Kodak Alaris takes a bite of the Apple

Editorial Type: News     Date: 12-2014    Views: 3755   






Expanding scope of scanner range

Kodak Alaris has announced the free availability of MACINTOSH drivers for thirteen of its high-performance document and photo scanners which broadens platform support for customers using MAC computers within their organisations. With the free download, a wide range of Kodak Alaris’ feature-rich document imaging scanners are now compatible with APPLE’S OS X operating system as well as MICROSOFT WINDOWS and LINUX.

“Historically, PC users have had far more choice than MAC users when shopping for compatible document scanners,” said Tony Barbeau, Products & Solutions General Manager and Vice President, Document Imaging, Kodak Alaris. “But scanning happens in mixed-platform environments and users have their own preferences. We are committed to supporting business scanning applications, regardless of whether the PC or MAC platform is preferred. Users can now make their own choice.”

Kodak Alaris has a 25-year track record of innovation and success, launching its first scanner in 1989. Since then, more than 1 million scanners have been shipped, with Kodak Alaris setting new standards in image quality enhancement with its broad range of hardware, software and services for document imaging.

As part of the free MAC driver download for existing and new customers, Kodak Alaris is also including NEWSOFT’S PRESTO! PAGEMANAGER version 9, which integrates Kodak Alaris’ Perfect Page image processing and makes it extraordinarily simple to scan, organize and share information in a business scanning environment. The software allows users to create, edit and manage PDF files without requiring other applications or file conversion software.

The following scanners from Kodak Alaris are now compatible with MAC computers:

• Desktop – the KODAK SCANMATE i940, i1150 and i1180 Scanners, as well as the KODAK i2000 Series Scanners. The i2000 Series features a “stow-or-go” design, which allows users to store the scanner upright when not in use and pull it out for scanning as needed so it doesn’t interfere with daily activities.

• Production – All KODAK i3000 Series Scanners, including the innovative i3450, an A3 low-volume production scanner with integrated A4 flatbed built in.

• Photo scanning – both KODAK Picture Saver Scanner Systems, the PS 50 and 80, which allow users to scan up to 85 photos a minute.

“Traditionally the realm of MICROSOFT, APPLE is targeting the enterprise far more today,” concluded Barbeau. “With the launch of our new MAC drivers, professional-class scanners are available to suit every customer need. Removing paper and incorporating documents digitally into workflows boosts productivity and reduces costs for practically all organizations seeking to increase efficiency.”
