- Is the Fi-8820 good for A3 documents?
- Yes. It is an A3-format document scanner, so it takes oversized sheets that A4 desktop scanners cannot feed. That makes it suited to drawings, ledgers and large forms.
- Does it work with a Mac?
- No. It is a Windows-only scanner. Mac users would need a Windows PC or a different model.
- Can it connect over a network?
- No. The only interface is USB, so it must be attached to a host computer. Sharing it across an office requires that PC to act as the scanning station.
- Is it fast enough for daily batch scanning?
- It is built as a production document scanner for continuous batches, not occasional single pages. Expect it to suit mailroom and records work better than a home office.
- What should I check before buying a used one?
- Check roller and pad wear, feed reliability and that Windows drivers are still available for your version. Ask for a scan test with a thick stack.
- How does it compare with a modern A4 workgroup scanner?
- It wins on A3 size and batch volume. A modern A4 workgroup unit wins on footprint, network features and current software support.
