Visioneer Patriot 780 High Speed A3 Production Scanner Rated at 80 IPM for Under $5000; Visioneer Brings GSA/TAA-Compliant A3 Scanning to Government Agencies Below the $5,000 Mark.

PHILADELPHIA -- Visioneer, a leader in intelligent imaging solutions, today announced at the AIIM Conference and Exposition a new GSA/TAA-compliant high-speed, flatbed/ADF scanner designed to address production scanning needs for a broad range of vertical business applications. The Visioneer Patriot(TM) 780 is equipped with an A3-sized flatbed that can accommodate documents up to 11.7" x 17" on the glass or through the automatic document feeder. It scans 80 images per minute (ipm) for double-sided documents and the included software bundle allows users to automatically scan to searchable PDF, which greatly enhances both indexing and archiving processes since the scanned document is already searchable by content. By combining the Visioneer Patriot 780, the Visioneer 470 and upcoming new products announcements in June, Visioneer will form a broad line of scanners under the Patriot name that span from the workgroup to departmental to production segments specifically for U.S. Government agencies and private sector users who require GSA/TAA-compliant products.

The Visioneer Patriot 780 will be shown for the first time during the AIIM Conference and Exposition in Philadelphia, this week, in Visioneer's booth #201.

"The Patriot 780 is the only duplex A3 flatbed production scanner available today for under $5000," said Don F. McMahan, executive vice president of sales, marketing and support at Visioneer. "We are very pleased that we can now offer our customers a single vendor solution for all of their document capture requirements -- from workgroup all the way up to low-volume production scanners."
