Sean Suematsu, European Document Scanning Solutions Director at Canon Europe, comments, “We see a growing need for decentralised document capture processing; especially in branch office locations and across departments and teams. Organisations in insurance, finance, healthcare, transportation or government sectors have a growing demand for compact, easy to use scanners to improve the way they digitally capture and share information. The new imageFORMULA DR-C130 has been specifically designed for these busy and paper intensive environments.”

The new desktop scanner is extremely easy-to-use and comes with a full suite of powerful professional software enabling users to scan and process their documents more effectively. The bundled software includes CaptureOnTouch, CapturePerfect, eCopy PDF Pro Office, BizCard, PaperPort, OmniPage and Kofax VRS. Plugins for cloud based connectivity with Microsoft SharePoint, Evernote and Google Docs are also integrated, allowing users to instantly and seamlessly process documents to the cloud and access them from anywhere around the world. The DR-C130 also allows the installation of runtime controls that support direct communication with the EMC Captiva Cloud Toolkit, allowing software developers to effortlessly create web based scanning applications for the device.

To ensure precise and accurate document capturing, the new DR-C130 offers a variety of advanced image processing features, including auto colour detection, text orientation recognition, and ‘multistream’ processing that accommodates dual output workflows for increased efficiency and cost savings.

With its robust feeder mechanism, the DR-C130 ensures reliable batch scanning of mixed document types, including very thick documents such as embossed card or ID cards and long documents of up to 3 metres. The device comes with ultrasonic double feed detection that ensures all documents within a batch are processed. Its double feed release feature can save users valuable time when scanning, especially when feed errors resulting from, for example, scanning an envelope or a document with a sticky note attached are being detected. In these special cases users can quickly and conveniently ignore the double feed error and resume scanning by one click of a mouse.ensure precise and accurate document capturing, the new DR-C130 offers a variety of advanced image processing features, including auto colour detection, text orientation recognition, and ‘multistream’ processing that accommodates dual output workflows for increased efficiency and cost savings.
