A new production-level scanner from Fujitsu, the fi-6800, promises to boost automation, productivity and efficiency throughout the entire scanning process. Its small footprint also allows it take its places as a scanner in front-office environments.

The Fujitsu fi-6800 (A$19,990 ex. GST) offers scanning speeds of 130 ppm/260 ipm at 200 or 300 dpi (colour, grayscale or monochrome) and quiet operation for use in the front-office environment. Its paper-feed mechanism is evolved from the company’s top-of-the-line Fujitsu fi-5950 scanner, offering advanced paper and multi-feed protection functions.

An Intelligent Multi-Feed Function (iMFF) allows for instant detection of a multi-feed or multilayer document, such as taped-on receipts or sticky notes added to a document. This function transports the document that has caused the alert to the exit path of the scanner, and presents the physical document as well as the scanned front and back images to the user so they can decide whether rescanning is required.

For uninterrupted processing of document batches, an Automatic Image Quality Checker (aIQC) virtually marks images with potential missing data, such as folded corners, and those that might show multi-feed incidences, allowing the user to then check through these earmarked images and either validate or re-scan to the same position in the image order.

The fi-6800 can be adapted to preferred processes and preferences. Scanner status and settings are presented and changed on an easy to navigate LCD panel, which can be programmed in seven different languages.

The scanner's small footprint (30x4645cm) allows fodesktop placement in front-office environments.

The fi-6800 comes factory-equipped with Kofax VRS 4.5 Professional with enhanced bar code recognition, ScandAll PRO 1.8 with Connect to Microsoft SharePoint to enable document sharing and collaboration, Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard, and TWAIN and ISIS drivers.

For more sophisticated capture requirements, the fi-6800 integrates into Enterprise Content Management and Document Management solutions.

In addition to the Kofax VRS Professional software included with the new scanner, the fi-6800 comes equipped with the Kofax VRS 4.5 Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) board, providing image processing functionality and performance.

The new ultra-bright LED lamp technology incorporated into the fi-6800 design helps significantly decrease its power consumption, and the scanner uses less than 4W while in sleep mode. Upon power-on, the scanner is ready to start operating within seconds, making it ideal when small batches of documents need to be scanned at frequent intervals throughout the day, while also keeping demands on energy as low as possible. Additionally, the start-up time from sleep mode to scan is less than six seconds.
