Besides scanning in-house, consider outsourcing this process. Click here to learn more about outsourced scanning options.

Criteria for Selecting an In-house Scanner:

Scanning speed: Pages Per Minute, or "PPM." A scanner rated at 15 PPM will scan an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet in 4 seconds. Scanner throughput should be provided to adequately handle peak periods of resume volume. If desired, multiple scanners may be used with your Greentree system with multiple ScanStation licenses.

Input tray capacity: Rated in number of sheets, usually refers to unfolded, smooth sheets, unlike resumes! Divide by 2 to arrive at "resume sheets."

Scanning resolution: 300 DPI, black and white only, is preferred for scanning resumes. Higher resolutions are required for scanning graphics, photographs, and other non-text applications.

Service & Repair: Repair options range from "Depot Maintenance" where the scanner is dropped off at an authorized repair facility and pay for any needed repairs, to full on-site maintenance contracts. Depot maintenance is provided for scanners purchased from Greentree unless other service arrangements are made.

Other Uses: Will the scanner be used for applications other than Greentree? If so, consider purchasing a faster scanner (to free it up more often) with additional features for the other planned application. Please note: For maximum work flow and department efficiency, most Greentree installations provide a dedicated scanner for scanning resumes.
