Panasonic Introduces Intel Core i5 Tablet Network Scanners

Panasonic System Communications Company of North America (PSCNA) has released two new Intel Core i5-Tablet powered high-volume network scanners for government agencies, financial institutions, service bureaus, and other sizeable document-handling applications.

According to Panasonic, the new KV-S827M100 and the KV-S847M100 network scanners offer the highest scanning speed, and there are no other stand-alone scanners available on the market today that can scan at 120/140 ppm. Both scanners utilize an Intel Core i5-4302Y vProprocessor-fired Tablet with 8GB of DDR3L RAM to power high-speed optical character recognition and fully enable customizable document handling.

Both models offer two-network connectivity options: Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac.

The new scanners allow end users to scan and digitize large jobs just as quickly as if the scanner was installed at their desk, according to Joseph Odore, product manager of PSCNA. And because the tablet has the power of a dedicated PC, it provides high-speed character recognition and document management that can be customized to meet the needs of many different scanner scenarios.

The KV-S8127 (120 ppm/240 ipm) and KV-S8147 (140 ppm/280 ipm) scanner uses proprietary hardware image processing to eliminate speed drop-off when scanning at 300dpi rather than 200dpi, noted Odore. The Intel Core i5 Tablet, bundled with the scanners, features a seven-inch WXGA LED, a 10-point multi-touch screen, and supports gloved touch and gestures, and also ships with a capacitive stylus pen with an integrated holder, said Odore, noting that the tablet’s tight interface with the scanners enables whole jobs or individual documents to be scanned to mail, fax, Bluetooth, FTP servers, shared network folders, servers, and archival storage devices.

Advanced security and device management features include domain network authentication, local user management, remote administration, local device address book (LDAP), and a built-in auditing and auto document erasure.

PSCNA is a division of Panasonic Corporation of North America.
