BÖWE BELL + HOWELL Truper with Long Document Handling

Long document handling on BÖWE BELL + HOWELL’s low-volume production scanner, Truper, allows hospitals and other healthcare organizations to scan vital patient records of unlimited length easily and reliably. The technology eliminates the labor-intensive process of cutting long documents—such as fetal monitoring strips and EKG printouts—into measured sections or mounting them on standard size sheets prior to scanning.

Introduced to help users better comply with medical recordkeeping requirements, Truper with long document scanning offers healthcare organizations an easy, low-cost way to preserve complete records of patients’ health. Reducing the pre-scan preparation time also saves hospitals labor and expense.

Truper includes long document scanning as a standard, “user-selectable” feature. This allows healthcare users to activate the technology through the scanner’s interface and switch easily between long and regular page modes. For instance, a scanner operator can alternate scanning fetal monitoring strips with HCFA forms without making manual adjustments to scanner values or drivers.

Truper scans up to 62 standard size pages per minute (106 images per minute) and 10,000 pages per day—the highest daily duty cycle in its category. It can scan long documents with JPEG compression in color, bitonal or grayscale. For more information visit www.bbhscanners.com.

Because Mission-critical Workloads Demand Real-world Speed

On paper, the KODAK i780 Scanner outruns the competition with speeds up to 130 ppm. But unlike competing products, it delivers that maximum scanning while meeting real needs under real-world conditions. You get true 130 ppm performance, even when scanning:

  • at up to 300 dpi resolution
  • in color, grayscale or black-and-white
  • in dual stream mode (outputting up to four images per scan)
  • with all advanced features enabled

Real-world performance makes the KODAK i780 Scanner the one to choose for missioncritical, high-volume forms processing across a broad range of applications.

Reliable, Extra-versatile Paper Handling

The KODAK i780 model easily scans mixed batches of business documents, photos, tear sheets and graphics. A flexible input design enables it to handle a wide range of document sizes and shapes. And an included short-document exit tray allows for efficient stacking of smaller documents.

SurePath technology delivers the paper-feeding reliability you need for uninterrupted workflow—while ultrasonic multi-feed detection helps prevent misfeeds by recognizing labels, stick-on notes, and stucktogether documents.

And for added peace of mind, no matter where in the world you do business, all the support you need is nearby. Our global team of service experts is there for you around the clock.
