Fujitsu fi-5220C scanner

The Fujitsu fi-5220C desktop sheet-feed and flatbed document scanners are loaded with all the functionality, speed, flexibility and reliability that throughout the past couple of years have convinced more than 50% of all document scanner operators worldwide to choose a Fujitsu document scanner for their desktop. Now, the fi-5220C marks a milestone in professional document scanner use, even broadening the scope and scale of benefits you receive from Fujitsu’s expertise in document scanner technology. The more you use the fi-5220C, the more you’ll love them!

Rated Speeds and flexibility of use

The Fujitsu fi-5220C scanners are the ideal scanners for small and mid-size businesses that need to archive documents, scan in reports to OCR or implement an efficient document management system. They are also perfectly suited for more sophisticated document management and workflow solutions, where scanners are needed at a single user or workgroup level. The  fi-5220C offers high speed scanning at up to 30 pages per minute or 60 images per minute (double-sided) in both mono and colour (at 150 dpi), enabling users to reliably scan quantities of up to 1000 documents per day. The scanners’ duplex capability enables the capture of both sides of the original document in just one pass, whilst the 50 sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) is ideal for unattended scanning of multi-page documents and batches, where paper sizes may vary from A8 to A4 or legal. 

The Fujitsu fi-5220C combines the highly efficient ADF with an A4 size flatbed unit for scanning critical or historically valuable documents, photo materials, magazine pages or pages from books. When using the ADF, the flatbed unit’s lid serves as a document batch stacker keeping even this devices footprint compact enough to be ideally placed on any desktop.

Options for fi-5220C

In a scenario where different batches of alike documents are to be scanned regularly, Fujitsu’s driver extension SoftIPC V.2.5 can be used.

The fi-5220C can be operated as a network device when attached to Fujitsu’s fi-5000N network adapter. This unique device is the only network adapter that allows multiple users to access a shared scanner from within their regular archiving application, just as if it were directly attached to their workstation. Additionally, it provides secure network access by identifying fingerprints or ID codes of authorised personnel.
(Note the fi-5120C Imprinter is not suitable for use with the fi-5220C)

Paper or embossed card handling and double feed detection

When scanning documents, you cannot afford to miss valuable information. The fi-5220C ensures that every single page of a batch of documents will reliably feed through the scanners ADF. The scanners feature an absolute straight paper path, minimising physical stress on the paper itself, and the fi-5220C will even permit you to regularly scan embossed plastic cards compliant to ISO 7810. Chances are high that neither will an individual sheet of paper ever be crumpled, nor will you encounter misfeeds.

The fi-5220C is equipped with an ultrasonic double feed detection mechanism that will immediately interrupt the paper transport should it detect one or more sheets of paper being drawn into the paper path simultaneously. This might occur if two pages have been glued or stapled together, or if a sticky note has been attached to the document. This unique detection mechanism is unrivalled within the fi-5220C class of document scanners and greatly improves reliability and ease of the scanning process.

The Fujitsu fi-5220C offers high quality capture in mono, greyscale or colour at optical resolutions of up to 600 dpi, and a variety of processing functions enable the image enhancement of even the poorest quality original documents. The operator can select from a wide range of output file formats, including TIFF, JPEG, BMP and PDF, the open de facto standard for electronic file exchange and a worldwide legal standard for archiving (PDF-A format).

A full version of Adobe® Acrobat® 7.0 Standard is included with the  fi-5220C. So with this package even commenting, digitally signing and forwarding documents to a group of recipients becomes easy and both scanner models allow referencing to original documents, when the operator chooses digital imprinting to be virtually affixed to every scanned image.

The fi-5220C combines both relevant dimensions of quality document scanning: speed and visibly good images. In a professional environment scanning quickly becomes routine, so it should be fast without adding to the workload of the operator. At the same time, scanned documents should be transformed to visibly good quality images. The Fujitsu fi-5220C scanners perform image processing and enhancement based on their own hardware when scanning. All enhancement functionalities are user selectable from within the included TWAIN and ISIS driver packages, directly influencing the scanners’ actions. Additionally, these models include a full license of Kofax VRS 4.1 Basic for utmost capturing simplicity and streamlined business process automation. It enables information workers to focus on their productive tasks, at the same time supporting them to capture information from paper documents by virtually pressing a button. VRS will dynamically adjust scanner settings for each document, ensuring next to perfect image quality every time you scan, without forcing you to become a master in scanning.

Making use of the fi-5220C for every day document capture can be designed exactly to the individual’s needs. For this purpose not only the resolution, colour mode or output format can be defined, but the operator can select to apply functions like image emphasis, error diffusion, moiré removal, dithering, drop out colour definition, auto-cropping, de-skew, and background colour switching.

Furthermore, when scanning batches of documents in monochrome mode, the fi-5220C supports the operator with the function of "Advanced Dynamic Threshold Control", which automatically optimizes every single page of the batch individually to its visible quality as well as to its usability for further processing tasks like OCR and ICR.
