Share:
Faster Scanning Speeds, Central Administration Capabilities, Intelligent Multi-Feed Function (iMFF), Enhanced Paper Protection Technology and Latest Kofax® VRS® Professional Software Highlight Industry Leading Workgroup Scanners
SUNNYVALE, Calif., -- Fujitsu, the market leader in document imaging scanners, today introduced the next generation of its high performance workgroup scanning solutions, including the Fujitsu fi-6130Z, fi-6140Z, fi-6230Z, and fi-6240Z. The new scanners continue to elevate the unmatched performance and innovative document imaging features of their best-in-class predecessors - the top-selling Fujitsu fi-6130, fi-6140, fi-6230 and fi-6240.
The new Fujitsu fi-6140Z and fi-6240Z (flatbed model) scanners deliver top-rated scanning speeds of 60 ppm / 120 ipm at 200 dpi (color, grayscale, monochrome), and the Fujitsu fi-6130Z and fi-6230Z (flatbed model) provide 40 ppm / 80 ipm at 200 dpi. Moreover, Fujitsu has equipped the new high performance, distributed and front-office document scanners with intelligent features and functionality allowing customers to boost automation, productivity and efficiency including:
-- Scanner Central Admin: The new centralized administration functionality
dramatically reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) and work that
goes into setting up, operating and maintaining multiple Fujitsu
scanners in an organization. This new feature allows users to monitor
scanner running status, update scanner drivers, check consumable status,
and more, all over a network, from one location.
-- Intelligent Multi-Feed Function (iMFF): iMFF provides instant detection
of a multi-feed or multilayer document, such as taped-on receipts or
sticky notes added to a document. This technology allows users to remain
productive under demanding scanning conditions while also preserving the
benefits of the scanner's ultrasonic double-feed detection to secure
against lost images.
-- Enhanced Paper Protection: A new advanced encoder inside the document
feeder analyzes each passing sheet and stops scanner operation when an
irregularity is detected during a page feed, helping to avoid document
damage and increase pre and post scan operational efficiency.
"The latest high performance workgroup scanners added to our line of document imaging solutions look to continue the company's product evolution and innovation in the workgroup segment," said Scott Francis, vice president of marketing, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "Fujitsu has always focused on delivering the best solutions that address the changing needs of our customers. The new fi-series workgroup product line looks to continue the success of their predecessors which have sold over 1.5 million units worldwide."
"Fujitsu is the document imaging market leader in terms of unit shipments and revenues and has maintained this distinction for a long time due to its ability to continually introduce scanning solutions equipped with the latest features and functionality," said Anne Valaitis, Associate Director at InfoTrends. "Distributed scanning continues to be a sweet spot for the document imaging industry and the new line of scanners from Fujitsu is a welcome addition for organizations that are moving to a more distributed, decentralized business process."
New Ways to Scan, Upgraded Software Bundles
The Fujitsu fi-6130Z, fi-6140Z, fi-6230Z, and fi-6240Z scanners integrate the latest innovative scanning features and applications and conveniently include everything in the box to get organizations up and scanning quickly and easily. Additional key features of the new high performance workgroup scanners include:
-- Kofax® VRS® 5.0 Professional: The new version of Kofax VRS
Professional reduces the time involved in manual document preparation
and enhances the quality of scanned images, dramatically improving both
manual scanning productivity and the efficiency of document capture
processes. Kofax VRS Professional greatly improves the accuracy of OCR
(Optical Character Recognition) document data extraction and provide
customers with enhanced scanning functionality including automatic color
detection, image orientation, paper deskew, paper size detection and
blank page detection/removal.
-- Enhanced Version of ScandALL PRO Batch Scanning and PDF Edit Software:
The automatic job separation function of ScandALL PRO V2.0 uses divider
sheets with printed barcodes and patch codes to sort image data from
multiple page feeds into user-defined units. This function has been
enhanced to recognize a wider range of 1D barcodes (linear barcodes),
allowing for a broader range of sorting possibilities for output image
files. ScandALL PRO V2.0 Premium, bundled exclusively with fi-6140Z and
fi-6240Z, features job separation using 2D barcodes (matrix codes) and
is available as an option to fi-6130Z and fi-6230Z users.
-- Advanced Hard Card and Non-Traditional Document Support: The new models
allow for the use of a carrier sheet for digitizing a variety of
document types such as large paper sizes (up to A3), ultra thin or small
documents, magazine pages and photos. The scanners are also equipped
with enhanced embossed card scanning capability, such as plastic ID
cards and insurance cards (up to 1.4mm thick), and allow feeding of up
to three hard cards in either landscape or portrait orientation through
its 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF).
-- Post Imprinter: The new models offer a post imprinter option for users
with demanding document management and verification needs. The imprinter
unit prints identification markers like dates, alphanumeric codes and
symbols on the reverse side of the original document. This makes it
easier to locate the original scanned document when needed for
reference.
-- "ScanSnap Mode" Function: The new "ScanSnap Mode" gives users that
prefer the "one-button," driverless experience of the award-winning line
of ScanSnap scanners an alternative ad-hoc approach to being productive
through scanning.
