i bought a real fancy scanner on ebay cuz i make bad decisions with money and it was super cheap cuz it was used. it's got a lot of very advanced ~enterprisey~ security features, and was clearly used by some big company that was probably getting rid of surplus or something.

anyway it finally showed up today and i try to use it only to realize it needs an admin login to even do a factory reset. oh no, did i just waste my mon-

oh the username is "admin" and the password is "password", ok :geno:

saved credentials and path to their file sharing server and saved credentials for their sharepoint instance but it doesn't really have any internal file storage beyond an initial ram cache (though it does have a secure erase feature which they didn't use of course)

however they did have one saved network admin account, I assume for maintenance, and that admin account was named like "pyxis-service". the only major thing I can find with the name 'pyxis' is a brand of pharmacy management / drug dispensing things, so i'm guessing this scanner was originally from a pharmacy and sold as part of a complete system along with a service contract, maybe for scanning prescriptions

you know, exactly the kind of place that should run the loving secure erase feature before selling it

e: at least i think it has sharepoint credentials, it says sharepoint is configured according to the on-device configuration thing but i think to actually access the config for that you need to use the admin tool which requires some ancient version of internet explorer and i can't be assed to set that up right now. i could definitely see the fileshare credentials and the user accounts though so :v:

pyxis is more commonly seen in hospitals to track and dispense sensitive but high volume drugs, so rather than the pharmacy sending a dude up to the icu with a bottle of morphine they stock the cabinet in the icu with 20 of them at the start of the day and when the order comes in and is approved, the hospital pharmacy just punches a button and the bottle drops right out into the icu nurse’s hand. it would be weird to have that at a retail pharmacy, though.

i know at least one retail pharmacy with a robotic filling... cabinet... thing, my friend was the pharmacist there, is that something else?

i mostly know about it because they had just installed it and it had tons of problems and was loving up all the time and he had to manually re-check everything it did because a few times he caught it giving out way too many pills (and once, the wrong pills altogether) so that was fun.

it's a real good scanner, like i can put a stack of 100 papers in the feeder and it will quickly but accurately take them one at a time, scan them, exclude blank ones, flip them to be right-side-up if I hosed it up, and even run ocr on them to make the resulting pdf's text-searchable. then it can just drop the resulting file on a windows file server or ftp server, or email it, or send it directly to a printer so it acts like a copier, without any sort of interaction from a computer or drivers needing to be installed. plus it can be managed using active directory and a central config server, there's a bunch of fine-grained access controls and encryption, even a goddamn sdk if you want to write your own software to run on the scanner (it's got a touch screen interface)

i totally would not pay retail for it even if i was going to use all the features because it's massively overpriced but i got it real cheap on ebay and the only thing i had to do was replace a ~$20 worn-out roller and it's good for another 50,000 pages

it's total overkill for what i'm actually using it for but drat if it isn't fun from a dork-rear end computer janitor perspective

e: i think the reason the hospital or w/e would want it is because it's explicitly hipaa compliant in some way according to the specs, so i'm guessing they're the primary customers

yeah that’s probably something similar if not the pyxis brand thing.

theoretically they can hep reduce misfills but that would mean the pharmacy’s database isn’t a pile of poo poo so lmao. i imagine schedule ii diversion is a bigger problem today than it was when i was a pharm tech 20 years ago.

Thanks for this response, I was curious about it too. As a nerd who frequents The Dorkroom most of my scanner priorities are centered around DPI, but even just the concept of a multi-page feeder is enough to make something like this sound appealing.

I'm glad others have bought up checking internal storage, because that was my second question.

gently caress, pharmaceutical software and security is giving me flashbacks to my summer internship at a security company when I was helping with a pen test of some pharma web app. I'm really glad I worked that job, because it helped me quickly realize that, while I enjoyed the concept of pen testing, it was not what I wanted to do for a career.

oh yeah this is very much just a document scanner, if you kick its dpi up to the eye-watering maximum of 600 whole dots per inch it gets massively slower and a bunch of limits kick in, like you can't use a bunch of the features because (i assume) it can't process stuff that big. however for documents 200 to 300dpi is completely fine, it generates very good scans with that, and it has a weird feature where it will like, scan a small slice of it and determine what dpi it should use to get legible results? not quite sure how that works but so far i like it :shrug:

i have a bunch of mail i've been wanting to scan that i can't get delivered online yet (stuff like the contract for my renter's insurance, something i really want a copy of but at the same time will probably never actually need the physical stack of 50 pages that it's made of) and after using a crummy all in one inkjet printer to do this previously one page at a time, just being able to drop in a big-rear end stack of papers and hit a button is real satisfying

lol no, they're laminated cardstock from a laser printer with a barcode on them, and the barcode encodes the username and nothing else. they'd been using these for years and couldn't understand why we had such a problem with the whole thing. :thumbsup:

my work badge is a piece of plastic with just my name, title, and a low-res image of the company logo that you can probably find an exact .jpg of on our public website. no chips, no barcodes, no photo. this was instituted because some manager(s) with enough clout are obsessed with mass shootings. so yeah now we have to watch an awful training video every year that instructs us to take down an active shooter if we can't escape or hide

oh btw like 80% of people with this type of badge forget to bring it when they come to the central office :thumbsup:

because then we know who is an employee and who isn't, of course. also please note that the building has uncontrolled exterior doors during business hours and has multiple common areas that all tenants can access (there are at least 4 different companies with offices throughout the building). package and food delivery people roam the shared halls freely

oh btw i just remembered the training video has a bit where a dorky looking guy is awkwardly holding a fire extinguisher and hiding around the corner of his cubicle. yeah just hangin out in the office this afternoon, couldn't run from this shooter dude so im gonna wait til he walks by and clock him Solid Snake style. this will totally work because i learned the training and have COMMITTED TO MY ACTIONS just like the video said
