AS3600 Operator Manual - OPEX Corp. Use Only - Not for Distribution
Overview
The AS3600 is a high-speed, color scanner that serves to reduce the costs and time
involved in processing documents. By scanning paper documents and converting
them into electronic files, the AS3600 makes processing mail and other paper
documents as simple as pressing a few buttons. In just one step, the AS3600 can
identify, prepare, capture, orient, read, create an audit trail, and sort your
documents for you.
The AS3600 system can process up to 3600 pieces of mail per hour. It can scan
unfolded legal size sheets, envelopes, checks and stubs, to business cards. It will
maintain transaction boundaries automatically, indicating the beginning and end of
a group of documents in a transaction.
Other features of the AS3600 include:
• PC Controller A powerful computer platform completes a turnkey scanning
system. Allows data to be easily accessed throughout the capture process.
• Color 15" Flat-Screen Display Provides a large, clear display for easy document
viewing.
• Touch-screen controls Eliminates the immediate need for the keypad because of
its convenient accessibility -- command of the system is always within arm's
reach.
• Duplex scanner from 100 to 300 DPI: 60 ppm B & W, 60 ppm Gray Scale, 60 ppm
Color (100 DPI) Allows most documents to be imaged in its original format.
•DropFeederDirects the document into position to ensure that the best image is
captured --- operator need only drop documents onto the feeder to be scanned.
• Semi-automatic packet feeder Allows the operator to drop multiple pages onto the
feeder, which are then automatically separated and scanned as individual pages
without additional operator assistance.
• Output formats available: IEM or ASCII, TIFF and JPEG The system generates one
of two file formats, IEM or ASCII. IEM Format consists of a single binary data file
and single stacked image file. The ASCII data format is a generic data file and
individual TIFF and/or JPEG image files.
• Double feed, length, thickness and envelope detect Detects and identifies
transaction boundaries through the use of a unique "intelligent scanning" ability.
• Image Enhancement Uses a process known as "dynamic image enhancement" to
enhance overall image quality with features such as image de-skew, cropping and
dynamic thresholding.
• In-Line Barcode Recognition, Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR), Optical
Mark-Sense Recognition (OMR) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Allows
the operator to pre-select a variety of recognition and sort combinations.
• Imprinter (front and back) Imprints data on either the front, back or both of each
document for thorough audit trail from the initial contact to the completion of
processing. The audit trail can be electronically embedded in a selected zone of
the image.
