Fujitsu fi-5950 breaks new ground in scanning performance with ultra-fast scanning speeds and labor-saving "intelligent" functions


Sunnyvale, CA, September 21, 2010 — Fujitsu, the market leader in document imaging scanners and services, today announced the availability of its newest production scanner – the fi-5950. Equipped with new "intelligent" functions that significantly reduce user workload throughout the entire scanning process, from pre-scanning to post scanning, the fi-5950 provides a truly unique scanning experience in terms of efficiency, reliability and ease of use.
The Fujitsu fi-5950 retains all of the high-end features and functionalities of its predecessor, the fi-5900C, while offering additional time-saving tools to increase scanning automation, a critical component to improving scanning efficiency in the front and back-office for enterprise and midsized companies. The enhanced features of the new Fujitsu fi-5950 include:

Intelligent Multi-Feed Function (iMFF): iMFF allows for instant detection of a multi-feed or multilayer document, such as taped-on receipts or sticky notes added to a document. This advanced control of the triple independent ultrasonic double feed detection sensors allows operator’s to easily select from one of three available modes to memorize patterns or simply allow for the bypass of the randomly stuck on items.
Retain Image Function: This function transports the document that has caused the alert to the exit path of the scanner, and presents both the physical document as well as the scanned front and back side images to the user so they can decide whether rescanning is required. This makes reloading and rescanning documents with attached photos and memos unnecessary, bringing added convenience and smooth scanner operation to the user.

Virtual ReScan (VRS) Software and Hardware Equipped: A fully licensed version of Kofax VRS 4.5 Professional software including Enhanced Bar Code (EBC) recognition is included with the fi-5950. Additionally, the scanner is equipped with the Kofax VRS Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) board, providing users with excellent image processing functionality and performance. VRS automatic and intelligent processing helps to reduce human document preparation to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Improved Start-Up Times: The Power-on time of the fi-5950 has been reduced significantly to roughly 15 seconds. Additionally, scan start time (the time from batch start on the PC to the start of actual scanning of the first page) takes less than 5 seconds. These improved start-up times make 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.
Ultra-Fast Scanning Speeds with High Quality Image Processing: The fi-5950 delivers incredible scanning speeds of 135 ppm / 270 ipm at 200 or 300 dpi (landscape orientation in color, grayscale or monochrome) and features a high quality Charge Coupled Device (CCD) camera and image processing technologies giving the production scanner a high-volume throughput of approximately 100,000 sheets per day (operating at full capacity for 24 hours).

Automatic Image Quality Checker (aIQC): For uninterrupted processing of document batches, the aIQC virtually marks images with potential missing data, such as folded corners, and those that might show multi-feed incidences, allowing the user to then check through these earmarked images and either validate or re-scan to the same position in the image order.
“When scanning large volumes of paper every second counts. Our customers have been very specific in their feedback about the time-saving features they would like to see in a production-level scanner, and that is exactly why we have incorporated these new high performance scanning functionalities into the fi-5950,” said Kevin Neal, product manager, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. “Companies in vertical markets such as healthcare, government, legal, finance, insurance, transportation, and many other industries will save time and money with the enhanced document imaging processes of the fi-5950.”

“The Fujitsu fi-5950 is going to be a game-changer for the document imaging industry,” said Tom Bojarski, president and CEO, EchoStone Inc., a global provider of document management, imaging, and capture solutions. “We have seen a lot of document imaging solutions over the years, but none can compare to the ease of use, low-cost of ownership and feature-rich capabilities of the fi-5950. We’re excited to introduce this scanner to our customers needing a best-of-breed solution for applications such as accounts payable invoices and shipping documents, medical records, and mortgage insurance.”

More Fujitsu fi-5950 Features

The Fujitsu fi-5950 comes with additional feature enhancing software, including Kofax® VRS 4.5 Professional, ScandAll PRO 1.8, Adobe® Acrobat® 9.0 Standard and TWAIN and ISIS™ drivers providing a complete in box suite of software tools that make scanning simple and easy. Other key features include:

* USB 2.0, ultra wide SCSI interface and third party slot for a wide range of interoperability.

* Industry leading image enhancement: Automatic paper size and color detection, and blank-page deletion for decreased document preparation and increased automation.

* User selectable RGB color dropout to expose only relevant document information.

* Optional pre and post scan imprinters to assist with adherence to compliance and regulations.

* 500 page input tray and active stacking to keep documents neat and orderly in the output tray.

* ENERGY STAR®, and RoHS compliant.
