Kodak has announced the launch of its i2900 Scanner as well as new capture and workflow software and solutions, Info Activate and Info Insight.

The KODAK i2900 Scanner is a compact unit designed to help the introduction of document management for a variety of business functions including finance, operations, legal, sales and human resources.  

With a small footprint size of 43.2 x 37.1cm, the i2900 combines a rotary scanner with a higher than average capacity feeder and a built-in book-edge flatbed scanner. This eliminates the need for two scanners on a desktop, offering a more compact setup for capturing images from book pages, magazines, folders and passports as well as applications, forms, invoices and other flat documents.

“The i2900 Scanner performs as a single desktop solution with customized setups, shortcuts and other automated features to handle up to A4 size documents,” said Budd Webster, Business Director for Scanners and Document Imaging Category Management. “This powerful scanner delivers a rich, user-oriented experience that helps businesses redefine productivity.”

Its graphic user panel displays messages that relate to job name or job status. Businesses may customize these messages to request additional action related to scanned documents. Software integrators and providers can also use the intuitive feature to simplify how their application works with the i2900 by displaying job shortcuts assigned to preconfigured settings such as colour, file type and file destination.

The i2900 also comes equipped with Kodak’s Perfect Page technology, which delivers automatic image adjustments to further increase user productivity. Perfect Page finely tunes imaging and scanning characteristics to ensure optimal clarity and accuracy.

The i2900 Scanner includes Kodak’s Intelligent Document Protection feature, which extends the paper jam protection provided from Kodak’s Ultrasonic Multi-Feed detection. The new capability helps protect documents from physical damage by automatically pausing the paper transport and allowing the user to take appropriate action if the scanner detects the start of damage to a document.

The i2900 includes a 250-sheet feeder/elevator and boasts handling speeds of up to 60 pages per minute (ppm) at either 200 or 300 dots per inch (dpi) image quality in both coloor and black and white settings. A selectable rear-exit paper path serves as an ideal option for larger or thicker documents that pose a challenge for traditional rotary scanners.

The i2900 Scanner can also attach to a post-scan rear-side imprinter. Dual LED illumination enables quick scanning starts and helps to ensure image clarity and color stability. The i2900 is compatible with TWAIN, ISIS and Linux-based scanning applications.

“The i2900 series are exciting products for the Australian and New Zealand markets as they fit squarely into many vertical applications such as invoice automation, claims processing or even just general office scanning, as well as industry segments such as health, insurance finance, and government,” said Yanga. 

“The many software and hardware products we are releasing this year re-affirms Document Imaging’s commitment and continued investment to innovation”.
