The KODAK Scan Station 500 has been enhanced to now offer daily duty cycles of 3000 scans, allowing for the capture of larger volumes of documents in a working day.

Another new feature, remote network administration, makes it easier for IT professionals to manage the applications and settings of multiple scanners from offsite locations.

“Enhanced functionality for the Scan Station 500 helps businesses achieve better efficiency through a multi-functional, easy-to-use networked scanning solution,” said Budd Webster, Business Director, Scanners, Document Imaging, Kodak.

“Government agencies and offices, financial firms, health care facilities, SMBs and other organizations are all examining ways to help their employees work smarter, faster and stronger, to generate a more productive day. At the same time, IT managers in these same companies are seeking solutions for keeping costs low in hardware administration tasks, especially across multiple locations. With the new Scan Station 500 upgrades, businesses can effectively meet both of these requirements.”

The increased daily volume capacity enables the Scan Station 500 to help businesses process larger projects, effectively completing more tasks in a single day. As a networked scanner, the Scan Station 500 saves on costs by eliminating the need for additional PC hardware and software purchases. The scanner essentially serves as a centralized hub for routing documents into network locations, FTP servers, fax, USB drives, networked printers and other external destinations.

Remote administration capabilities have been added into the Scan Station 500, so IT managers and other technicians can more easily perform regularly scheduled, specific maintenance tasks associated with troubleshooting and installations from an off-site location.

The new upgrades build upon the platform of the original Scan Station 500, which offers a Voice Attachment feature to enable personalised audio messages to be sent alongside scanned images.
