Kodak Alaris i3500 Scanner, 5 Display, CCD Sensor, 600 x 600 DPI Optical Resolution

Description

The Kodak Alaris i3500 Scanner is a powerful, high-volume document scanner designed to handle the rigorous demands of large enterprises and document-heavy environments. It offers fast, reliable performance combined with advanced image processing capabilities, making it ideal for businesses requiring frequent and accurate document digitization.

Design and Build

The Kodak Alaris i3500 is designed with durability and performance in mind. Its robust build is engineered to withstand the daily challenges of high-volume scanning, making it suitable for busy office environments or centralized scanning operations. The scanner’s compact footprint allows it to fit comfortably in workspaces where space is at a premium, without compromising on performance.

A standout feature of the i3500 is its 5-inch color display. This large, easy-to-read touch screen provides users with a highly intuitive interface for accessing frequently used scanning functions, creating custom profiles, and monitoring scan jobs. The display enhances user experience by offering real-time feedback and easy navigation through various settings.

Scanning Performance

The i3500 excels in speed and efficiency. It is capable of handling up to 110 pages per minute (ppm) and 220 images per minute (ipm) in duplex mode, making it one of the fastest scanners in its class. This high-speed performance ensures that large volumes of documents can be processed quickly, reducing bottlenecks and improving overall productivity in document-intensive environments.

Equipped with a 600 x 600 dpi optical resolution, the i3500 delivers high-quality images with exceptional clarity. Whether scanning text-heavy documents, forms with intricate details, or images, the CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) sensor ensures that every document is captured with precision and accuracy. The high-resolution output is ideal for industries such as legal, finance, and healthcare, where document quality and legibility are crucial.

The scanner’s Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) can handle up to 300 sheets, allowing for efficient batch scanning. It supports a wide range of paper sizes and types, from business cards to long forms, providing flexibility to handle various document types with ease.

CCD Sensor Technology

The i3500 is equipped with CCD sensor technology, which ensures superior image quality compared to standard CIS (Contact Image Sensor) scanners. CCD sensors capture more depth and detail in scanned images, making the i3500 particularly suitable for scanning high-quality documents or images that require fine detail, color accuracy, and dynamic range.

Advanced Image Processing

The Kodak Alaris i3500 comes equipped with advanced image processing features that enhance the quality and usability of scanned documents. Perfect Page technology is a key feature, automatically optimizing scanned images for brightness, contrast, and color balance, even when dealing with poor-quality originals. This ensures that each scan is clear and legible, reducing the need for manual adjustments or re-scanning.

Other image processing features include automatic deskewing, blank page removal, and background smoothing. The i3500 also supports Optical Character Recognition (OCR), allowing users to convert scanned documents into searchable PDFs or editable text formats, streamlining document management and retrieval.

Productivity and Workflow Efficiency

The i3500 is designed to enhance productivity in high-volume environments. It includes several features that reduce downtime and streamline the scanning process. For instance, dual CIS technology allows for simultaneous duplex scanning, capturing both sides of a document in a single pass, which significantly speeds up the scanning process.

The scanner also features Intelligent Document Protection (IDP), which monitors document feed to detect and prevent jams or misfeeds. This helps ensure smooth operation and protects sensitive or fragile documents from damage during scanning.

The i3500 can handle up to 35,000 pages per day, making it suitable for environments where high-volume scanning is required, such as in service bureaus, financial institutions, or government agencies.

Connectivity and Integration

The Kodak Alaris i3500 is designed for seamless integration into modern office environments and workflows. It supports USB 3.1 for fast, reliable data transfer and is compatible with both Windows and macOS operating systems. The scanner also integrates with standard document management systems and supports TWAIN and ISIS drivers, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of applications and workflows.

Additionally, the scanner supports direct integration with cloud services, enabling users to scan and store documents directly into popular cloud-based storage solutions like Google Drive, Microsoft SharePoint, or Dropbox. This feature simplifies document archiving and sharing, making it easier to manage digital documents in a secure and organized manner.

Durability and Energy Efficiency

Built to handle intensive workloads, the i3500 is a durable, reliable choice for long-term use in high-demand environments. It is engineered for continuous operation, minimizing downtime and maintenance needs. The scanner also includes features such as automatic sleep mode to conserve energy when not in use, contributing to overall energy efficiency.

The i3500 is ENERGY STAR certified, reflecting its commitment to energy-efficient performance. Its low power consumption during operation helps businesses reduce energy costs while maintaining productivity.
