Scanner Overview

This section explains the names and functions of the scanner components, as well as the methods for basic operations.

Main Features

This section explains the main features of this product. The scanner is equipped with the following features:
Realizes a scanning speed of 140 sheets/280 pages per minute (under JPEG compression)
With a high-speed CCD and a high-speed image processing circuit installed, the scanner can achieve a scanning speed of up to 140 sheets/280 pages per minute (300 dpi) [fi-7900] with A4/Letter color documents. This allows you to scan up to approximately 120,000 sheets per day [fi-7900].
Mounts a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
The scanner mounts an LCD that displays various operational settings for scanning, number of pages scanned, and error status. This allows you to easily check the status of the scanner.
Improved efficiency for pre- and post-scan work
The scanner supports "batch scanning" which allows you to scan documents with different paper weights and sizes at once. This simplifies the process of sorting the documents before scanning. Also, the new "Elevator Stacker" has been adopted which automatically keeps the stacker at a certain height. This prevents the scanned documents from being scattered in the output, which makes the scan operation more efficient.
Reduced work loss caused by multifeeds
The scanner mounts an ultrasonic multifeed sensor that accurately detects errors when two or more sheets are fed through the scanner at once (called "multifeed"). This multifeed detection is reliable even when scanning a mixed batch of documents with different paper weights and sizes, avoiding potential work loss.
Intelligent multifeed detection function
When there is paper of the same size attached to a designated location on the page, the Intelligent Multifeed Detection recognizes the location of the attachment. This allows you to continue scanning instead of detecting every paper attached to that location as multifeed.
Function for protecting documents [Paper Protection]
This function reduces the risk of having your documents damaged in such ways, by stopping the scan when the scanner detects a document that is unusually warped.
13
Scanner Overview
Various functions to help the operators
"Anti-Dust Coating Glass built-in Paper Path" keeps the surface of the scan glass clean, reducing the operators' work load by extending the cleaning cycles. "Automatic Stacker" is adopted which stacks the scanned documents neatly, reducing the operators' work load by shortening the time to prepare and sort the documents. "Automatic Image Quality Checker" checks through the scanned images and displays images that are in poor condition.
Advanced image processing functions
The scanner's automatic detection function outputs images in color or monochrome by document content. You do not have to change the settings every time you scan.
Front-Side/Back-Side Imprinter option
Front-Side/Back-Side Imprinters are available as scanner options, which are often demanded for managing/ verifying vouchers and business forms. You can select Front-Side Imprinter (to print on the front side of the document) or Back-Side Imprinter (to print on the back side of the document) for improved usability.
Centralized management of multiple scanners
The bundled "Scanner Central Admin Agent" application allows you to manage multiple scanners together, for example, to update the scanner settings and drivers, as well as to monitor the operating status of each scanner. For details, refer to the Scanner Central Admin User's Guide.
