It can scan at speeds of up to 60 pages (120 images) per minute and offers a choice of software options: Paperstream IP NET, for simple integration of Paperstream Capture or Twain/ISIS PC- based workflow applications over wired or wireless networks; PaperStream NX Manager, for a company- wide deployment of a centrally administered document capture solution, without the need for local PCs; and Paperstream NX Manager APIs, for integrating devices into third party applications. www.fujitsu.com/uk/ www.managedITmag.co.uk doing that in one location. Now, organisations view scanning as something that everyone should do as part of their daily routine. The technology is so intuitive that people whose main focus is something else entirely can easily use it. So, there is massive growth in distributed capture. At a product level, we believe the newly launched fi-7300NX (see caption story right) is going to be a significant product for us, because it talks to the need for distributed capture and because it is such an innovative product. It combines many different technologies in one device; it has the imaging capability, but also security – NFC and keypad security – so you can record who scanned what and when. The other thing about scanners that has challenged some organisations in the past is that the minute you put a peripheral device on someone’s desk you have to manage it: there are drivers to install; if you have a new operating system, you have to make sure the technology works with it. Over many years, we have developed remote management technologies to address these issues, but the 7300NX has so much flexibility that it can be deployed very easily and can even be PC-less. You don’t need a PC to use this technology.
