Pick this if...
- You run a service bureau, BPO, government records office, or healthcare records department doing 30,000-110,000 pages a day across multiple shifts.
- You scan A3 / 11x17 originals daily — engineering drawings, medical charts, large forms — and need them at 130 ppm full speed.
- You replace mixed batches without sorting — A8 receipts to A3 plans in the same hopper; the fi-8930's mixed-batch handling and ultrasonic double-feed detection are the reason you pick it over a Kodak.
- You're replacing an fi-7900 or fi-7800 — fi-8930 is the direct successor with the bigger 750-sheet hopper and the new 4.3" touchscreen.
- You need ISIS, TWAIN, and PaperStream IP drivers for your existing capture software (Kofax, EzeScan, Square 9, Laserfiche).
