COVER STORY
In a world of uncertainty, one
thing you can be sure of is that
in 2017 the digitalisation of
business and the removal of paper
from key business workflows will
accelerate.
While many organisations
aspire to go completely paper-free,
the reality is that processes will
continue to involve paper to some
extent, because that is what the
customer prefers, because paper is
needed for signatures, or because
suppliers, customers and prospects
are themselves at different stages
of digitisation and still produce and
distribute large volumes of paper.
Even if a business does digitise
its workflow, for years to come it
will need to access and refer to
information and records that reside
on paper.
Scanners that convert printed or
handwritten information into digital
formats that can be processed,
shared and stored electronically
are a key component of any
digitisation project, whether used
in the mailroom for scanning
inbound correspondence, paper
forms, invoices, cheques and the
like; in the records management
department for importing old
documents into an electronic
content management system;
or in the open office for ad
hoc scanning of receipts,
business cards and other
items that are best managed
digitally but are still often
received in printed form.
Do more
Panasonic has developed
its new KV-S81 Series of
A3 duplex scanners to help
businesses with high volume
scanning requirements be more
efficient and more productive.
There are two models in the
range, both capable of scanning
a two-sided document in a single
pass at speeds of 140 pages per
minute (ppm) or 280 images per
minute (ipm) on the KV-S8147
and 120ppm/240ipm on the KV-
S8127.
The scanners come with a large
automatic document feeder that
can hold up to 750 A4 or 500 A3
pages at a time. To minimise the
need for manual intervention and
the continual resetting of margins,
the ADF can handle mixed batches
including documents of different
sizes, thickness and length.
Where documents are of a
consistent size, adjustable and
lockable paper guides ensure
pages are fed in straight, including
an attachment guide for documents
of less than 70mm wide e.g.
business cards.
Alternatively, paper can be fed
manually via a straight paper path
ideal for old and fragile documents,
as well as longer documents up to
100 inches in length like banners
and ECG (electro-cardiogram)
print-outs. An optional flatbed
scanner can be used to scan bound
documents, magazine articles and
pages from books.
Reliable and productive
As you would expect from devices
with a daily duty cycle of up to
100,000 pages, KV-S81 Series
scanners are packed with features
designed to aid the productivity
both of users and of the devices
themselves. These include:
High quality imaging.
To improve
reliability and the effectiveness
of OCR software, the scanners
automatically adjust density levels
to produce scanned data with
accurate text, even from forms and
vouchers with coloured or dense
backgrounds.
Automatic image processing.
Built-in image processing functions
like automatic image orientation,
automatic cropping, skew correction
and punch-hole deletion save time
and minimise the need for operator
intervention. Auto Rescan and
Auto Preview lets users review and
adjust images without having to
rescan.
Reliable feeding.
ToughFeed
transport technology and integrated
sensors aid productivity and
protect documents from damage by
detecting misfeeds/jams, double-
feeding and stapled documents,
Panasonic KV-S81 Series brings new levels of scanning efficiency and
productivity to high volume scanning
