How to organize scanning of documents to a remote computer?

Question

Iron

There is a task: to scan documents to a remote computer.
You need to find a solution with the lowest cost and get away from depending on the computer to which the scanner is connected.
Are there any budget MFP/scanner options with RJ45 or Wi-Fi?

Answer 1

Kyocera ECOSYS M2535dn
Or equivalents.
Sending to the mail, to the ball or to FTP is configured.
You can set multiple profiles.
Perhaps there is a cheaper model. With the same features.

Answer 2

Depending on how budget a scanner is needed, in any case, it is better to find an MFP with the corresponding functions. At one time, the issue was solved differently at one time, a cheap MFP that didn’t even have a network connected to one of the workplaces, smartphones were connected to the network and from them it was possible to “press a button” in the application, because there wasn’t one on it either, by scanning and laying on the ball was engaged in the background application at the same workplace.

Answer 3

Here you are attached to Kyocer-am! They have their own problems!
The most correct option is an MFP with RJ45 . There are many options from different manufacturers - you need to look and compare. It is important to pay attention, as mentioned above, to the functionality of scanning over a network without a PC (to mail, or to a ball, or to a USB drive)!
PS: The same Kyocer had a model that scanned over the network, BUT when connected via USB and on. PC - some kind of cast!
