Boost Your Business Efficiency with
a Ledger-Size, High-Speed Scanner

The fast 90-ppm* scan speed and
200-page Automatic Document Feeder
are ideal for both large-volume scanning
and dispersed input. ToughFeed,
Panasonic's unique paper feed
mechanism, also helps to minimizes
damage to important documents and
ensures more precise feeding.

Innovative Paper Feed Mechanism

Stapled Document Detection

Preventing Damage to the Scanning Glass

Multiple sensors are used to detect various
types of stapled documents, and to immediately
stop the scanner when stapling is detected. This
minimizes damage to both the document and
the optical glass.

Staples are quickly and accurately detected, to minimize damage to the optical glass and the document.

Ultrasonic Double-Feed Detection

Accurate Scanning

The KV-S5055C is equipped with an ultrasonic
sensor, which accurately detects double-feeding
even when scanning documents of various
thicknesses. When detected, the ultrasonic
sensor prevents double-feeding by immediately
stopping the scanning process.

The sensor detect double-feeding and
stops the scanner immediately.

Superior Roller Mechanisms

Precise Feeding

The paper feed rollers separate from the paper each time
a sheet is fed, so the tendency to double-feed caused
by the paper feed roller pressure is reduced, even
when feeding paper of different thicknesses. Any
paper sliding is also detected and the double feed
prevention roller pressure is adjusted to prevent
the paper from slipping and jamming.

Any lifting of the document is detected.

Prevention Roller

When paper sliding is
detected, the double feed

pressure is increased.

Double Feed Skip (DFS) Key

Should a scan operation stop due to the detection of
double-feeding, simply press the DFS key to resume
scanning. This is convenient when you don't want
scanning to stop due to documents with things like
receipts or sticky notes attached, or envelopes.

Image Capture Plus Enables
Versatile Image Processing

Image Capture Plus is an application that transfers image data scanned by a Panasonic
high-speed document scanner to a PC in the form of an image file. This software lets you
edit scanned pages (switch pages, delete pages, etc.) intuitively using thumbnail images.
It also allows you to make various settings to facilitate complex scanning processes and
serves as a powerful tool for efficiently processing routine business work, such as filing.

Intuitive Operation

Scanned images can be displayed page by page in a thumbnail list. Pages can be easily
moved and their positions switched by dragging and dropping the thumbnails of the pages.

Moving pages within a document

E-mail Attachment

Scanned data can be directly attached
to an e-mail with a single click of a button.

Use the mouse to drag the page to

the position where you want to move it.

the position that you dragged it to.

Easy-to-Use Data Formats

Images can be saved in various data formats, such as PDF,
JPEG, TIFF and Bitmap. Scanned data can be moved and
saved in a selected folder all at once. Plus, PDF data and
text-searchable data can be generated.

Select PDF (Searchable).

Text-searchable data is generated.

A Wealth of Image Processing Functions

Automatic Image Orientation

No more worries about the document's direction

Even when documents are set in different directions, this function
detects the direction of the scanned text in documents and
automatically rotates it into the correct direction.

The page will move to

PreScan

In the preview window,
you can confirm what the
scanned image will look
like under the current
scan settings. You can
make fine adjustments to
brightness, contrast and
other parameters while
looking at the final result,
and then save the desired
scan settings. This boosts
work efficiency by
preventing wasted scans.

Automatic Binary/ Color Distinction

No more need to pre-sort documents

Automatic Binary/ Color Distinction allows the scanner to recognize
color and black and white pages. This feature reduces scan to file
size while promoting a more efficient scanning process.

such as checks, stock certificates, post cards, and business cards.

cropped and stored in the appropriate size. Also, skewed documents are
automatically straightened when they are scanned.

Excellent readability and accuracy

With the Dynamic Threshold function, the
background density and color are

and the scan setting (brightness control) is
automatically adjusted to ensure sharp
scanning of both text and images.

Multi Color Dropout

Convenient for OCR processing

Any of up to three specific color ranges
on the document can be selected as a
dropout color. This function, when used
in form processing applications, can
greatly improve OCR performance and
accuracy, resulting in increased
productivity and potential cost savings.

Multi Stream

Single pass for dual output

The Multistream function enables a single scan to be
saved as two separate formats simultaneously. For
example the document will be saved in monochrome
(B/W) for OCR and archival purposes, and saved as a full
color image for short term on-screen retrieval.

image. Round or square black shapes
around the edges are replaced with the
color closest to the document.

The Smooth Background function analyses images while
scanning for background color content, and outputs the images
with the background color solidified. This increases viewing
clarity and reduces JPEG output file size.

Ionizer

The ion-filled breeze created
by the ionizer neutralizes the
electrical charge on the
documents to be scanned,
and reduces the amount of
paper dust that clings to
their surface. This ion-filled
breeze also flows through
the paper path and removes
paper dust from the scan­ning glass to reduce the
need for the user to clean
the glass.

Long Paper Mode

Accurately Feeds Various Sized Documents High-Speed Scanning of Sheets up to 100 feet Long

Documents with different sizes and thicknesses can all be fed
together. They can be set in center, left, or right alignment. By using
left or right single-side alignment, there is no more need to spend
time organizing documents according to their size, so scanning is
fast and easy. This function greatly increases work efficiency.

The highly reliable paper feed mechanism
quickly and stably scans long documents. This
function boosts work efficiency by smoothly
scanning long documents like continuous
business forms or electrocardiograms.

The pre-imprinter prints text (date
and/or number) onto the surface of a
document before its image is
scanned, so the text data is included
in the scanned image data. This
improves filing efficiency.
