Mobile and Desktop Flexibility
in a Duplex Color Scanner
The Strobe 400 is a duplex scanner for the busy professional who needs a fast and reliable scanning
solution that can be used anywhere. Measuring only 11.6” x 2.5” x 2” and weighing a mere 22 ounces
the Visioneer Strobe 400 is the world’s smallest cross-platform document scanner. It easily fits on
a crowded desk or in a tight briefcase. With Visioneer’s AutoLaunch™ technology, the Strobe 400
automatically scans documents as soon as they are inserted into the scanner. When used in duplex
mode, it scans documents at only 6 seconds per image.
Designed to provide a low cost duplex scanning solution for vertical markets such as health-
care, banking, insurance, legal and retail, the Strobe 400 instantly turns paper documents into
distributable digital files. Users can scan, file and store all of their documents, plastic ID cards,
checks, articles, brochures and business cards regardless of location because the Strobe 400 may
be powered through a USB port, or via wall-power.

Visioneer® OneTouch®
Visioneer OneTouch is an easy to use utility that
connects the buttons on the Strobe scanner with
a powerful set of scanner settings to greatly
improve the efficiency of your workflow – so
that with one touch, the document is scanned
automatically to email, or Word, or your printer,
or simply a file folder.
Text Searchable PDF
If you can’t search your scanned documents by
their content, you might as well be looking at
paper again. The Strobe 400 can scan automati-
cally to searchable PDF. It preserves the integrity
of the scanned page so that layout, signatures,
logos, photos, etc., remain intact, but the text is
OCR’d so that you can search the document by its
content. This is very powerful when looking for a
single document among hundreds or thousands.
Kofax® VRS™ technology
The Strobe 400 integrates Kofax VRS image
enhancement technology into the OneTouch scan-
ning process. VRS is the gold-standard in image
improvement technology. Imperfect originals
are automatically turned into perfect scans that
are easier to read for the human eye and the
computer’s eye. OCR results are dramatically
improved, file size is decreased and scans look as
clear as the originals. And every page is custom
corrected automatically so you can batch together
clean, laser quality documents with your imperfect
originals. The results are amazing.
Nuance® PaperPort®
Millions of professionals rely on PaperPort to save
time and money by transforming paper documents

ers, print or the application of your choice is
