Pick this if...
- You scan 1,000-8,000 pages a day in a workgroup of 10-30 people and need a flatbed for the occasional book, fragile original, or stapled doc you forgot to unstaple.
- You handle mixed batches — letter, legal, IDs, receipts — and want one device that does the run plus the one-off without swapping machines.
- You want Ethernet so multiple PCs on the network can drive it (PaperStream IP supports networked sharing).
- You're replacing an fi-7260 — the fi-8270 is the direct successor with 70 ppm vs 60, plus better thick-paper handling.
- You need to capture both sides of an ID card and combine them on one image — Card Stitching is built into PaperStream IP.
