If all documents were standard size, weight and quality, any scanner would do. But businesses need to process paper of all shapes, sizes and conditions - basically anything that flows through the office. And that calls for the superior flexibility of the FB Series. With rated landscape throughput speeds of 65 ppm for the 2000 S/D FB, these versatile scanners offer a compelling combination of features. The focus of the FB Series is on ergonomics. Documents are autofed and received from the front of the scanner, for fatigue-free operation. Plus, each scanner is also equipped with an ADF for batch feeding documents, so that long jobs seem shorter and easier... and productivity goes up. It's easy to see the advantages of the FB Series. With optical resolution of 400 dpi and interpolated resolution up to 800 dpi on the 2000 S/D FB, pictures come out crisp and clear. You can access image enhancement features such as adjustable scanning in increments up to 256 gray tones, scanning in both bitonal and grayscale in one pass, adjustable contrast settings and binary filters that eliminate "noise" particles from the document. The optional Image Processing Unit improves image quality even more with time-saving automatic photo/letter discrimination and dynamic thresholding. The models in the FB Series integrate easily into any imaging system, thanks to compatibility with most popular interface boards and application software support. A SCSI interface comes standard with each unit. The 2000 S/D FB is the first A3 scanner to meet stringent specifications of the EPA's Energy Star Program and Low Noise Rating. Other user-conscious features include an Endorser function enabling printing of up to 19 characters for easy retrieval of mission-critical images. Whether for the office of today... or the business of tomorrow... Bell & Howell delivers the kind of flexible value-added solutions that dramatically improve your productivity.
