Canon U.S.A., Inc., the leader in imaging systems solutions, has introduced the RFS (Remote File System) A distributed file system for Unix computers introduced by AT&T in 1986 with Unix System V Release 3.0. It is similar to Sun's NFS, but only for Unix systems. 1000 -- a hybrid system which combines the benefits of Canon's reliable analog document microfilming and digital scanning technologies. Three recording modes - film, scan or hybrid - capture images at up to 90 pages-per-minute to offer exceptional document management flexibility, while network connectivity enhances workgroup productivity.

"Canon specifically designed this system to respond to the special needs of the U.S. market," said Robert J. Stankard, director and general manager, Canon U.S.A.'s Image Filing Systems Division. "We believe that customers in the government and financial markets will be especially pleased with the system's capabilities and flexibility. The seamless migration from analog to digital is the foundation of our 'Canon Connects' philosophy, empowering knowledge workers with the equipment necessary for enhanced productivity."

The RFS1000 microfilms documents, in either simplex or duplex modes, on 16mm roll film at one of four reduction ratios. It can also scan both single- and two-sided documents and store them digitally at up to 200 dots-per-inch (dpi) resolution.

In the hybrid mode, images are filmed and scanned simultaneously. With a single pass the RFS creates high-quality, archival microfilm A continuous film strip that holds several thousand miniaturized document pages. See micrographics.
