OVERVIEW

Progress in information network technology has made it easy to use various kinds of image contents via networks and on PCs (personal computers). In this information environment, the stand-type image scanner ?Blinkscan,? is a useful tool because it can convert various objects such as business documents and color copies into electronic data by using non-contact reading. Moreover, it can scan an A4 color page in only about 3 seconds, and capture image data at high resolution, best for optical character readers (OCRs). In Japan, this scanner is mainly used in banking for so-called image workflow systems. However, it is suitable for a wide range of business applications such as web contents production or printing and publishing, where work must be finished within a short period of time, and for presentations as a document camera together with a PC and a projector.
