Plustek SmartOffice PN30U Network Document Scanner

This is Plustek's compact network-ready ADF scanner, built for small and medium offices that need to digitize documents and share them across a team without buying a dedicated scanner for every desk. It scans both sides of a page at 30 ppm, connects via USB or Ethernet, and has a 4,000-sheet daily duty cycle. The catch? The Ethernet connection is Windows-only, and it's strictly for loose sheets—no flatbed for bound books or fragile IDs.
