HI Lasershow.....
I would like to fully endorse what Adam has said with regard to Pangolin.
This is truly powerful stuff.
I entered into the software / hardware without knowing anything.
Like you I am somewhat "remote" down here in New Zealand.
I took Adams advice and went Pangolin. ( I now have three QM2000 cards and the network cards)..
It is this point I wanted to add to what Adam has said.. the Pangolin system is a Professional system that allows for great expansion in the future.
If you can stretch out to get one of the QM2000 cards (any one) you can treat it as "number one" in your system If you should ever need to expand the whole infrastructure is there built in.
The software knows how many scanners you have in your system you can talk to one or numerous you can even control each scanner separately all from within the software (they can even do different things all at the same time.)
Its like buying the first brick in a wall.
If you think that sometime in the future you will want to get "more stuff" then Pangolin is the answer.
By the way the Designer and manufacturer, Bill, talks to us here on PL and is right there if you hit the wall with things..
Good luck whatever you decide
