New fi-7030: Evolved Entry Model Suitable for Quick Scanning

Designed for simple on-demand scanning of mixed size documents at your desk

Yokohama, Japan, June 14, 2016– PFU LIMITED, a subsidiary of Fujitsu Ltd., today announced the launch of a new fi Series^*1 scanner, fi-7030. This compact scanner is best suited for scanning a small volume of documents, including plastic cards at counters or desks. The fi-7030 is equipped with advanced technology and functions inherited from our high-end scanners such as Skew Reducer and a feeding mechanism with a break roller, yet providing simple usability. With a scanning speed of 27 ppm, and a fast recovery time after resuming from sleep mode, you can easily digitize documents whenever you need.

“The fi-7030 is equipped with basic but excellent scanning performance for efficient scanning, and is appropriate for desktop scanning such as over-the-counter services due to its small size thus saving space.” said Corporate Executive Vice President & President of Imaging Business Group, Kenichi Miyamoto, PFU Limited. “Without any difficulty, high quality images can be generated, which can be seamlessly integrated to your document workflow. We believe this is one of the best solutions for simple but smart digitization.”

Key features of the fi-7030:

Ideal for desktop scanning with its compact size and card scanning capability
The fi-7030 handles the scanning of a wide range of documents reliably from thin documents to thick documents (40-209g/m²), and plastic cards including embossed cards. Long paper scanning of up to 5 meters and over is also available as well as A3 size scanning with a carrier sheet that comes with the scanner as an option.

• Compact design allowing it to be placed anywhere
  Its noticeable compact size with a sophisticated design suits various environments. The scanner fits in small spaces even smaller than spaces that are A4 in size on a desk.
• Fast processing performance
  The fi-7030 scans at a speed of 27 ppm / 54 ipm (A4, portrait, Color, 200 / 300 dpi), which is increased by 35% compared to the previous model. The scanner will not make you or your customers wait with a quick startup time of half a second and a recovery time of 1.2 seconds after resuming from sleep mode.
• Accurate mixed batch scanning for different types of documents
  The Skew Reducer prevents the following documents from being skewed when the preceding document is skewed, thus preventing the image from being incomplete with missing parts even in the case of a batch scan with various types of documents. This also reduces the burden of re-scanning.

Automatically creates the best suited image quality without hassle
The PaperStream IP scanner driver, which supports TWAIN/ISIS, avoids the inconvenience of fine adjustments to the settings for OCR processes. It automatically converts the images into exceptionally clean images, accelerating OCR even when scanning wrinkled or soiled documents, or documents with a background pattern.

Advanced software for your work efficiency

• PaperStream Capture - Image capture software
  With an intuitive interface, batch scanning with various capture features of PaperStream Capture allows you to incorporate information into your organization's workflow effectively and efficiently. By pre-setting a scanning profile, PaperStream Capture could help you simplify your workflow with easy scanning operation.
• Scanner Central Admin - Centralized scanner management software
  Scanner Central Admin allows the administrator to manage a large number of scanners in the network by delivering simultaneous driver updates and scanner setup information, or monitoring consumable and error statuses via the network.
