Scanner Hire

Do you have a backlog of documents that need scanning but don't want to invest heavily into an expensive scanner you will rarely use?

Hiring a document scanner is something worth considering to help your business digitise a backlog of documents without a high cost of actually purchasing a document scanner. At the end of a project it is easy to be left with a high spec scanner that is too excessive for everyday use. These problems can be avoided through hiring or renting a document scanner.

We have scanners available for hire that scan in both A4 and A3, colour documents, double sided pages (duplex) and are capable of scanning at a wide range of speeds to suit every customers needs from small businesses to large corporate mailrooms.

As standard, we offer nationwide scanner hire on a wide range of models to help businesses in need. Our scanner engineers will deliver your scanner to you on a date chosen by you. Assistance with remote setup and installation is available by our technical team. Although a breakdown is rare, during all our rentals the scanner is fully covered, including parts and labour during the entirety of the rental.

Need the scanner longer? Don't worry, our scanner rentals have no hidden costs, you have the choice of extending with no hidden charges.

Canofile Conversion

Do you still have important data stored on Canofile magnetic optical disk?

Canofile is no longer supported by Canon and is an outdated method of storing your valuable information. With every passing year the difficulty of restoring your Canofile data grows to the point of complete obsolescence.

Some data formats and media types stand the test of time, but many do not. As with 3½” and 5¼” floppy disks, the useful life has long since ended for the Canofile format. Organisations that require ongoing access to images stored in Canofile formats are probably already facing daily frustrations in doing so, and the situation is destined only to get worse.

We specialise in the quality conversion of Canofile 250/510 Disks to TIFF/PDF formats which can easily be imported into document management systems for network availability, with quick turnaround times and security and confidentiality of your data guaranteed.

Our customers include many FTSE 100 companies, local and central government departments.
