Amsterdam, 13 December 2005 – The fi-5120C and fi-5220C colour workgroup scanners are Fujitsu's latest innovations in the professional document scanner segment. With scanning speeds of up to 30 pages or 60 images per minute at 150 dpi, regardless of the colour mode, these models are the fastest A4 desktop scanners in their class. Their performance, flexibility, and design are ideal features for multi-task scanning in today’s businesses – ranging from archiving and text recognition up to workflow support. The unique foldaway output tray on the fi-5120C makes it ideal for office environments where space is at a premium.
Speed and flexibility
The 50 sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) is perfectly suited for unattended scanning of multi-page documents and batches, with both models offering high speed scanning at up to 30 pages per minute in 150 dpi / A4 portrait / simplex mode in monochrome, greyscale and colour. The scanners´ duplex capability enables the capture of both sides of the original document in just one pass at up to 60 images per minute. The scan process is seamlessly automated and both the fi-5120C and fi-5220C offer high quality capture in mono, greyscale or colour at optical resolutions of up to 600 dpi. The output resolution can be freely adjusted from 50 dpi to 600 dpi in 1 dpi increments.
Ultrasonic doublefeed detection and processing of credit cards
The fi-5120C and fi-5220C scanners process paper sizes from A8 to A4 or legal, in paper thicknesses between 52 g/m2 and 127 g/m2. The fi-5220C2 model is additionally fitted with an integrated flatbed unit for scanning bound or very fragile documents, which could not be fed through the automatic document feeder (ADF). Both scanner models are also equipped with a special ultrasonic double feed detection mechanism that immediately interrupts the operation should it detect one or more sheets of paper being drawn into the paper path simultaneously. This unique detection mechanism is unrivalled within the fi-5120C and fi-5220C class of document scanners and greatly improves reliability and ease of the scanning process. Additionally, both Fujitsu scanner models enable the scanning of embossed plastic credit cards compliant to the ISO 7810 standard.
Next-to-perfect image quality and Advanced DTC (Dynamic Threshold Control)
When scanning batches of documents in monochrome mode, both fi-5120C and fi-5220C support the operator with the “Advanced Dynamic Threshold Control” function, which automatically optimizes every single page of the batch individually to its visible quality as well as to its ability to be used for further processing tasks like OCR/ICR. The operator can also select to apply functions such as image emphasis, error diffusion, moiré removal, dithering, and drop out colour definition, relieving the user of costly and time-consuming post-editing of images. Apart from multiple image enhancing options, both scanner models boast several processing functions for optimising the scanning process. These include automatic alignment of documents that have been fed in skewed (Auto Deskew), and automatic trimming of the scanned image to the actual format of the original (Auto Cropping).
Ease of operation
The hardware is simple to operate and user-friendly. All enhancement functionalities are user selectable from within the included TWAIN and ISIS driver packages, directly influencing the scanners´ actions. Their programmable control panels are supported through simple push-of-a-button functions such as Scan-to-File, Scan-to-View, Scan-to-Print, Scan-to-Fax, Scan-to-Email and Scan-to-Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server. The full version of AdobeÒ AcrobatÒ 7.0 Standard is included with both scanner models.
Fast data transfer
The fi-5120C and fi-5220C provide true plug-and-play flexibility through a selectable Ultra SCSI and USB 2.0 dual interface for fast data transfer, even of high-resolution colour images. Depending on the task, the operator can automatically create graphic formats such as TIFF, JPEG and BMP or select the de facto standard PDF format for secure electronic file exchange.
Unique options
The optional imprinter for the fi-5120C scanner will allow for a 40 character stamp to be printed on the back of every scanned document, thereby proving that all documents have been scanned. In cases where different batches of similar documents are to be scanned regularly, Fujitsu´s optional driver extension SoftIPC V.2.5 can contribute to increasing efficiency even further. This package enables defining and selecting monochrome mode scanning profiles that are optimised for different types of documents.
Moreover, the fi-5120C and fi-5220C can be operated as a network device by attaching them to the Fujitsu fi-5000N network adapter. This unique device allows multiple users to access a shared scanner from within their regular archiving application, just as if it were directly attached to their workstation.
Tried and trusted
The fi-5120C and fi-5220C desktop document scanners are loaded with all the functionality, speed, flexibility and reliability that throughout the past years have convinced more than half of all document scanner operators worldwide to use Fujitsu scanners at their desktop. Both new scanner models mark a milestone in professional document scanner use, offering even greater benefits to the individual user.
In addition to German, English, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, the fi-5120C and fi-5220C now also support the Russian-language environment. It goes without saying that both document scanners comply with the European Union's RoHS environmental guidelines.
Price and availability
The new Fujitsu fi-5120C and fi-5220C document scanners will be available from specialist dealers in December 2005 for a recommended retail price of € 999.00 plus VAT (fi-5120C model) and € 1,799.00 plus VAT (fi-5220C model).
