Scan
WHAT WE LIKED:
•
Color scanning capability that offers more diverse
production scanning capabilities than those offered by
rivals restricted to monochrome scanning functionality.
•
Color dropout capability allows users to remove
unwanted backgrounds, highlighted edits to text
documents, and other areas where color can have a
negative impact on scanning workflow.
•
The large touch screen makes feature selection and
manual entry of data faster than rival units.
•
The High Compression PDF mode reduces file sizes
significantly, which will reduce the risk of firewall rejection
and increase transmission rates.
•
The high degree of message personalization provides
for a higher rate of opening/reading by the recipient.
•
Extensive security capabilities, including PDF encryption
and permission settings, make communications more
secure and users less at risk of personal information data
breaches.
•
Batch and Mixed Media modes allow complex mixed
document sets to be combined into a single scan job
more easily than rival units.
•
Preview mode allows users to check that each page of a
scanned document has been captured before releasing
the job to the destination.
•
The scan and store function stores the document on the
Document Server and emails a link to the recipient,
allowing them to make the decision when to download
the data.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE:
•
A searchable PDF creation format that converts hard
copy into structured electronic information is available
only with the GlobalScan option.
•
The Mixed Media mode should be more efficient. While a
useful feature, it resulted in users spending a significantly
longer time at the device compared to using the default
auto setting.
•
A single-pass, straight path duplexing scanner would
reduce the curvature and stress placed on originals
during scanning, resulting in more reliable scanning of
delicate and tough originals plus offer more productive
duplex scanning speeds versus the traditional reversing
design used in the device.
•
Faster scanning in High Compression PDF mode would
give users the full benefit of the mode without sacrificing
user productivity.
•
The ability to delete and replace scanned pages with
errors during the preview phase would further streamline
ad hoc scanning carried out in the general office.
•
The ability to scan directly to external storage devices
such as USB memory sticks or SD digital camera cards
would provide valuable ad-hoc hard copy to electronic
capabilities in remote areas such as hotels, airport
lounges, hotel business centers, and would be useful for
mobile users without instant access to laptops or PCs.
•
The ability to combine 1-bit and 8-bit scanning into a
single batch would allow the color dropout utility and the
more bandwidth friendly black 1-bit scanning to be
intertwined with higher image capture 8-bit modes for
images and illustrations.
•
Multistreaming scanning would take full advantage of the
added data capture benefit offered by the color scanning
capability with the lower bandwidth and greater
manageability of the monochrome scan functionality.
