What file formats can you scan documents into?

Documents can be scanned into PDF, JPEG, or TIFF formats depending on your needs. PDF is the most popular choice for business documents because it maintains quality while keeping file sizes manageable and creates searchable text. For photographs or images that need editing, JPEG works well. TIFF is preferred when you need the highest possible quality for archival purposes or when documents will be enlarged. Our staff can recommend the best format based on how you plan to use the files. If you’re unsure, PDF is usually the safest choice since it works with virtually every device and software program.
Yes, we regularly handle bulk scanning projects for local businesses. Whether you have a few boxes of files or entire filing cabinets that need digitizing, our team can work with you to create an efficient plan. For large projects, you can drop off materials and pick them up when complete, or arrange for the work to be done in phases if you need access to certain documents during the process. We’ll provide a timeline upfront so you know exactly when to expect your digital files. Pricing for bulk projects is typically more economical per page than individual document scanning. Call ahead to discuss your specific needs and get an accurate quote based on the volume and complexity of your materials.
Our fax equipment uses standard telephone line encryption and provides confirmation receipts for every transmission. For highly sensitive documents, you can request that transmissions be sent during specific hours or to secured fax lines. All documents are handled with strict confidentiality protocols. Our staff members are trained in privacy procedures, and any physical documents left for processing are stored securely until pickup or disposal. If you’re dealing with HIPAA-protected medical records or legal documents with privilege concerns, discuss your specific security requirements when you arrive. We can explain additional precautions available for sensitive materials.
Professional scanners produce much higher quality images with better color accuracy and text clarity. They can handle unusual document sizes, thick materials, and fragile papers that would jam or damage home equipment. Speed is another major advantage. Professional scanners can process dozens of pages per minute with automatic document feeders, compared to the slow, manual process of home scanners. For anything more than a few pages, the time savings alone makes professional scanning worthwhile. The biggest difference is reliability. Professional equipment is maintained regularly and produces consistent results. You won’t deal with streaks, misaligned pages, or equipment failures that waste your time and potentially damage important documents.
Yes, documents can be scanned and sent directly to your email address, uploaded to Google Drive, or transferred to other cloud storage services. This eliminates the need to carry USB drives or worry about file transfer. For email delivery, there are size limits depending on your email provider, but our staff can split large jobs into multiple emails or recommend cloud storage for bigger projects. Files are typically delivered within minutes of scanning. The QR code option is particularly convenient – you can scan a code with your smartphone and have the documents appear directly in your phone’s storage or preferred app. This works great when you need immediate access to scanned materials while you’re still at our store.
Most scanning and faxing jobs are completed while you wait or within a few hours for larger projects. We understand that document needs are often urgent, especially for business deadlines or legal requirements. For rush jobs, call ahead to ensure staff availability and equipment access. We can often accommodate same-day requests even for moderate-sized projects, though extremely large volumes might require overnight processing. Faxing is typically immediate – documents are transmitted as soon as you provide the destination information. If a fax fails on the first attempt, we’ll retry immediately and keep trying until successful transmission is confirmed.
