Fujitsu ScanSnap Scanner Receives CES Innovations 2005 Design & Engineering Award for Small Office/Home Office Solutions

ScanSnap Scanning Solution will be Showcased in the Innovations Plus Showroom at the 2005 International CES Conference

San Jose, CA, November 16, 2004 — Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., a market leader in document imaging scanners and services, today announced that its ScanSnap™ fi-5110EOX scanning solution was selected by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) as an honoree in the prestigious CES Innovations 2005 Design and Engineering Showcase Award program in the Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) category. CES has reaffirmed the value proposition the ScanSnap scanner offers to SOHO users by recognizing ScanSnap for the second year in a row as a CES Innovations Honoree.

The Fujitsu ScanSnap is a compact, upright, one-touch color scanner that allows users to quickly convert paper documents into searchable PDF files bringing Fujitsu high-end scanning technology to small- to medium-sized offices and business professionals at an affordable price. The ScanSnap scanner’s "always on" convenience, connectivity, and amazingly small footprint allows the scanner to sit comfortably on any desktop or workspace.

The new scanner elevates the original, award-winning ScanSnap scanner with many new features and capabilities, including higher optical resolution, sleek design, Adobe® Acrobat® 6.0 Standard software, faster file handling, authentic Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) generation, and a range of image quality and software control improvements.

Since 1989, the Innovations Design and Engineering Award Showcase has given consumer technology manufacturers and developers an opportunity to have their newest products judged by a preeminent panel of independent industry designers, engineers and journalists. For the tenth year, the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) endorsed and acted as advisors to the Innovations Design & Engineering Showcase. The Innovations judges select honorees based on the following weighted criteria: User value, aesthetics, contributions to the quality of life, and innovative design and qualities.
