A cell phone camera on a gooseneck would do fine. A clean table with even lighting will help the results. I've been telecommuting since the mid 80s. Technology improves. It was 103 modems with rubber ear cups and a swapmeet acquired HeathKit H-19 in 1983. Good enough for the mainframe then. Employers today expect a bed scanner on the computer and ability to use Adobe Acrobat DC with a PKI card to digitally sign documents OR a signed paper scanned back into PDF for transmission via e-mail. That has been a condition of my employment for the last 20 years. My employer only provides the company managed laptop. The rest is at my expense. Printer, scanner, routers, cables, internet service and cell phone are not covered by my employer. My employer does pay for postage and shipping to move packages and documents.
I have many worn out multi-function ink jet printer/scanner/copiers. The printers wear out fast and the ink is expensive. I would recommend a good HP color laser printer/scanner/copier as money well spent. I still use the bed scanner of the old Epson device today, but I'm not putting any more money in the ink jet printer.
Yes, I’m sure the cell phone camera is fine, the quality of the goosenecks (how do they hold up?) might be an issue. I’m in pretty desperate penny-pinching mode @ present. :-(
I’ve owned / used a Canon color laser printer / scanner / copier for several years now. B4 that, had a Samsung, but it crapped out. My flatbed Canon scanner will take bigger docs, tho’, and I like it’s even older interface better, actually.
Pretty much a similar story for the rest, here...
