatever. I guess with scanning it is less important.
Two fax/scanner/copiers/printer (I know -- I hate all in one), but you can just use the fax/scanner if you already have the other:

Unlike Brian, I love the ability to print scripts. It used to be for two reasons; now for three.
First, when I am at the office (which is all the time) and I have to call in a script; I can fax it. I hate calling in a script. Plus it insures that the script I fax in is in the chart. Second, the patients like it, because they PERCEIVE it will be ready faster. And, the new thing is we wil fax ALL scripts now and will give NO ONE scripts now since the Federal Government has mandated that even Tylenol and Ambesol has to be on controlled substance paper. The only way around that is to fax or call in the script.
As far as IMH goes, I would be using it except AC's never got back to me when I asked for a new trial. My first trial period was when IMH didn't allow customer algorithms, so for a 7 year old with headaches, I had to use their 35 question adult questionnaire, which is ridiculous. So, when they come out with their customizeable one and nicely give me a new 30-day trial, AC wouldn't. I think I use it differently than others or woudl have. I wouldn't let the patiet fill theirs out. I would ask my MA to ask the questions but only on chronic or even acute issues that require asking questions I may forget. Besides, doesn't it cost quite a bit?
