Main Features
The scanner is equipped with the following features:
The scanner can be used alone without a computer (DirectScan)
You can scan documents, save images, send emails, and perform other various tasks on the touch screen of the scanner without having to connecting to a computer.
High speed scanning
The scanner has achieved a scanning speed of 40 ppm/80 ipm (*1). Furthermore, up to 50 sheets of documents (*2) can be loaded for continuous scanning which enables you to quickly digitize a large volume of documents.
Network connection
You can connect the scanner to a network via a wired LAN.
Even with a network connection, the scanning speed is equivalent to that of a USB connection.
For details, refer to the Network Setup Tool for fi Series Help or Network Settings (fi Series Network Settings).
Touch screen
The scanner has a 4.3-inch TFT color touch screen which enables you to operate the scanner with simple actions such as seeing and touching.
The touch screen enables you to configure the scanner settings, scan documents, and check the number of sheets scanned or the error status with ease.
Capable of scanning documents folded in half, envelopes, multi-layered transfer paper
In order to scan documents folded in half, envelopes, and multi-layered transfer paper, you can switch the feed mode to Manual Single Mode.
Switching the mode to Manual Single Mode reduces the load on a document being fed so that papers that constitute the document are not separated and scanned successfully.
Improved efficiency for pre-scan work
The scanner can perform "mixed batch scanning" which allows you to scan documents with different paper weights, sizes, and types at once.
This simplifies the process of sorting the documents before scanning.
Reduced work loss caused by multifeeds
The scanner has ultrasonic multifeed sensors that accurately detect "multifeed" errors where two or more sheets are fed through the scanner at once.
This detection for overlapped documents is reliable, even when scanning a mixed batch of documents with different paper weights, sizes, and types, avoiding potential missing data due to multifeeds.
Intelligent multifeed detection function
When there is paper of the same size attached to a designated location on the page, the intelligent multifeed detection function enables the scanner to recognize the area of the attachment.
The scanner does not detect the recognized area where the attachment is on as overlapping of documents so that scanning can continue.
Advanced image processing function
The scanner is equipped with a function that automatically detects whether a document is in color or monochrome and then outputs an image of the document.
This function reduces the risk of color deviation or stripes from occurring on documents and allows you to output highly reproducible images.
Capable of scanning photographs, clippings, and documents that can be damaged
The Carrier Sheet is available as an option.
Using it allows you to scan photographs that can be damaged quite easily or non-standard size documents such as clippings.
Centralized operation of multiple scanners
By using scanners connected to PaperStream NX Manager, multiple scanners can be operated together.
For example, you can specify the scanner that you want to use and specify scanning menus that are customized for each scanner, and distribute them to the scanners.
You can also save images in a specified linked destination, and monitor the processing status of images.

Centralized management of multiple scanners
Scanner Central Admin Server and Scanner Central Admin Desktop have been replaced by the successor product, PaperStream Central Admin.
If you are using PaperStream Central Admin, interpret "Scanner Central Admin Server" and "Scanner Central Admin Desktop" in this manual as referring to "PaperStream Central Admin".
With Scanner Central Admin Server or Scanner Central Admin Desktop, multiple scanners can be managed together.
For example, you can monitor the operating status of managed scanners or apply the scanner settings or firmware to scanners.
Scanner Central Admin Server
Scanner Central Admin Server enables you to update the settings and drivers on multiple scanners at once.
For details, refer to the Scanner Central Admin User's Guide.
Scanner Central Admin Desktop
Scanner Central Admin Desktop can operate on the client operating system.
Scanner Central Admin Desktop enables you to configure settings for DirectScan, create jobs, and apply them to scanners.
For details, refer to the Scanner Central Admin Desktop Help.
You can manage scanners through Scanner Central Admin Server or Scanner Central Admin Desktop with the following methods:
Linking with scanners through Scanner Central Admin Agent that are installed on the computers
Linking directly with scanners that are connected to the network
| *1: | When A4 size documents are scanned at 200/300 dpi using JPEG compression. |
| *2: | When the paper weight is 80 g/m2 (20 lb). |
