Kodak's Touch-Screen Document Imaging Marvel

Month Date, 2006: Kodak releases its latest colour touch-screen, networked document imaging device, the Scan Station 100.

According to Kodak, the Scan Station 100 enables sharing of documents via e-mail, routing to network folders, sending to networked printers or copiers, and saving on portable USB drives or any combination of all of these to multiple destinations.

Once the scanning and relaying process has been completed, a confirmation is available to tell the end-user that the routed scan has reached its destination.

Kodak's Polly Ng, Product Marketing Manager, Greater Asia Region, explains that,"The Scan Station 100 does not require a dedicated computer, additional software or training to operate. It can image a wide variety of paper documents of up to 34 inches in length-as well as smaller and thicker items including plastic insurance cards or driver's licenses. It can scan documents into JPEG, TIFF, PDF, or Searchable PDF file formats, using Kodak's Perfect Page technologies to produce high-quality scanned images."

IDC's Program Director, Ron Glaz, is quoted by Kodak and says,"One of the biggest issues all-in-one users face when scanning documents on their multi-function devices is the poor image quality Kodak is addressing this issue head-on by integrating its image-quality features into a networked device that essentially performs similar functions as other multi-function devices when connected to a network."
