Image Processing and Enhancement

The Kodak Alaris S2080w comes with a suite of advanced image processing features that ensure high-quality scans with minimal manual intervention. Perfect Page technology automatically adjusts brightness, contrast, color, and orientation, optimizing the quality of each scanned document regardless of the condition of the original. This feature is particularly useful when scanning old or damaged documents, ensuring that text remains legible and images clear.

The scanner also offers automatic features such as blank page detection and removal, de-skewing, and cropping, reducing the need for post-scan corrections. For users who require searchable or editable documents, the S2080w supports Optical Character Recognition (OCR), enabling the creation of searchable PDFs and text files for easy retrieval and editing.

Productivity Features

Designed for high productivity, the S2080w includes a range of features aimed at making the scanning process faster and more efficient. Its dual CIS (Contact Image Sensor) technology allows for single-pass duplex scanning, capturing both sides of a document in one go, reducing the time spent on scanning tasks. The scanner also features Intelligent Document Protection (IDP), which detects and prevents paper jams or misfeeds, ensuring smooth operation even when scanning mixed document types.

The scanner’s customizable profiles allow users to set up frequent tasks with predefined settings, simplifying repetitive scanning jobs. These profiles can be easily accessed via the color touch screen, making it easy for multiple users to quickly switch between tasks or preferences.
