Successful testing demonstrated Captaris RightFax, FaxPress and Alchemy MFP Module provide efficient capture, distribution and archival for documents scanned via Canon imageFORMULA ScanFront 220 network scanners.
The ScanFront 220 (standard) and 220P (professional) devices enable scanning and delivery of documents to network destinations. Captaris solutions automate the management of paper and document processes. Together, the technologies provide a full range of reliable and efficient document management capabilities.
For document distribution, Canon and Captaris users select the Scan-to- Email option via the ScanFront 220 touch-screen interface. RightFax and FaxPress then retrieve and send the documents via an email gateway that allows the delivery of faxes from an email client using SMTP. To load files in the Alchemy MFP Module digital repository, users scan documents via the Scan-to- Shared Folder selection, then index the files from any networked PC. ScanFront 220 devices also allow routing of scanned files to FTP servers or USB memory. The compact color duplex scanners handle up to 26 letter-sized pages per minute (35 ipm).
“Canon’s ScanFront capture and sharing technology enhances document collaboration within a customer’s network,” noted Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. “The combination of Canon’s ScanFront and Captaris solutions extend productivity and cost- efficiency for communication with external contacts and for secure, accessible digital archival.”
“Canon and Captaris customers recognize the demands of a digital workplace. Our joint solutions provide tools to manage the full range of document-related tasks so customers can focus on core business objectives rather than shuffling paper,” said Paul Yantus, executive vice president of marketing and new product development for Captaris.
