Xerox Releases Speedy Scanner

May 7, 2008: Xerox has introduced a new scanner that it says can deliver 50 percent faster throughput than its peers, and excellent ID card scanning capabilities.

The new DocuMate 262i is small enough to fit on a desktop and includes ultrasonic double-feed detection technology, giving it the ability to scan 76 images a minute.

Designed for healthcare and financial applications and specifically for scanning of plastic ID cards, business cards, documents or other heavy card stock, the 262i features a new front-feed tray that increases ID card scanning efficiency, but also reduces roller wear by up to 60 percent according to Xerox.

The DocuMate 262i also includes ultrasonic double-feed detection technology that will alert the user if double feeding of originals occurs during scanning.

“The DocuMate 262i’s combination of price and performance is unmatched. It scans 50 percent faster than similarly priced competitive products,” said Murray L. Dennis, president and CEO of Visioneer, a Xerox licensing partner and developer of the DocuMate product line.

“It also incorporates Visioneer OneTouch technology, an exclusive utility that connects the button on your scanner with powerful software drivers so that with one touch your document is automatically scanned and delivered to any destination you choose.”
