XEROX-BRANDED DOCUMATE SCANNER SERIES NOW AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT EUROPE

Offers the best image quality, OCR accuracy in its category


3rd Feb. 2004 - The new Xerox® DocuMate™ family of workgroup scanners are now available throughout Europe. The series includes the DocuMate 250, DocuMate 520, and DocuMate 510, and is the first to combine the power of scanning, PDF file creation and document management, setting new standards in image quality and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) accuracy.

The Xerox DocuMate scanners are developed, marketed and supported by Visioneer, based on the trademark licensing agreement between the two companies announced last year.

All three scanners come bundled with a powerful suite of document and image management applications including TWAIN and ISIS certified drivers, ScanSoft® PaperPort 9, ScanSoft TextBridge Pro 9.0, and ArcSoft PhotoImpression 4.0. The DocuMate 250 and 520 scanners also include Pixel Translations QuickScan Version 3.0 and are the first workgroup models to bundle Kofaxs award-winning VirtualReScan™ (VRS) 2.1 software, which improves image quality and increases overall efficiency of the scanning process for document management applications.

The DocuMate series establishes a new standard of excellence in image quality and OCR accuracy not currently available in the workgroup scanner segment, said Susan Moyse, InfoTrends Research Group. They are affordable, easy-to-use and provide robust features and benefits for business users, including a small footprint, scan speed options, binary and colour image capture, user-friendly controls and productive application bundles.

In addition, the DocuMate scanners are the first scanners to link directly to Xerox DocuShare 3.0, an intuitive and secure Web-based document and content management application that enables more than 3500 organisations worldwide to capture, manage, retrieve and distribute information.

The Xerox DocuMate 510 is a 10 page-per-minute (ppm) colour flatbed scanner, featuring a 58 percent smaller footprint than its nearest flatbed competitor, making it the first high-speed scanner suitable for deployment as a workgroup or desktop scanning solution. The DocuMate 510 also provides 600 x 1200 dpi optical resolution, 42-bit colour, hi-speed USB 2.0 interface, USB 1.1 compatibility.

The Xerox DocuMate 520 is a 20ppm colour flatbed scanner with three programmable buttons that instantly scan, copy/print or e-mail any document. It offers an optical resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi, 48-bit colour and a hi-speed USB 2.0 interface.

The Xerox DocuMate 250 is a 22ppm colour sheetfed scanner with one of the smallest footprints of any automatic document feeder (ADF) scanner on the market. It also offers an optical resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi, 48-bit colour and a hi-speed USB 2.0 interface.

All 3 scanners include a 50-page capacity ADF, which can handle paper and photos from business cards up to legal-size documents.
