Purchased and Installed older model 10000XL 11x17 scanner on 01/31/2001 and just replaced it with the 13000XL model July 2024. Only had to replace the 23-yr. old model we used daily due to upgrade to Windows Server 2022 which would no longer communicate with the old Windows XP desktop that the 2001 scanner ran on. Big commercial printers and scanners at the office eliminate geotechnical contour lines and details required for these drawings when scanned. Fabulous equipment worth every penny! Highly recommended.
