Epson announces the DS-970 and DS-870-- a pair of colour duplex document scanners designed for busy and high-volume workgroups, with the DS-970 being the first from the company to offer scanning speeds of up to 85 ppm/170 ipm.
According to Epson, the DS-970 also ofers a peak duty cycle of up to 9000 sheets, while the DS-870 scans as fast as 65 ppm/130 ipm with a peak daily cycle of up to 7000 sheets. Both scanners feature a 100-page automatic document feeder for high-volume batch scanning, and help customers scan, organise and upload documents ranging from mixed stacks of business and ID cards to long documents and folded pages.
Advanced paper feed technology includes a slow speed mode for delicate sheets, double-feed detection and paper protection to prevent misfeeds. Included OCR and document capture software allows users to create searchable PDFs, store and share work online to storage accounts such as Evernote, SharePoint and Google Drive.
The scanners come in a compact form factor designed to fit any workspace, and are equipped with an LCD display for easy navigation and mode selection. Advanced TWAIN and ISIS drivers provide seamless integration with existing 3rd party document management software, and an optional network interface unit allows scanner sharing across a network. In other options, a flatbed dock allows connection to a compatible Epson photo scanner for the scanning of photos, passports or bound materials.
The Epson DS-970 and DS-870 are available now.
