This scanner can handle almost anything

A very smart-looking device, the Fujitsu fi-6230 is well constructed, lives up to the claims made for its performance and compares well on price against the competition. The bundled scanning software could be better, but that's unlikely to be an issue for...

High-volume scanning with impressive results

A sheetfed scanner small enough to fit in a briefcase

The S300 is squarely oriented at the office environment and, although it's effective, we'd have liked it to be a more capable all-rounder, particularly as it costs more than �200

An affordable network scanner with a lot to offer

Easy to use; large touchscreen; duplex scanning; choice of document formats

Review: Pentax DSmobile 600 scannerDuplicate documents on the move with this capable scanner

Smooth scanning mechanism; good software for document management

Can't match desktop scanners for performance; nothing new

The DSmobile 600 doesn't bring anything particularly new to the market, but is a capable portable scanner

Review: HP Scanjet G4050 scannerSix-colour scanning complete with dust and scratch removal, but be prepared for a long wait

Although results can vary, six-colour scanning is impressive; sturdy design

Only basic Vista drivers at present; slow six-colour scanning; poor software

The HP Scanjet G4050 is capable of producing excellent scans, but it certainly takes its time

Fast scan times; intelligent recognition of important data; synchronisation with other contact management applications and handheld PCs

Outlook integration could be improved

Turn business cards into valuable business data in seconds

Review: Plustek PL806 ADF document scannerA blisteringly fast scanner for high-volume users

Extremely fast; auto document feeder; good software support; very easy to use

Results of photo scanning not as impressive

For its intended purpose the PL806 performs extremely well, but as an all-round scanning solution it may not appeal to all.

Fast, double-sided scanning; rotatable touch-screen interface; Perfect Page image processing; scan to email and network shares; user profiles stored on USB memory stick

No integrated fax modem, group email or remote management

Walk-up network scanner that gives consistently good results

With most business cards roughly similar in size to many photographs, it must have made sense to Plustek to combine the two...

Fast batch photo scanning; good business card OCR

Those using it mainly for photos should opt for a flatbed

: Not a bad photo scanner, but it's business users who'll get the most out of the Plustek Opticard 820
