Introduction of FUJITSU Image Scanner fi-Series.

Three Decentralized Business Scanners Are Born

-- PFU Launches the World’s First Ultrasonic Multi-Feed Detection Capable A4 Scanners --

On October 27, 2005, PFU (President: Yuji Hirose, Tokyo Head Office: Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture) announced the launching of the fi-5120C and the fi-5220C; the world's first ultrasonic multi-feed detection capable A4 scanners and the newest members to the Fujitsu fi-Series Fujitsu fi-Series(*1) line-up.
The A3 fi-5530C, the fastest scanner in its class, also made its grand appearance on the same day.


fi-5120C(A4 duplex ADF(*2) model) fi-5220C(A4 duplex ADF and Flatbed model) fi-5530C(A3 duplex ADF model)While their excellent predecessors are already being used by many financial and insurance companies for decentralized scanning tasks, these recent additions to the fi-Series line-up have had their existing functions upgraded to better suit end users' needs. Furthermore, new functions have been added to support ever more applications at branch offices, financial company front desks and pharmacies.

fi-5120C and fi-5220C Main Features

  1. The first scanners in their class to be armed with an ultrasonic multi-feed sensor
    The fi-5120C and the fi-5220C are the first scanners in their class to come loaded with ultrasonic multi-feed sensors that detect whenever two or more sheets of paper have been simultaneously feed into the scanner, regardless of document weight, size or color. By eliminating such scanning errors, this function improves scanning efficiency.
  2. Embossed card scannability
    These scanners' unique straight paper paths enable them to scan embossed as easily as they scan paper. This ability to feed ID cards and other plastic cards with their automatic document feeders (ADF) eases users' workloads and makes both the fi-5120C and the fi-5220C perfect for use at front desks.
  3. Speedy Scanning
    Both the fi-5120C and the fi-5220C are capable of scanning color and monochrome A4 documents at an incredible 50ipm / 25ppm (200dpi). This doubling of color scanning speeds over those of predecessor scanners (200dpi) further speeds up scanning tasks.

fi-5530C’s main features

  1. The fastest scanner in its class
    Being able to scan color and monochrome A4 documents at an incredible 70ipm / 35ppm (200dpi) makes the fi-5530C the fastest scanner in its class. This ability to scan at twice the speed of predecessor scanners enables the fi-5530C to efficiently digitize massive volumes of documents.
  2. The first scanner in its class capable of printing on either the front or back of original documents(*4)
    The fi-5530C is the first scanner in its class that is capable of printing dates and other information on either the front or back of scanned paper documents.
