We have a pretty standard warehouse as far as dirt is concerned. Can anyone recommend a scanner to quickly scan picking tickets to .PDF? I'm looking at the XP series from Visioneer. The XP 200 looks like it would do my job at the minimum and the XP 450 on the higher end. Duty would be 100 pages a day attached to a Windows XP workstation via USB. Thanks for your help here.

I'll start by saying that I have not used either of those two models. However, about 4 years ago I was working at a hospital implementing a "paperless" registration system that required scanners at each registration terminal. The hospital ended up buying several dozen of the portable-style scanners (similar to the XP200) because they didn't want them to take up much desk space. We had lots of problems with them. Sometimes they wouldn't acknowledge that we were trying to put paper through, sometimes they didn't realize that they were even connected to the PC. Now this hospital was also using NT4 on these PCs, and some scanners were connected via USB and others parallel, but I thought that it was pretty much a cluster.
