Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 22 hours agoDo you have any particular model in mind? What do you mean by “automatic scanner”? Any scanner I know needs quite a lot of manual preparation to scan a batch of documents.

Epson WorkForce DS‑730N
put 100 sheets on the tray, it scans them all and either puts them all into a single pdf or multiple pdfs. Then you split / merge them in software.

Not very automatic, is it? There are definitely better ways to scan high volumes of documents.

You can use e.g. barcodes, patch codes or separator sheets (which usually carry the patch code). Sometimes you can also separate documents by recognising some feature on the first page, e.g. a logo or a barcode that’s already there. And of course it’s a good idea to put single usage documents in a separate batch so you just separate them by page count. This of course also works if all documents are two or three pages long.
