ScanSnap cloud upgrades
PFU (EMEA) has added new partners
to the ScanSnap Cloud: Expensify,
Intuit, Concur and Shoeboxed.
ScanSnap Cloud is a free service that
enables users of ScanSnap iX100 and
iX500 document scanners to directly
scan documents to cloud applications
without needing a computer or
mobile device. It intelligently sorts
and routes data directly to cloud-
based services of the user’s choice.
Together with the cloud services that are
already available for the ScanSnap Cloud
ecosystem, these new additions offer users
of ScanSnap iX100 and iX500 a broad
variety of cloud applications to choose
from. In addition, PFU also added new
functionalities to the ScanSnap Cloud that
help streamline the capture process.

Smart document sorting
The Kodak i5650S and i5850S scanners
offer three pocket sorting designed
for the extreme scanning demands of
service bureaus, BPOs and corporate
mailrooms. Combining smart sorting
with high speed throughput and superior
image quality leads to increased
productivity and significantly lower
document capture costs.
With excellent processing speed from
180 - 210 pages per minute, additional
features include – advanced exception
handling, including Interactive Multifeed
Recovery, which increases hourly throughput.
Intelligent imprinting to enable tracking of
each document from the time it is scanned
until it is recycled or returned to the
customer and three output trays (two front
and one rear) to provide a separate place for
collecting exception documents and reusable
patch documents.

enables faster, simpler extraction
of text from documents and objects
placed in the live video stream from
smartphone and mobile device
cameras.
The Real-Time Recognition SDK
complements ABBYY’s portfolio of tools that
simplify capture, digitisation, and extraction
of data. ABBYY’s offering ranges from
mobile-based information capture and OCR

Kodak Alaris achieves EPEAT
Silver level
Kodak Alaris has registered an
additional eight scanners at the
Silver level in the Electronic Product
Environmental Assessment Tool
(EPEAT), the definitive global registry
for greener electronics.
With the addition of the Kodak ScanMate
i940, i1150 and i1150WN Scanners; the
i1190, i1190E and i1190WN Scanners; and
the Scan Station 710 and 730EX, all 28
scanners in its range have now achieved
Silver level status on the EPEAT registry (in
the US).
The environmental criteria underlying
the EPEAT system address the full product
lifecycle, from design and production, to
energy use and recycling. To be added to the
EPEAT registry, imaging equipment products
must meet all applicable requirements from
the list of 33 environmental performance
criteria. There are also up to 26 additional
optional criteria which determines a
product’s rating of Bronze, Silver or Gold.
BLI award winners
Canon, HP, Kodak Alaris and Visioneer
have been recognised by Buyers Lab
(BLI) in the Summer 2017 Pick and
Outstanding Achievement awards in
the scanner category.
Canon imageFORMULA ScanFront
400, said to bring tablet-style ease of use
to workgroup scanning won Outstanding
Workgroup Scanner.
Ease of use, very good image quality
and flawless reliability during BLI’s 37,500-
page test helped the HP ScanJet Enterprise
Flow 7000 s3 Sheet-feed scanner win the
Outstanding Departmental Scanner Pick
award in its segment.
Perfect reliability and low TCO put Kodak
Alaris on top. The Kodak i3500 scooped
the Outstanding Light-Production Scanner
accolade, BLI said the unit offers flexible
media handling, as well as a total cost of
ownership that’s less than half the average
for devices in its class that BLI has tested.
Visioneer Active Reversing Rollers
Technology picked up the Outstanding
Achievement in Innovation award. Tested
in the company’s Patriot H60 and H80
scanners, the design has two sets of rollers
that are being driven independently by two
separate motors, rather than using friction
or spring-loaded mechanisms to separate
pages. This means the devices can be more
precise when feeding pages.
