RICOH INTRODUCES IS760/IS760D IMAGE SCANNER SERIES
Advanced Color Scanning with Enhanced Reliability and Image Quality
West Caldwell, NJ, June, 1 2005 – Ricoh Corporation, the leading provider of digital
office equipment, today introduced the Ricoh® IS760/IS760D Image Scanner Series.
These two flatbed color scanners are designed to streamline the document workflow
process with impressive speed and reliability, sharp image quality and flawless paper
handling with a standard 200-page Automatic Document Feeder.
In today’s office environment, businesses continuously seek to perfect the balance
between performance and quality. With 400 dpi optical resolution, high-paper feed
reliability, and simplex scans as fast as 40 pages-per-minute (ppm) color and 75 ppm
black and white, the IS760/IS760D Image Scanner Series significantly enhances
workflow efficiency. The scanners’ Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection delivers
dependable document feeding with less double feeding of mission-critical documents.
Additionally, with a more durable design than other scanners in its class, the feed rollers
never have to be replaced, ensuring uninterrupted performance.
To expedite the scanning process, the IS760D Image Scanner supports One-Pass Duplex
Scanning technology, which enables both sides of a document to be captured at the same
time. This allows for fast scans of 62 images-per-minute (ipm) color and 122 ipm black
and white image capture. The IS760/IS760D Image Scanner Series also features standard
TWAIN and ISIS drivers for greater flexibility of scanning applications. In addition, the
latest Ricoh TWAIN Driver improves the image data appearance in documents by letting
users combine two or four pages of scanned documents to create a single image or divide
them into two separate images. The included QuickScan capture software utilizes the
ISIS drivers image capture features to convert scanned images from printed pages into
usable content that can easily be integrated into applications using TIFF, JPEG, or
Bitmap formats.
“The IS760/IS760D Image Scanner Series is a prime example of how Ricoh continuously
sets the standard in creating efficient document management solutions that help
customers remain productive,” said Hede Nonaka, vice president of marketing, Ricoh
Corporation. “Since the scanners support standard SCSI-3 and USB 2.0, customers
experience easy installation, optimum throughput and high-speed connectivity.”
In order to maximize the scanners’ functionality, an optional network interface box
seamlessly connects the IS760/IS760D Image Scanner Series to users’ networks with
sophisticated features including Scan-to-E-mail/Folder/Print, and Network TWAIN. In
addition, the optional Image Processing Unit expands the scanners’ performance by
enabling operation of an auto photo/letter function to automatically adjust for text and
photos, and saves the file to the appropriate image quality settings. Other functions
include dynamic threshold, which automatically alters the contrast so documents are
more readable, and select area, which lets users select and set scanning conditions.
The IS760 Image Scanner is available at the suggested retail price of $5,795, and the
IS760D Image Scanner is available for $6,795.
