"Fujitsu has always focused on delivering the best solutions that address the changing needs of our customers. "The latest high performance workgroup scanners added to our line of document imaging solutions look to continue the company's product evolution and innovation in the workgroup segment," said Scott Francis, vice president of marketing, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc.
This new feature allows users to monitor scanner running status, update scanner drivers, check consumable status, and more, all over a network, from one location.
While not as powerful as ScandALL for advanced requirements, it is much more user-friendly in situations where walk-up users are less experienced.Ĭasual users are likely to find the excellent ScanSnap mode far easier.Faster Scanning Speeds, Central Administration Capabilities, Intelligent Multi-Feed Function (iMFF), Enhanced Paper Protection Technology and Latest Kofax VRS Professional Software Highlight Industry Leading Workgroup Scannersįujitsu, the market leader in document imaging scanners, recently introduced the next generation of its high performance workgroup scanning solutions, including the Fujitsu fi-6130Z, fi-6140Z, fi-6230Z, and fi-6240Z. Once launched, this supports one-touch scans along with various simple 'scan to' options.
Through this powerful tool, administrators can deploy driver updates or settings changes remotely, while in return scanners can flag up errors or the need for consumables.įortunately for those wanting to simplify deployment and use, the default installation includes Fujitsu's excellent ScanSnap software. This involves installing an admin agent on each scanner's host PC that reports to a central admin server, which is in turn managed by a console application.
Setting these up initially could be time-consuming, however, and there's no space on the scanner to display the preset assigned to each function, which could be confusing when more than a couple are in use.įujitsu also supplies management software for those looking to roll out multiple scanners across an enterprise.
Using profiles, ScandALL can be configured to support up to 10 different scan presets that can be selected with the hardware Function button. It takes several steps to assign actions to events in the ScandALL software.
As a result, we had to refer to the manuals for both the scanner and ScandALL when trying to configure the hardware Scan/Stop button to trigger a simple multi-page scan job. The latter is a powerful way to manage and create profiles for single and batch scans, but it's also rather complex.
The fi-6130Z comes with an impressive suite of applications that includes TWAIN and ISIS drivers, Kofax VRS, ABBYY FineReader OCR software and Fujitsu's ScandALL Pro scan management application.
