Talk to office workers that are inundated with massive amounts of paper and you’ll hear a consistent set of challenges. They’re desperately seeking a better way to manage documents. They want to work smarter, not harder. And they need to unlock the power of information while saving time and money for their organization to be more successful. Meanwhile, most office managers know they would benefit from implementing programs to reduce paper, but few have developed or executed a plan. According to “Winning the Paper Wars,” a study published by AIIM, “On average, respondents feel that driving paper out of the process would improve speed of response to customers, citizens, or staff by a factor of 4 times.”

To help realize this potential, Kodak Alaris is releasing an updated line of document scanners that reverse the build-up of paper and make businesses more productive. The new KODAK i2420, i2620 and i2820 Scanners build on the award-winning i2000 Series Scanner platform, adding new features and enhancements that address the challenges faced by users with heavy-duty desktop scanning needs.

Improvements to the new desktop scanners include the ability to read up to nine different barcodes types on scanned pages to provide information to applications and databases. Able to scan in duplex and colour and cater for documents up to DIN-A4 in size, the new models also feature larger input trays capable of holding 100 pages and faster scanning speeds of 40, 60 and 70 pages per minute. Daily recommended volumes range from 5,000 to 8,000 pages per day depending on model chosen.

Since its introduction, businesses have embraced the i2000 Scanner line for its combination of productivity and versatility. Dual indirect LED document illumination requires no warm up time and delivers outstanding image quality which means information is captured clearly for more accurate OCR. Integrated Perfect Page technology corrects image imperfections to minimize the need for rescanning with Smart Touch technology allowing specific processes to be programmed for staff to then start multiple step scanning at the touch of a button. This includes creating PDFs, attaching documents to emails, organising them in folders or sending them to Cloud services.

With the inclusion of KODAK Capture Pro Software Limited Edition, users can test the popular application and upgrade to the full version if they need to address more complex batch scanning requirements. “Depending on the application, businesses may face different requirements and restrictions on their handling of paper, but the one thing they have in common is the need to control the paper in their organisation rather than letting it control them,” said Tony Barbeau, Products & Solutions General Manager & Vice President, Information Management division, Kodak Alaris.

The new KODAK i2000 Series Scanners are available today with a list price of £650 for the i2420, £870 for the i2620 and £1,230 for the top of the series, the i2820. All models are backed by a three-year worry free warranty and are compatible with Windows, LINUX and Apple Macintosh operating systems. For exceptional, bound or fragile documents, DIN-A4 and DIN-A3 flatbed optional accessories can be added. In addition, a full range of Service and Support contracts are available to protect your investment and keep productivity at peak levels.
