Eastman Kodak Company has introduced the new Kodak i80 Scanner – the latest in its family of departmental scanners – which will be available in late summer 2003. The i80 Scanner is ideal for business departments with a wide variety of document capture and management needs.
“The i80 Scanner demonstrates our commitment to the departmental scanning market and slots into our range between the i60 and the recently successfully introduced i200 series,” said Robert Bijster, Marketing Manager of Kodak´s Commercial Imaging Components business in Europe, Africa and Middle East. “Kodak's history of designing leading-edge capture products, plus our global Kodak Service & Support team, supports customer needs as we expand our presence in this market.”
With features including automatic deskew (squaring up documents during scanning) and autocropping (removal of unwanted borders to render the image to its actual size and thereby optimise file size) available for the first time in a Kodak departmental scanner, the i80 is the right choice for all document management systems, optical character recognition, archiving, web publishing and many other scanning applications. The scanner is also ideal for single user installations, as well as in large organisations with networked applications.
The i80 Scanner offers bitonal and colour performance with the convenience of simultaneously capturing both sides of a document in a single pass - duplex scanning. With a 600 dpi resolution, the precision optics and the CCD-sensor provide crisp, exact reproduction of any document. The document background can toggle from white to black, whilst bundled Kodak Capture Software, Lite enables de-skew and cropping.
The i80 Scanner also features the drop out colour function. Red, green or blue can be suppressed, which is advantageous when scanning forms for ease and speed of reading.
The i80 Scanner captures documents, photos and colour graphics at speeds up to 35 pages per minute (ppm), with a true duplex speed of 70 images per minute (ipm) at 200 dpi. Colour images are captured at 20 ppm (simplex) and 20 ipm (duplex) at 150 dpi. The i80 Scanner’s document feeder handles up to 75 sheets at a time in a wide range of sizes and weights. The scanner has an automatic document feeder and handles volumes of up to 1,500 pages per day. In addition, the scanner features a built-in flatbed for scanning exception documents like books and magazines.
The new i80 Scanners feature bundled ISIS® and TWAIN drivers as well as application software for document capture with de-skew and cropping, scan to PDF and TIFF (Kodak Capture Software, Lite). For document management (PaperPort), text recognition (TextBridge) and photo management (PhotoSuite SE).
