Kodak A3 Flat Bed Now Available

Eastman Kodak Company announces that following the launch of its i1400 series scanner range for small to medium sized businesses, an A3 flat bed accessory is now available. This is attached to the main unit by means of a 1.8m tethered USB cable allowing the flat bed to be positioned away from the actual scanner unit or quickly unplugged and stored out of the way when not needed. It is capable of up to 600dpi optical resolution and is ideal for exception scanning of larger bound documents, books and magazines.

For the first time, this flat bed can also be used with all i1200 or i1300 series scanners providing a cross platform "mix and match" capability unique in the marketplace. This means that both the i1200/i1300 series and i1400 series can now be fitted with the same A4 or A3 flat beds, offering maximum flexibility, depending upon business requirements.

The A3 flat bed also supports Kodak Smart Touch technology auto-enabling up to 9 quick and easy functions such as scan-to-email and scan-to-searchable PDF, using the Start button, to help maximise productivity.

With their very small footprint and robust design, the i1200/i1300 series have enabled Kodak's continued growth in the desktop scanning market with the i1400 series models also being extremely well received. Kodak offers both simplex and duplex models in all ranges, with various options in terms of the amount of paper which can be scanned each day. This varies from 3,000 pages per day at the lower end to 10,000 for those companies needing more throughput.

All scanner models come with Kodak's enhanced Perfect Page image processing technology to ensure high quality scanned images independent of original document quality.
