Scanners for the digital transformation era
EDM Group has
announced a rebrand
around the theme of
'Paperfreedm', which
encapsulates the company's
drive to minimise
paper usage among its
clients by using the latest
technologies to digitise
information and simplify
data management.
Established in 1974, EDM
Group has continuously
evolved its approach to
information management
from simple scanning and
document storage to
Fujitsu subsidiary PFU
(EMEA) Limited has
unveiled two new document
scanners: the fi-7700
and fi-7600. The new models
are able to capture documents
up to A3 size in a
wide variety of paper
weights in one batch, saving
time and cost for production-level
scanning in a
professional environment.
The fi-7700 model combines
ADF (Automatic Document
Feeder) and flatbed
functionality. Both models
provide a higher level of
flexibility than higher volume
scanners. Users can
load documents easily by
adjusting the rotating ADF
of the fi-7700 to suit the
users' office or workspace
environment.
The straight paper path
allows for very thick materials
to be processed.
The A3 flatbed in the fi-
7700 is well suited for fragile
or oversized documents
like magazines. The fi-7600
model comes with dual
fold-out operating panels
to support left-to-right and
right-to-left scanning scenarios.
These new additions
to the fi Series process a
wider variety of document
qualities, materials, shapes
and sizes without special
settings or operator interaction,
granting the user
even more flexibility.
The fi-7700 and fi-7600
boast scanning speeds of
100 ppm / 200 ipm (A4
landscape, colour,
200/300 dpi) and are optimised
for centralised scanning
of up to 30,000 documents
per day.
