Kodak Scan Station 100
Walk-up network scanner that gives consistently good results
Take a top selling colour scanner, bolt on a PC and a touch-sensitive colour screen and you've effectively got a Kodak Scan Station 100. However, the real thing also has one or two extras that make it a lot more than a mere sum of those parts.
The first of those extras is the ability to swallow up to 1,000 pages a day; scan each side at a rate of 50 sides per minute; automatically de-skew the resultant images and -- courtesy of Kodak's Perfect Page image processing technology -- give readable results with even the most, blurred, ragged and tatty of originals.
The Station 100 can decipher the content of documents being scanned and save the results in searchable Pdf files as well as create the more usual Tiff and Jpeg images.
And last, but by no means least, it can email scanned files, send them over the network to a printer and save them to a network share or USB memory stick. All this is done from the touch-sensitive screen using an interface that can be customised to suit different users.
