| Kodak Launches the KODAK i1860 Scanner Kodak announces the launch of the KODAK i1860 Scanner. The KODAK i1860 Scanner captures images at up to 200 pages per minute and features easy-to-use operation through a colour touch screen panel and offers a variety of ergonomic features, including automatic height-adjustment and easy-to-reach input and output areas. The KODAK i1860 Scanner is a suitable solution for paper-intensive environments such as service bureaus, insurance companies and government departments that centrally process claims, or financial institutions that handle high volumes of transactions such as loan and mortgage applications and who have a wide variety of document types, colours, weights and demanding duty cycles. The automatic height adjustment provides the flexibility for the operator to scan while either standing or seated. A user-friendly touch screen panel simplifies on-the-fly performance by putting a variety of controls at the operator's fingertips. Research has shown a correlation between employee comfort and productivity, especially when it comes to adjustable workstations. One study, conducted by Cornell University's Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory, showed that more than 80 percent of participants using an adjustable workstation reported a significant increase in overall productivity. The i1860 scanner includes the capability to pre-scan or post-scan print. There is also a high-resolution printer accessory for use whenever high-resolution pre-scan printing is required, as in some OCR applications—as well as locking side guides to ensure proper imprinting. This feature is a direct response to customers' specific needs. Other features include: • Kodak's Perfect Page imaging technologies for superior image quality • SurePath paper handling for easy document throughput • Image Address • Three independent, ultrasonic, double-document feed detection sensors • Black or white background option • A 500-sheet feeder for optimum capacity • An output hopper that keeps documents in order as they are scanned • FIREWIRE connectivity. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
