OREANDA-NEWS. Today the new fi-7180/fi-7280 and fi-7160/fi-7260 document scanners have been launched in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa). With its new series of scanners, Fujitsu is pursuing a comprehensive approach to document scanning: hardware and supporting software finely tuned to work together for perfect results. Featuring the new Fujitsu PaperStream IP driver and image enhancement software PaperStream Capture, the new generation of scanners will boost both efficiency and quality in the scanning of documents.

Fujitsu devised the whole package to make clean, compact, and clear digital images from a wide range of document types, saving users' time and demonstrating Fujitsu's commitment to making document capture simple. The new models can capture up to 80 sheets/160 pages per minute (A4, colour, double-sided, 300 dpi) placing them amongst the fastest scanners for knowledge workers' desktops. At launch, users have the choice between two pure ADF scanners (fi-7160 and fi-7180) and two models that feature an integrated flatbed unit (fi-7260 and fi-7280).

"We have devised a completely new package of hardware and software for our new generation of fi Series scanners. The components are perfectly complementary and coordinated from the ground up", says Mike Nelson, General Manager for Sales and Marketing at PFU Imaging Solutions Europe Ltd. "We have optimised the capture process so that users can now integrate important information into downstream document-management processes more quickly and without the need for special training."

Both hardware and software are equally important in the new Fujitsu fi-7180/fi-7280 and fi-7160/fi-7260 scanners. The newly developed PaperStream IP driver and image processing middleware combined with the PaperStream Capture software offer simplified and automated batch scanning routines that intelligently convert batches of documents into predetermined work routines. "Together, our new hardware and PaperStream software delivers images of extraordinary quality and a capture process that produces optimum results that can flow directly into your business processes", explains Klaus Schulz, Manager of Product Marketing for EMEA at PFU Imaging Solutions.
