Kodak i780 Product Information page 28

• Canon's 600 dpi resolution scanning capability is available in limited scenarios. For example,
the product cannot scan large documents (more than 17 inches), color documents, or two-
sided documents at 600 dpi.
• Kodak i780 Scanner technology for multifeed detection (with ultrasonic technology) can
handle mixed batch documents, and runs at rated speed at 200 and 300 dpi. Whereas, the
Canon Scanner speed slows down with several critical features. Specifically, the Canon
Scanner will not run at rated speed with auto orientation / auto rotation turned on in color
mode, and it has difficulty running mixed document sets.
• The Kodak i780 Scanner produces dual stream output at rated speed. With a capture software
application that supports multiple streams, dual stream is an advantage as it allows a color
image to be leveraged in the validation stage of a typical work flow, then deleted, while the
black and white image, a smaller file, can be archived – without an additional document scan
required. The Canon Scanner does not offer dual stream scanning.
• Kodak Scanners are backed by factory-trained employees providing world-class service and
support for all hardware and software.
Kodak i780 Scanner vs. Fujitsu 5900C
• The Kodak i780 Scanner is a robust, ergonomically designed scanner, able to handle a
production level duty cycle, and performing 8% faster (running at 200 and 300 dpi) than the
Fujitsu fi-5900C Scanner. The Fujitsu fi-5900C Scanner design, specifically it's height, makes
it difficult to effectively run the machine for periods of 8 hours or more.
• The Kodak i780 Scanner offers superb image processing, utilizing Kodak's Perfect Page
image quality algorithm. In contrast, the Fujitsu fi-5900C images are dark, noisy and grainy,
and the product struggles when handling documents with binder holes. Kodak's Perfect Page
technology provides an array of image quality capabilities to effectively manage production
level scanning needs, including:
− Deskew
− Cropping
− Color dropout
− Dynamic thresholding (iThresholding)
− Contrast control
− Blank page detection
− Auto Orientation / Auto Rotation (AO/AR)
• Kodak i780 Scanner technology for multifeed detection (with ultrasonic technology) can
handle mixed batch documents reliably, and runs at rated speed at 200 and 300 dpi. In
contrast, the Fujitsu 5900C Scanner speed is limited to 100 ppm with VRS enabled. Specific
image quality features contribute to the Fujitsu scanners throughput decline of 31% one-sided
mode and 72% two-sided mode @ 200 dpi, and a reduction of 51% in one-sided mode, and
85% two-sided mode @ 300 dpi, including: blank page detection, deskew, auto cropping, and
auto orientation /auto rotation having the greatest impact to Fujitsu's throughput decline.
Additionally, the Fujitsu scanner has difficulty managing small documents; specifically, small
documents can disappear in the transport.
• The Kodak i780 Scanner can scan longer documents (up to 34 inches / 864 mm) at rated
speed. The Fujitsu scanner cannot handle longer documents, supporting only documents up
to 17 inches / 432 mm.
• Kodak Scanners are backed by factory-trained employees providing world-class service and
support for all hardware and software.
