fi-5900C – A3 production volume document scanner
In defining and developing the fi-5900C, Fujitsu has focused its expertise
to deliver a truly unique, next-generation production level device that
can withstand any comparison in terms of productivity, versatility,
reliability, ease of use and ROI maximisation. This device sets out to
do what a production scanner should do first and foremost: process
paper efficiently, smoothly and quickly, whilst at the same time
minimising the pre- and post-processing task for the operator.
The fi-5900C scans a wider range of paper qualities with much higher reliability,
and whilst continuously feeding paper batches scanned images are processed and enhanced on the fly.
The fi-5900C provides selectable processing options through TWAIN or ISIS driver settings and by utilising
its on-board Kofax VRS 4.0 Plus interface module. The combination of scanning speed, ergonomic design and
paper handling functionalities, plus the vast range of built in image processing and enhancement possibilities,
minimises total operating time required to scan a predefined document volume.
Scanning Speed and Quality
New high speed CCD technology and latest image processing
circuitry increase the overall processing speed. Even at resolutions
of 300 dpi, 100 pages per minute or 200 images per minute can be
continuously captured in colour or monochrome mode. At the
same time, custom made CCD cameras enable brighter, more
crisp and secure image capture of even oversized or extremely
skewed documents, without losing information on the paper
documents’ outer margins.
Multi-zoning reliability
Ultrasonic sensors greatly increase the reliability of double feed
detection, especially when processing mixed document types.
The fi-5900C makes use of a combination of three individual
ultrasonic sensors. These can be set to detect or ignore specified
document zones, so attached labels are generally
not misinterpreted. The sensitivity characteristics
of the fi-5900C ultrasonic sensors enable correct
identification of even extremely thick materials
that often force comparable products into idling.
Superior paper processing and continuous
document protection
The fi-5900C combines paper transport characteristics that ensure
safe and smooth processing. This starts when placing a document
batch onto the scanner’s feeder tray, which allows for any desired
horizontal position by sliding the side guides accordingly.
The device then easily picks the document without having to apply
special care to the first sheet. Physical stress is minimised to the
extent that if sticky or stapled documents are included within the
batch, the scanner’s sensors
identify an overskew incident
and interrupt the scanning
process to prevent the
document from being
harmed or destroyed.
Inside the scanner’s chassis, multiple sensors monitor the alignment
of a paper sheet, its speed and transport criteria. Any registration
of abnormal paper behaviour will interrupt the transport process
before the sheet would pass the scanning zone, thus protecting
the high quality CCD modules from possible damage.
Documents that have passed the sensor zone are then captured
within a long, 100% straight scanning zone featuring high speed
CCD modules with ultra bright lamps. The images that are
produced by these modules are crisper, sharper and show
significantly less colour slippage.
When exiting the scanner body, documents are stacked on an
active tray that lowers itself as the batch increases. Sheet by sheet
is neatly stacked so the operator can quickly proceed with post
processing after the batch has been completely captured.
Complete corner capture
The fi-5900C features multiple sensors that recognise the leading
and trailing edges of documents and monitor the paper’s path
through the scanner. They ensure that paper is scanned until the
trailing edge has passed the scanning zone. This is additionally
supported by the broader width of the custom made high speed
CCD modules.
VRS 4.0 Plus included
The fi-5900C is fully equipped with a Kofax VRS 4.0 Plus hardware
module that can be used for adding advanced image enhancement
operations to the scanning process. These can even be combined
to receive digital document images that show high visual quality
and require little or no additional manual interference. Some of
the most advanced options include:

sensors
capable
of zoning
Very high speed up to 100 ppm / 200 ppm
at 300 dpi in colour and mono
• Intelligent content orientation recognition and auto-rotation
• Auto colour detection: Without the need for separation sheets
or patch codes VRS 4.0 Plus will automatically identify the
colour characteristics of the original document and store each
individual page accordingly. This increases processing speed
and minimises storage requirements.
• Blank page detection: VRS 4.0 Plus reliably detects blank pages
and deletes them, yet ensuring that pages containing even
minimum content are captured and stored.
• Background saturation making it appear smoother and saving
storage space required
Applying VRS 4.0 Plus advanced image enhancement functions to the scanning process might
impact the actual scanning speed compared to the rated speed.This is due to processing time
needed and does not indicate abnormal product behaviour.
Paper handling features
• 100% straight paper path within capture zone
• Extremely low jam rate due to combination of paper path
characteristics and torque control mechanism. This ensures
smooth paper handling and low physical stress, protecting
documents from destruction
• Scans mixed batches of paper documents (quality, size, paper
weight, can vary significantly)
• Comfortable feeding of different volume batches by adapting
the hopper height to three optional positions
• Left, right or centre position alignment of document batches
according to individual operator needs or document specifics
• Continuous manual feeding mode using the regular hopper
• Multifeed detection using three different operator definable
methods:
• Multi-Zoning Ultrasonic sensors that can be specified
to monitor or ignore defined document segments
• Paper length detection
• Combined mode activating ultrasonic and paper length detection
Image quality features
• Scan in monochrome, grayscale or colour
• Optical resolution of up to 600 dpi
• Scan at the same rated speed when using optical 300 dpi
setting in all colour modes
• Multi-stream mode available for simultaneously creating two
images in different colour modes
• Supports drop out colour definition of any available colour
• Automatic de-skew
• Automatic colour detection
• Anti-Corner cutting enabled by overskew control
Image processing features
• Auto-Binarisation
• Continuous, almost uninterrupted scanning operation, since the
fi-5900C recalibrates on the fly without operator intervention
• Enables blank page detection and automatic discarding
• Custom made CCD modules that capture document
information within a horizontal range of 317mm. This results in
de-skewing documents from 6° to 24° depending on their format.
• Wide range of image file formats including TIFF, BMP, JPEG
and PDF
