Products on display this year include:
# imageFORMULA P-150 "Scan-tini" Personal Document Scanner: The Canon P-150's compact size and ease-of-use use liberates document capture by taking it beyond the walls of the office to the convenience of any user location. Measuring only 11 inches long, 3.7 inches wide and 1.6 inches high and weighing just over two pounds, the Canon P-150 redefines the minimum dimensions of a document scanner with an automatic document feeder. The Canon P-150 can scan up to 15 pages-per-minute (ppm) and 30 images-per-minuteI (ipm), yet still fits easily into a briefcase. For quick use and minimal setup, the P-150 is powered via a single USB cable connected to a PC, and when first connected will immediately launch Canon CaptureOnTouch Lite. This "Plug-and-Scan" capability lets users easily and instantaneously start scanning without installing drivers or imaging applications, decreasing the time needed to initiate a scan and simplifying the scanning process.
# imageFORMULA ScanFront 220P Network Scanner: The ScanFront 220P offers an easy-to-use, stand-alone and secure solution for moving capture of hard-copy documents closer to the point of origin within the business process. Ideal for decentralized or distributed scanning applications, it can easily share documents via a network as well. The ScanFront 220P features an 8.4-inch color touch panel allowing for easy navigation as well as a preview of scanned images. It can scan letter-sized documents at up to 25ppmII, and captures color, grayscale and black and white images in various file formats including high compression and searchable PDF, TIFF and JPEG.
# imageFORMULA DR-9050C Production Scanner: A high-volume, high image-quality document management solution, the DR-9050C scans at speeds up to 112 ppm/225 ipm in color, grayscale and black and white. The DR-9050C captures images and text with clarity using three-line Contact Image Sensors at up to 600 dots-per-inch optical resolution, and incorporates a dust-free shading mechanism for exceptional image quality. Developed with Canon's unique feeding mechanism, the DR-9050C utilizes Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection, Rapid Recovery and Staple Detection to ensure reliable document scanning.
