By Kathryn Hughes | Wednesday, July 3, 2013

Coming today to SmallLaw: Size matters in technology. Some products benefit from being large, others from being small. Portable scanners clearly fall into the latter category.

But how well does it work? Insurance lawyer and consultant Martha Sperry has the answer in this issue of SmallLaw. In her comprehensive review, Martha evaluates setting up and using the imageFORMULA P-208 from a lawyer's perspective.

By Kathryn Hughes | Monday, June 24, 2013
