The Scan Station 500 also features an enhanced eight inch touch screen, as well as Kodaks exclusive Voice Attachment feature that allows users to send personalized comments or instructions with scanned documents.
For document workflows that demand a more robust capture point, the KODAK i730 and i750 Scanners offer end users a high performance, mid volume production scanner capable of scanning large volumes of documents at speeds normally associated with 200 dots per inch (dpi), into images with quality of 300 dpi. This level of performance delivers true productivity in real world environments by enabling intelligent image processing functions, such as optical character recognition (OCR) at fast production speeds.
