Thank you for all of the responses to my question about scanning equipment. They were very helpful. As a follow-up question, does anyone have experience working with either of the following equipment? HP OfficeJet G85 Printer/Fax/Scanner/Copier - I am considering this for general purpose sheet scanning, but I am attracted to the many additional features it offers. HP CapShare 920 Portable Copier - I am considering this for hand scanning from fragile books. Thanks for any experiences you can pass on to me. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Miller [mailto:Bob_Miller@rdmiller.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 12:25 PM To: ILKNOX-L@rootsweb.com; NYCATTAR-L@rootsweb.com; ILPEORIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Scanning Equipment I am looking to purchase some scanning equipment. I want to be able to scan the pages of fragile old books so that I can work with the image or retrieve the text into a Microsoft Word for further editing. I also want to be able to easily scan from a volume of single sheets so that I can work with the images or text. I realize that I may need more than one piece of equipment to affectively work with both kinds of source documents. Does anyone have any recommendations?
