Hmm.  Download the driver for the raid card on to a floppy disk or whatever, and reinstall XP Pro with the raid driver (F6).

There is no RAID card.  Only on board SATA.  I may get a RAID card in the future.

Jason:

Does the CPU you have support RAID ?  That's how I do it.

No

No

You'll have to spend some bucks on a RAID card then.

Alot of low end CPU/Motherboards support RAID. 

The onboard SATA raid is a software solution anyway.

If your data and business continuity are important issues, get a raid card.

Will do.

Just a reminder that you can't install the OS until you get the Raid card.  You can't install first and then add the raid card later on.

Too late, the server is already up and running.  But it's not a big deal to reinstall, it only has the OS and synapse-server.

Bought the Xerox Documate 510.  Have about 100 patients' records now in Synapse.  The scanner is doing a great job, the only complain is the 30 sec warm up time.  Just found Jason's post in emrupdate forum mentioning how to change the power saving settings.  Jason, what time you set for yourself?

I am thinking of getting a faster one for the main office and another Documate 510 for a satellite office, using this Documate 510 as a backup as well as flatbed scanning.  Sanning speed is not an issue, even this 510's 10ppm is probably good enough, organizing the files and uploading to Synapse server is a tedious job.

Jason, have you upgraded your Strobe 450 to a Fujitsu?  You mentioned Strobe 450 is Documate 252, but I checked the specs.  Documate 252 is a duplex scanner.  Did you mean Documate 250?  I am debating between Fujitsu FI-5110C and Documate 250.  Do you guys think Duplex is necessary?  If yes, then I will need Fujitsu FI-5120C or Xerox Documate 252.

I have the Visioneer Strobe XP 450.  When I was using the Strobe's own interface if you right clicked on the "Scan Window" in the system tray you could "supposedly" set the "time out" time.  I set it for the highest value ( ? 99 minutes) .  That was supposed to be that if you had 98 minutes between scans you wouldn't have to wait for the 30 second warmup.  I don't think the setting actually worked.  Sometimes we would have hours between scans with no warmup and sometimes a 5 min break between scans would bring on the warmup routine.   Certainly annoying.

However, I use PaperPort's native scanning dialogs so I don't believe I have access to the "Power Saving settings".

Xerox Documate 510

I see a guy selling 7 of these on ebay for $199 USD.  *NEW in box*.

Seems like a good deal.

You always need one flatbed scanner in an office.  So for a smaller office having a Xerox 510 would be a good idea.

My Strobe XP 450 is a non-flatbed scanner.

Jason, have you upgraded your Strobe 450 to a Fujitsu?

No.  For day-to-day scanning you don't need much more than a typical scanner like my Strobe XP 450.  I would like one exactly the same without a warm up time.  :) 

For "mass scanning" the fancy Fujitsu's are nice. 

You mentioned Strobe 450 is Documate 252, but I checked the specs.  Documate 252 is a duplex scanner.  Did you mean Documate 250?

Yes Strobe XP 450 = DocuMate 250.  My scanner is not a duplex.  The main use of duplex scanning is for "Mass Archiving entire large charts".

I rarely get two sided documents.  I usually only get two sided documents in transfer charts where they have photocopied the chart and saved paper by duplexing.

I am debating between Fujitsu FI-5110C and Documate 250. 

I want a scanner to perform this ONE function.

scan black and white pages ----to--->   black and white DPI 200, searchable .pdf with no wait with one button press.

Finding a scanner is hard because many scanning programs don't work with all scanners.  ie. it looks like PaperPort 11 is not compatible with the 510 even though it says it on some official websites.

Q: qilin can you test the 510 with PaperPort 11 ?

If it works I might get one.  I need a flatbed. 

My Documate 510 works fine with Paperport 11.  I set three profiles as suggested by you: B&W 200 dpi PDF image for office documents, B&W 200 dpi searchable PDF for medical documents and 200 dpi grayscale for some handwritten notes. If in rare cases I need to scan in color, I will bring up the scan dialogue box. I use [pport] button from Synapse to scan into patients' folder.  Haven't had any problem.  I havent' tested everything though.

I think I will probably get a Xerox 252.

 What version of Omnipage do you have ?

Xerox Documate 252 will have a scan delay though.

yea. warmup time.
