Both hardware & software are equally important in the Fujitsu fi-7160 scanner. The newly developed Paper Stream IP driver & image processing middleware combined with the Paper Stream Capture software offer simplified & automated batch scanning routines that intelligently convert batches of documents into predetermined work routines. This new fi series model offers USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 support & is designed to make end-to-end scanning processes faster. The fi-7160 model processes up to 60 sheets/120 pages per minute (A4, color, duplex, 300 dpi). Additional functions also help deliver top results. For example, it is easy to scan a mixed batch containing sheets of different sizes & thicknesses. The scanner mechanically straightens any documents that may have been fed askew & Paper Stream IP also automatically corrects any remaining irregularities. An ultrasonic sensor recognizes whether two or more sheets have fed in & issues an error message. Even sticky notes do not delay the workflow as the system recognizes them automatically. Further, user support is provided through the scanners' LCD panel which provides straightforward operation flows & allows users to select profiles directly on the device, check the quantity of scanned documents or review any status messages.
