I've been inspired by
this post and other reading to move to a paper-less office. Basically my plan is to scan all documents I have as PDF files and store them on my computer (backed up of course). I can always print them again if need be but this way I have documents that are more organized, searchable and don't take up as much space at my apartment.
I'm wondering what equipment would be best for this. This article above recommends the
Fujitsu ScanSnap and while it looks cool, it's pretty expensive (over $400) and I think it just does scanning, not printing or copying. Ideally I'd like to have something that can do multi-page scanning (don't want to have to scan pages one at a time) and automatically convert them to a PDF. And I'd like that device to be a printer and copier as well. Any recommendations?
Also, would love to hear experiences from anyone else who has gone paperless. I'm pretty excited about the possibility of doing so.
