• High Durability and Reliable Paper Handling
Despite a compact desktop design, the KV-
S2048C features a rugged, high durability
design and reliable paper handling. With a
3-million page scanning capability that’s at
the top of its class, this versatile high-speed
scanner provides the extra performance
required for heavy scanning demands, easily
handling a wide range of paper weights from
13.3 Ibs. to 33.9 Ibs. (50 to 127
g/m
2
).
• Reliable Ultrasonic Double-Feed Detection
The KV-S2048C’s double-feed prevention
roller employs an ultrasonic sensor that
detects the double feeding of originals
during scanning. This innovative design
prevents double feeding, and has been
proven effective even when the documents
being scanned contain a mix of paper of
different weights or thickness. Thanks to
double-feed prevention, optimum reliability
is assured even when scanning high-
volume documents.
The Right Stuff — Reliable Document
Support for Any Department
The Panasonic KV-S2048C is the ideal way to upgrade your
department’s document management capabilities. With its
duplex color scanning capability and its consistently reliable
paper handling, the KV-S2048C is ready to handle the
document management needs of virtually any department.
Versatile applications
Eliminate the need to pre-sort
Automatic Binary / Color Distinction
Thanks to Auto Color/Monochrome
Distinction, you can mix color and
monochrome (B/W) originals at the same
time for greater efficiency and reduced
data storage.
Reduce storage space
Blank Page Removal
Blank pages are automatically deleted
during scanning to keep the scanned file
size to a minimum. This allows you to scan
a batch of documents that include blank
pages without the need to eliminate them
during a pre-sorting process.
Eliminate post-processing
Auto Color Cropping/De-Skew
Documents of various sizes can be
scanned without individual paper size
settings. Auto Color Cropping crops the
scanned
image to its
actual size
while Auto
De-Skew
automatically
corrects
skewing.
Readability and accuracy
Dynamic Threshold
With the Dynamic Threshold function, the
background density is automatically detected
section by section and the scan setting
(brightness control) is automatically adjusted
for clearer results as well as OCR accuracy.
