Monday 12. April 2010 - New features for the KODAK i1200 Plus and i1300 Plus Series Scanners provide enhancements to Kodaks Smart Touch feature and Kodaks Perfect Page Image Processing Technology.

Mail and MICROSOFT WINDOWS Live Hotmail. This new capability supports the growth of Internet-based email, which provides hundreds of millions of users with communication services.
“Businesses need simple connectivity tools to input information from paper documents into frequently used online applications,” said Budd Webster, Business Director, Scanners, Document Imaging, Kodaks Business Solutions and Services Group. “With the enhancements for the Plus Series Scanners, we developed ways to ensure that users receive both optimal image quality, and that theyre also equipped with the right kind of tools to effectively use the information extracted from scanned records and files.”
The compact i1200 Plus and i1300 Plus Scanners now feature the latest Perfect Page Image Processing Technology, resulting in clearer, more accurate digital images. Capabilities such as sharpening provide cleaner transitions and more crisp text, improving overall image clarity. More specific features, such as streak filtering and image hole fill, help to reduce the need for cleaning and improve the appearance of images, such as hole-punched documents.
