Pick this if...
- You scan 500-3,000 pages a day in a workgroup of 5-25 people and need 50 ppm / 100 ipm without paying for a flatbed.
- You need to capture the messy stuff — 20 to 465 gsm, plastic ID cards, mailing envelopes, mixed batches — without sorting first.
- You want gigabit Ethernet so the scanner sits on the network and any PC running PaperStream IPNet can pull from it.
- You're standardizing on Ricoh fi-8000 and want the entry workgroup model that shares parts and PaperStream profiles with the rest of the fleet.
- You scan a lot of NCR carbonless paper or oily forms — the urethane rollers don't swell the way EPDM does.
