Network Scanning: KODAK Announces Major Upgrade To Its Scan Station 100 Document Scanner

Eastman Kodak Company announced enhancements to the KODAK Scan Station 100, its innovative networked scanning device which incorporates new features and functionality.

The KODAK Scan Station 100 combines high-quality scanning of paper documents with an intuitive operation that enables people to share via e-mail, save to a network folder, send to a network printer or copier, or store them on a portable USB drive - all from one device. Using a colour touch screen, the desktop Scan Station 100 is as easy to use as PDA or mobile telephone.

The KODAK Scan Station 100 now includes the following features which makes it ideal as a desktop multi-function device capable of handling a wide range of mixed documents:

• A tool to interactively name files and directories for scanned documents;
• Advanced search functions for the easy look-up of user email addresses;
• A tool for the centralised administration of clustered Scan Stations to allow companies who have units in multiple office locations to efficiently manage them;
• Printing to stand-alone network printers;
• Single page TIF scanning;
• Authenticated FTP and SMTP capability;
• Improvements to the touch-screen keyboard.

"The KODAK Scan Station 100 has received a significant makeover since its launch one year ago," said Hauke Fast, Product Marketing Manager, Document Imaging, Kodak's Graphic Communications Group. "Based on customer feedback we have integrated additional innovative functions to improve the usability, compatibility and administration of the device.''

To offer even more value to Scan Station 100 users, Kodak offers professional Kodak Help Desk Support, available in many European countries with a local telephone number and in local languages. This handles all questions around hardware installation and all warranty issues for 100% customer satisfaction. The KODAK Scan Station 100 comes with a 12 months on-site warranty*.

Customers can extend their 12 months warranty to a 36 months on-site service coverage with next business day response, including travel, labour and spare parts. Warranty Enhancements can be purchased at point of sale, up to two months after purchase and will be offered through authorised Kodak resellers in all European countries with a Kodak Service & Support organisation.

KODAK Scan Station 100s are already being shipped with the additional features, and have a recommended list price of €2.995 plus VAT. Installed Scan Stations can be upgraded easily and free of charge.
