Kodak Launches New Document Scanners An optical scanner geared to office documents rather than photographs. Also called "office scanners," "enterprise scanners" and "business scanners," desktop models have automatic document feeders that can scan in the range of approximately 15 to 100 pages per minute.  

As the market leader in mid- and high-volume document scanners worldwide, Kodak is launching three new scanners at AIIM ON DEMAND:

--The KODAK i55 and i65 Scanners offer improved bitonal and color performance, increased speed and productivity, and added flexibility for companies, organizations and governmental agencies with daily volume requirements of 1,000 pages. The i55 is simplex; the i65 duplex. Both distributed capture scanners have built-in flatbeds.

--The black-and-white-only KODAK i610 Scanner features speeds up to 80 pages per minute and has a peak daily volume of 60,000 pages. The newest member of the award-winning KODAK i600 Series, the i610 can be upgraded to color scanning and higher speed, as an enterprise's needs change.
