Lots of documents to scan and route? Hewlett-Packard's new Digital Sender 9250c might be the answer.
The device runs at up to 55 images per minute
in mono or 33 in colour, and features a full-sized slide-out keyboard
instead of the soft keyboard used on the company's MFPs. The operator
can scan to email, to OCR (the conversion is performed on the
destination PC, not on the 9250c itself) to a printer, or to a network
fax server.
The automatic document feeder feeder handles double-sided sheets up to
215.9 x 355.6 mm (8.5 x 14 in), or the top section of the Digital
Sender can be raised allowing the device to be used as a conventional
flatbed scanner.
Optional software allows integration with applications such as Notes,
SharePoint and content management systems, as well as forms processing
and barcode reading.
Security features include the use of LDAP, Kerberos or other
technologies to authenticate the sender, and the ability to erase data
from the device's 40G hard disk as soon as a each document has been
transmitted. A USB port allows the connection of a card reader or a
biometric device for authentication.
Suited to higher volume scanning than HP's MFPs, the 9250c costs $US3899.
