What file formats can you scan documents into?

Most documents get scanned to PDF format because it maintains quality and works universally across devices and platforms. PDFs also preserve the exact layout of your original document. For photographs or images that need editing later, JPEG format often works better. If you need text that can be searched or edited, we can add OCR (Optical Character Recognition) processing to make the text selectable. Our team will recommend the best format based on how you plan to use the scanned files. Different formats serve different purposes, and we’ll explain the pros and cons of each option for your specific situation.
Pricing depends on the volume and complexity of your job. Simple text documents cost less per page than detailed photographs or oversized materials that require special handling. Most single-page faxes run under $2, making it much cheaper than maintaining your own fax line. Scanning costs vary by page count and resolution requirements, but typical jobs range from $1-3 per page. For larger projects like scanning entire file folders or multiple photo albums, we offer volume pricing that brings the per-page cost down significantly. It’s always worth asking about bulk rates if you have a substantial scanning project.
Yes, we treat all documents with strict confidentiality, whether it’s medical records, legal contracts, or financial statements. Our staff understands privacy requirements and handles sensitive materials appropriately. Documents never leave the premises during processing, and digital files are delivered directly to you via secure methods. We don’t store copies of your files on our systems after the job is complete. For highly sensitive materials, you can stay present during the scanning process if that gives you additional peace of mind. We’re happy to accommodate reasonable security requests that help protect your private information.
Standard letter and legal size documents (8.5×11 and 8.5×14) are the most common, but we can handle larger formats up to 11×17 for most jobs. This covers blueprints, maps, certificates, and oversized forms. For faxing, most machines accommodate up to legal size. Larger documents might need to be scanned first, then transmitted electronically rather than through traditional fax. If you have unusual sizes or very large documents, call ahead to confirm capabilities. We can often find creative solutions for odd-sized materials, even if it requires special handling or multiple scans.
Simple faxing usually takes just a few minutes – time to verify the number, send the document, and get confirmation of successful transmission. Most faxes go through on the first attempt. Basic scanning jobs with a few pages can be completed while you wait, typically 5-10 minutes depending on the queue. Larger volumes or jobs requiring special formatting might take longer or be scheduled for pickup later. During busy periods, especially at the start of school years or tax season, allow extra time. But for urgent jobs, we’ll work with you to find a solution that meets your deadline.
No appointment necessary for most scanning and faxing jobs. Walk-ins are welcome during regular business hours, and our staff can usually help you right away or within a short wait. For very large scanning projects – like entire filing cabinets or hundreds of photos – calling ahead helps us set aside adequate time and prepare the right equipment for your specific needs. During peak times like back-to-school season or tax preparation periods, calling ahead can save you time. But for typical jobs of a few pages, just bring your documents in when convenient.
