Fujitsu has announced PaperStream IP (PSIP), a new intelligent image enhancement driver designed for its "fi-series" document imaging scanner line in order  to maximize automation, productivity and efficiency throughout their document capture processes.

PaperStream IP is equipped with both a TWAIN and ISIS interface to integrate with the myriad of scanning applications on the market today. Its image enhancement capabilities accelerate optical character recognition (OCR) and reduce re-scan and driver adjustments without any sacrifice to scanner speed. 

Additionally, PSIP can easily be deployed to a fleet of scanners via the Fujitsu Scanner Central Admin, providing control over the document capture process and reducing downtime.

Specialised features such as edge repair fill in torn and ripped paper, while multi-stream capability provides for fast output of different colour formats simultaneously without slowing down scans, and blur correction for smooth dot matrix print and better OCR and reproduction. Additional features of PSIP include:

--  Preset Profiles:  utilising advanced features such as auto orientation, blank page removal, deskew, and hole punch removal. Setup time is also kept to a minimum.

--  Assisted Scanning: In instances when a document's background is not automatically cleaned up, the Assisted Scan provides nine distinct cleaned up images. Users simply select the image that looks best. There is no need for technical prowess or the driver.

--  Real-Time Preview: For complex documents that require their own specialized profiles, the Real-Time Preview functionality eliminates the need to rescan documents as changes are immediately made.

--  Fast Scanning: Having a small usage footprint of approximately 100MB, PSIP takes advantage of the PC's multicore processor to perform powerful cleanup without compromising throughput. PaperStream IP also provides 64-bit support for the latest generation of advanced scanning applications.

--  Patch & Barcode Recognition: In conjunction with scanning applications, PSIP recognizes all of the most common patch codes including, 1-4, 6 & T, as well as both one and two dimensional barcodes such as Code 3 of 9, Code 128 and QR Code, allowing users to prepare and organize batches for faster electronic filing.

Fujitsu business scanners are available from distributor Proscan (proscan.com.au) and other resellers.
