Fujitsu Introduces Its Next Generation Workgroup Scanner Line Featuring Advanced Paper Handling Technology and Faster Scanner Speeds

Incorporating Innovative Features such as Acoustic Paper Protection & Skew Prevention Technology, the Fujitsu fi-7000 Series Raises the Bar for Industry Leading Workgroup Scanner Line

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu, the market leader in document imaging scanners, today announced the availability of its next generation, high performance workgroup scanning solutions designed for small and midsize businesses (SMBs), and front-office and distributed scanning applications. The Fujitsu fi-7160, fi-7180, fi-7260, and fi-7280 succeed its best-in-class and top-selling workgroup predecessors - the Fujitsu fi-6130Z, fi-6140Z, fi-6230Z, and fi-6240Z - offering new paper protection and image processing capabilities and the fastest speeds in their class, allowing users to further boost automation, productivity and efficiency.

Delivering an astounding 80 ppm / 160 ipm at 300 dpi (color, grayscale, monochrome) the new Fujitsu fi-7180 and fi-7280 (flatbed model) scanners double the scanning speeds of their predecessors and come equipped with USB 3.0 connectivity and two-dimensional barcode recognition providing uncompromised speed and performance. The Fujitsu fi-7160 and fi-7260 (flatbed model) also provide blazing fast scanning speeds of 60 ppm / 120 ipm at 300 dpi and include an expanded 80-page automatic document feeder (ADF). The new scanner line also incorporates unique intelligent document imaging features and time-saving tools to increase scanning efficiency and reliability including:

    --  Innovative Acoustic Paper Protection: A first for Fujitsu scanners,
        acoustic sensors can detect a paper feeding error by monitoring the
        sound of a document as it passes through the scanner. If any
        irregularity is detected during a page feed like a stapled batch, the
        acoustic sensors will automatically stop the scan, helping to protect
        the original scanned documents.
    --  "Skew Reducer" Function: For improved paper-feeding and image
        processing, the scanners' "skew reducer" functionality detects the
        alignment of your scanned documents and physically corrects paper skews
        so mixed batches of various paper sizes can be scanned reliably.
    --  Advanced Hard Card and Non-Traditional Document Support: The new models
        are capable of digitizing a variety of document types such as large
        paper sizes (up to A3 and 18.3 feet in length) and ultra thin documents
        (as low as 0.033mm). The scanners are also equipped with enhanced
        embossed card scanning capability, such as plastic ID cards and
        insurance cards (up to 1.4mm thick), and allow feeding of up to three
        hard cards in either landscape or portrait orientation.
    --  Advanced Controls: The adjustable, easy to read interactive LCD panel
        provides the ultimate control to customize and access advanced scanning
        features such as paper protection, pick speeds, vertical streak
        reduction, iMFF settings, pre-pick, and power savings, allowing users to
        get more out of their scanner, faster than ever before.
    --  Intelligent Multi-Feed Function (iMFF): iMFF provides the ability to
        automatically bypass documents containing sticky notes, taped receipts,
        and labels while still protecting against lost images. In manual mode,
        mixed batches that include envelopes can be scanned with easy user
        interaction to maintain data integration and high scanner throughput.
    --  Improved Start-Up Time and a Green Design: The power-on time has been
        reduced significantly to less than 4 seconds and the new ultra-bright
        LED lamp technology incorporated into the workgroup scanner line helps
        significantly decrease its power consumption. The improved start-up time
        makes 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.
"We're proud to call our high performance workgroup scanners the heavyweights of the industry," said Scott Francis, senior vice president of marketing, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "We have never rested on our laurels, continuing to innovate and introduce scanning solutions equipped with the latest unique features and functionality for our customers. In fact, the feedback we get from our customers drives us to always provide the very best products and lead the industry by example. We think the new line of workgroup scanners from Fujitsu meets these high expectations."

Advanced Image Enhancement and Capture Solutions
The Fujitsu fi-7160, fi-7180, fi-7260, and fi-7280 scanners include new advanced image processing and capture applications, including PaperStream IP (PSIP) and PaperStream Capture (PSC), providing users with the most powerful, efficient and easy-to-use image enhancement solutions to get organizations up and scanning quickly and easily.

    --  High Quality Imaging Processing with PaperStream IP: Designed for the
        Fujitsu fi-series scanner line, PaperStream IP provides users with a
        powerful, intelligent image correction solution allowing documents to be
        automatically and easily converted into exceptionally clean images,
        accelerating OCR (optical character recognition) and nearly eliminating
        driver adjustments.
    --  Advanced Scanning Made Easy with PaperStream Capture: PaperStream
        Capture gives users the ability to complete advanced scanning processes
        quicker and easier than ever before. Developed to expand the
        capabilities of ScandAll PRO, PaperStream Capture is equipped with a
        streamlined user interface to reduce training time and increase
        productivity when adjusting scanner settings and performing batch scans.
        PSC also seamlessly integrates with PaperStream IP's assisted scanning
        for visual cleanup of documents. The reading of barcodes and patch codes
        make batch separation easy, improving document organization.
    --  Scanner Central Admin: The centralized administration functionality
        dramatically reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) and work that
        goes into setting up, operating and maintaining multiple Fujitsu
        scanners in an organization. This feature allows users to monitor
        scanner running status, update scanner drivers, check consumable status,
        and more, all over a network, from one location.
