Fujitsu Introduces Ground-Breaking Production Color Scanner with Ultrasonic Double-Feed Detection

New fi-5750C Scanner Equipped With a Unique 200-Page Swivel Automatic Document Feeder and 300-Page Exit Stacker With Adjustable Height

New York, NY, March 8, 2004 — Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. (FCPA), a market leader in document imaging scanners and services, today announced the introduction of its new Fujitsu fi-5750C color, low-volume production scanner equipped with the latest breakthroughs in document imaging technology and features. The Fujitsu fi-5750C, which will officially be unveiled at AIIM 2004 Exposition and Conference, March 8-10 at the Javits Convention Center in New York City, includes state of the art ultrasonic double-feed detection technology, allowing users to prevent lost images and enabling larger batches of mixed document types to be scanned quickly, reliably, and automatically.

In addition, the new Fujitsu fi-5750C scanner comes equipped with a unique 200-page rotating automatic document feeder (ADF) to accommodate right and left handed users, as well as a fully adjustable 300-page exit stacker. To further separate this revolutionary scanner from the competition, the Fujitsu fi-5750C includes two independent methods to detect document double-feeds with the addition of length sensors to its ultrasonic double-feed detection technology. Either detection method can be used separately or combined to accommodate a wide variety of document environments.

"Fujitsu's new scanner breaks traditional barriers by providing high quality images with fast color scanning at an affordable price point," said Susan Moyse, analyst at InfoTrends Research Group, Inc. "Fujitsu has also added important ease-of-use features and throughput enhancements that will make this offering a strong competitor."

The Fujitsu fi-5750C, the fastest and most feature-rich color scanner in the low-volume production class, continues to offer customers best in class scanning and incredible value in document management functionality with its high speed dual color CCD arrays to scan both sides of a page in one pass, 600 dots-per-inch (dpi) optical resolution, and scanning speed of up to 57 pages-per-minute (ppm)/114 images-per-minute (ipm) at 200 and 300 dpi in color, grayscale or monochrome, or 71 ppm/142 ipm in landscape mode. Other key features of the Fujitsu fi-5750C scanner include:

• Dual interface of Ultra SCSI and Hi-Speed USB 2.0
• Simplified windows based scanner control panel
• Color deskew and automatic document size detection
• Long document scanning up to 34"
• Blank page removal
• Document scanning from 11 lb to 54 lbs
• Daily duty cycle of up to 8,000 documents per day
• An oversize flatbed at 12" x 18", with a special design for ease of book scanning

"The Fujitsu fi-5750C provides customers with the best price-to-performance ratio in the document imaging industry," said Victor Kan, senior director of product and channel marketing, Imaging Products Group, FCPA. "This scanner is the first in the market to exemplify the kind of cost versus functionality that customers are demanding in the low-volume production class. With its combination of high speed, unique ADF design, and aggressive price-to-performance ratio, there is ample reason for this to be the standard all scanners in the category are judged by."  

The Fujitsu fi-5750C comes bundled with the full version of Adobe® Acrobat® 6.0 Standard and ScandAll 21™. Fujitsu also offers customers an optional field upgrade kit to integrate Kofax's newest version of VirtualReScan® automated document image-perfecting software and Adrenaline® 650iLV SCSI interface boards. FCPA's Imaging Products Group (IPG) has priced the fi-5750C scanner starting at $8,995.00 (U.S. list).

The new Fujitsu fi-5750C low-volume production scanner is available through authorized resellers, VARs, and distributors including Compucenter de Mexico, Cranel Imaging, Ingram Micro, Optical Laser, NewWave Technologies and Tech Data.
