Q: 7. the scanner is capable of handling up to 500 sheets each day.???? what does this mean??? please clarify

A: This is a rough estimate of how much wear and tear the scanner can take over its lifespan. While it's not a hard limit, if you exceed 500 sheets a day for an extended period of time, your product might not last as long as the manufacturer intended. For calculation purposes, 500 sheets a day for a month is roughly 15000 sheets a month, and 182500 sheets a year. If you do not exceed this duty, it should typically give you no issues.
