An Innovative Blend…ILINX® Capture with Canon ScanFront 220 / 220P
This week I wanted to highlight a great ImageSource combo that delivers an All-IN-ONE system that is perfect for Workgroup Capture. This blended technology provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art scanning solution for any organization, regardless of size.
ILINX® Capture is a powerful web based application that allows you to capture information any place, any time. It can be used for ad hoc and production scanning and indexing. All you need is access to a browser and you can capture documents from anywhere in the world!
With ILINX Capture you can import and process emails, faxes and business documents and it is easily integrated with third-party and legacy systems. Once released from the scanner, the documents enter the ILINX Capture workflow system; allowing access to documents and batches from a thin web client. ILINX Capture was a winner of the 2010 Product Innovation Awards - Network Products Guide.
Now blending ILINX Capture with Canon ScanFront 220 / ScanFront 220P scanner, this allows you to plug your captured information directly into your office network. With the user-friendly touch screen, you can scan directly to e-mail, FTP, shared folders or USB memory and it releases to a comprehensive workflow system that is assessable from any browser.
Worried about security and access to your network? The Canon ScanFront 220 / ScanFront 220P has robust security features offering fingerprint authentication with easy remote management.
Check out the demo of how it works on You Tube - you will see how easy it is to apply innovation in your workflow processes!

Network Scanners, Living in a Connected World
Network attached scanners have been available for quite a while. But the early version were extremely limited and didn’t always work as expected. The current version of network scanners come with a good sized user interface, touch screen or Keyboard and usual have a version of windows imbedded allowing for an easier setup and a familiar feel. These new units allow for quick deployment in a low volume setting and they are easy-to-use and they manage, secure, and operate as stand-alone solutions.
Many different manufacturers offer a network version of their scanner line. Canon offers a great Network Scanner, the ScanFront 220. With this scanner, you can simplify and standardize document management across your local branches or across the globe. Simply load your documents, log into the network, select the destination, and press the scan button. It allows many users to access the network via one scanner using their person authentication logons. Specific user settings can restrict the types of documents the user has access to scan, index, and view.
Fujitsu’s network scanner, the fi-6010N, includes many enhancements for greater ease of use, simplified device management and additional security feature for compliance or to assist with adherence to regulations. This network scanner provides functionality including scan to e-mail, network fax, folder, printer, FTP website, and searchable PDF in a small footprint which enables document sharing amount departments or the entire enterprise.
The Kodak Scan Station 500 is designed as a walk-up capture station that requires minimal user training and is easy to use. The Scan Station 500 is a standalone solution that works with an existing network and makes use of existing network shared services to communicate with other network devices or destinations. The color touch screen is easy to use and allows you to quickly send your documents via email, fax, to networked drives, networked printers or USB flash drives.
No matter which network scanner you think might work best for you or your organization, having the ability to scan directly to your network without the requirement of a PC is a great innovation in the document imaging environment. You can purchase all these types of network scanner at ImageSource, Inc.

Highlight on Canon Scanners
This week we are going to talk about Canon and their line of High/Mid/Low-volume, and check scanners. Canon scanners are usually priced very competitively. At ImageSource we also manage scanner service repair and Canon’s are just as reliable and have the same loyal following as other brands.
Canon scanners offer the kind of high-performance features that make converting paper documents easier. Like high-speed precision feeding technology, compact design, high-speed color capability and even flexible configuration options.
Canon’s highest volume scanner is the newly released DRX10C, which rivals the competition with an impressive 128 pages per minute scanning speed in both color and black and white. Great image quality comes from the onboard image processing chip that can handle multiple image processing functions. It also boasts the industry’s first dust-free scanning system which prevents dust particle from adhering to the sensor glass. This minimizes manual cleaning for the end-user thus reducing time spent maintaining the scanner. This robust design allows for up to 60,000 scans per day meeting the demands of production level scanning.
The rest of the Canon scanner line includes 18 models ranging in speed from 20 ppm up to 112 ppm. This expansive variety of models allows the end user to find the perfect fit with speed and design for their document capture or distributed capture solution. Canon also provides 3 different models of check scanners, which is a niche that most of the other well-known scanner manufacturers do not venture into. This can be very beneficial for those in Billing and Accounting areas of business that deal mainly with processing large quantities of checks. Having a true check scanner give you the option of reading the MICR codes on the bottom of the checks.
One noticeable difference with the Canon scanner line is that they do not ship with Kofax’s Virtual Rescan (VRS) technology that many of the other manufacturers include as a basic with their standard packages. It can be added on to any of the scanners as an aftermarket upgrade, so not bundling it with VRS cuts down on the cost. Talk about flexibility.
And…Finally network scanners with new technology have arrived! Stay tuned next week for our blog about Network scanners, including those offered by Canon.
