FUJITSU FI-7160 A4 ADF Paperstream IP USB 3.0 Image Scanner

Product Information

The fi-7160 comes equipped with a centralised administration feature that system administrators can use to manage the installation and operation of multiple image scanners and network scanners from one location. Automatic detection enables the fi-7160 to create image output formats in colour or monochrome, based on the actual document content. There is no need to change settings manually. The fi-7160 brings industry leading mixed batch scanning capabilities to the desktop with a design that allows for a record breaking mixed batch feeding range from 27 - 413 g/m², freeing the user from most paper weight related pre-sorting requirements.

You can even extract data from documents as they are being scanned with a profile's Meta Data option. We previewed a sample scan, drew a box round the area we wanted zonal OCR to be applied and could request the information within it to be exported as a TXT, CSV or XML file when the scan finished. Fujitsu reps have told me more than once that their higher-end scanners like the fi-8170 operate under the assumption that the machine is likely to be deployed in an existing, high-end document management solution. But if not—if you're preparing to roll out a new document archiving application—between Fujitsu's bundled programs and available add-ons, you can create and maintain a basic solution, a sophisticated one, or anything in between. Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection Sensor, iSOP (Intelligent Sonic Paaper Protection), Intelligent Multi-Feed Function (Manual Bypass) Whether the infrastructure is fixed or expanding, managing technology efficiently inside the organization is key to reducing total cost of ownership and the Fujitsu scanner provides system administrators with advanced software tools to centrally manage the scanner more productively and cost effectively. With the scanner's Intelligent Multifeed function, document sheets that include attached repositionable notes or photos are recognised along with the location of the attachment. With appropriate software settings, the scanner automatically prevents user-defined zones from triggering alert conditions, allowing continuous, uninterrupted scanning.

Why Choose Fujitsu Scanners?

Our patentedǂ Automatic Separation Control delivers the perfect feed so organisations can scan larger volumes and mixed batches of documents with confidence. By sensing their weight and adapting and adjusting torque automatically, mis-feed and mid-scan interruptions are eliminated. This guarantees feed stability for different document formats and saves users from wasting time sorting different document types into individual batches. It also enables the 100 sheet ADF capacity and higher speeds for more efficient, high-throughput workgroup scanning. Most high-volume document scanners like this one, including but not limited to the Epson DS-970 and DS-870 workgroup scanners, the abovementioned Raven Pro and Alaris S2060w, and Canon's ImageFormula DR-M260, are relatively close in size and girth. Like them, the fi-8170 supports basic scan setup and execution, as well as selecting predefined workflow profiles, from an onboard control panel. The latter consists of a series of buttons—Stop/Clear, Scan/Error, Menu, Manual Feed, and Power—anchored by a small rectangular display. You can set up your scans from the control panel or choose a workflow profile from the display. A high-quality, front end scanning software, PaperStream Capture Pro enhances Fujitsu fi Series' superior scanning abilities with an improved feature set that includes options for high level data extraction and indexing, the import of electronic images, and support for multi-station licensing. PaperStream Capture Pro offers cost-effective improvement tools such as PaperStream IP for optimized image capture. As a distributed capture model, this scanner software captures your data without added costs and resources. This solution benefits organizations and departments that require an efficient yet easy way to convert paper documents into a digital file for high level data indexing and extraction. Improve records management processes and drive down business expenses with PaperStream Capture Pro. Centralized Efficiency

The software is designed to maximize administrator and user usability. Operation is simple to eliminate time spent on sorting scanned images and boost overall productivity.

Scanner Case Study

Even so, the two scanners measure an identical 6.4 by 11.8 by 6.7 inches (HWD) with their trays closed, and the newer device is only half a pound heavier, at 9.8 pounds. Like comparable document scanners, the fi-8170 increases its depth more than threefold when its trays are open for business. With trays extended, the fi-8170 is three or four times deeper. The patentedǂ feeding mechanism ensures safe capture of passports without a carrier sheet, while MRZ recognition ensures consistently accurate capture of personal data. If you need your documents to show evidence of having been scanned, the optional imprinter will "stamp" the reverse side of your documents additionally providing a cross-reference from your digital files.

Embossed Card Scanning Capability, Long Document Scanning, Scanner Central Admin management, USB 3.0 Support, iSOP (Intelligent Sonic Paper Protection), Automatic: Color Recognition, Paper-Size Detection, De-skew Correction Whichever Fujitsu scanner you choose you will not be disappointed with the amazing value for money you'll get with these top scanners. Our Featured ScannersWindows® 11 *16, Windows® 10 *16, Windows® 8.1, Windows® 7, Windows Server® 2022, Windows Server® 2019, Windows Server® 2016, Windows Server® 2012 R2, Windows Server® 2012, Windows Server® 2008 R2, macOS, Linux (Ubuntu) In scanning the same document to searchable PDF, which adds a text-recognition stage, the fi-7160 averaged 1 minute 26 seconds. This is faster than most scanners, but just out of the top tier. The Epson DS-860 averaged 1:12, while the Canon imageFormula DR-C225 , our Editors' Choice personal and micro-office document scanner and rated at just 25ppm and 50ipm, averaged 1:09. Windows® 10 (14), Windows® 8.1, Windows® 7, Windows Server® 2019, Windows Server® 2016, Windows Server® 2012 R2, Windows Server® 2012, Windows Server® 2008 R2, Windows Server® 2008 (16), macOS (13)(15), Linux (Ubuntu) (13)(15) The PaperStream IP scanner driver, supporting both TWAIN/ISIS, eliminates the need of making fine setting adjustments for OCR processes. It automatically converts images into exceptionally clean images, accelerating OCR even when scanning wrinkled, soiled and patterned documents.

You don't, however, need to extend the scanner's trays all the way—the device is designed to work with the trays in various stages of extension. The scanner can be configured for smaller loads that eject onto the desktop, saving all kinds of space. For the record, the Epson DS-870 and Raven Pro scanners tied the Fujitsu's accuracy; the Canon DR-M260 managed 5 points error-free with Arial and 6 points with Times New Roman, while the Alaris turned in a highly respectable 6 points with both. (Again, direct comparisons with the Epson DS-970 weren't practical.) It's important to note that all these scores are better than acceptable. In document imaging and management technology, seven years is a very long shelf life, perhaps as many as two or three generations. As I said a moment ago, everything about this new model improves on its fi-7160 predecessor, and as you can see below, the fi-8170 looks nothing like the 2015 version. The Fujitsu fi-8170 (right) bears little resemblance to 2015's model fi-7160 (left). Windows® 10 (16), Windows® 8.1, Windows® 7, Windows Server® 2019, Windows Server® 2016, Windows Server® 2012 R2, Windows Server® 2012, Windows Server® 2008 R2, Windows Server® 2008 (17), macOS (18)(19), Linux (Ubuntu) (18)(19) The fi-7160 has been introduced to support increasingly diverse business related document capture routines at the desktop of individual knowledge workers or small workgroups. Simple, productivity-boosting operation virtually eliminates training requirements, both when using the scanner for regular document management routines as well as when using latest "ScanSnap Manager for fi Series scanners" software to accomplish individual ad hoc tasks.Automatically adjust scanning area to prevent image loss on skewed documents, removing the need to ever have to rescan slightly skewed documents. Three precisely positioned sensors detect document edges and adjust the scanning area accordingly to fit the document, even if it has been inserted at a skewed angle. Users can scan safe in the knowledge that the entire document will be scanned every time and no part of the image will ever be lost. For example, if you have a printer then you need a driver for that printer so that your computer knows how to use it properly. Sometimes, your PC doesn’t find the necessary drivers or finds old ones that no longer work properly. Although our timed speed fell short of its rated speed in our tests, the fi-7160 is still a fast scanner. To its credit, it didn't lose any time in scanning and saving two-sided documents over simplex. The Epson WorkForce DS-860, our Editors' Choice for moderate to heavy-duty scanning in a midsize office, and rated at a slightly faster 65ppm for simplex and 130ipm for duplex, scanned the same test file at a 54ppm/91ipm clip. They are installed on the PC when you first turn it on or plug in a new device. Drivers can come pre-installed on your computer or you can find them online if you need specific ones for certain components. Profiles are simple to create using the wizard and combine scan settings such as colour, greyscale or mono output, resolutions, paper sizes and duplex or simplex. Destinations can be a local folder, a network location, FTP or SharePoint server but cloud locations aren't supported as Fujitsu's clunky Capture Connect app is no longer available.
