Böwe Bell + Howell Scanners is always adding value to its full line of document scanners. In fact, it’s the only company with the singular mission of making the most dependable, easy-to-use and cost-effective scanners around. No matter what business you’re in, if you need to convert documents into high-quality digital images quickly and simply, Böwe Bell + Howell Scanners has a high-end, midrange or entry-level scanner to meet your real-world needs.

 

Some of Böwe Bell + Howell's cutting edge technologies include:

 

Hardware-Based Virtual ReScan (VRS) – Hardware-based VRS technology offers users the most widely accepted, state-of-the-art image enhancement tools available in the industry.  With hardware-based VRS, you get all the image and productivity enhancement features of Kofax Virtual ReScan without the throughput bottlenecks found with scanners that only use Software VRS. VRS is standard on the Sidekick, and all Copiscan Spectrum models (8080S-B, 8080D-B, 8100D-B, 8125D-B, 8080S-C, 8080D-C, 8100D-C, and 8125D-C).

 

 

Böwe Bell + Howell's new Auto Color Detect (ACD) feature does exactly as its name suggests―it correctly identifies color documents from bitonal documents automatically—without slowing down or stopping, while scanning is in process. Even if you only wish to scan a small number of your documents in color, the advantages ACD affords via uninterrupted performance are unmistakable, such as increased document capture productivity and lower storage requirements. This feature is available on all 8000 Color Spectrum Series models (8080S-C, 8080D-C, 8100D-C, and 8125D-C).

Bell + Howell Truper

Low Volume Production Scanner

 

Truper offers one of the highest speeds and duty cycles in its class.  As a rotary scanner with a flatbed for exceptional documents, Truper's unique combination of image quality, duty cycle and speed make it an attractive option for service bureau overflow, busy office environments and businesses with exception document scanning needs.

 

As the only scanner to come bundled with VRS 4.0 Plus, Truper utilizes the bet of breed technology to deliver industry leading value.  With features ranging from user replaceable rollers to Auto Color Detect, Truper increases scanning productivity and reduces the total cost of scanning. 

 

Virutal Rescan 4.0 Plus

 

Truper provides both high quality image enhancement and increased productivity through VRS 4.0 Plus.  Truper is the only scanner on the market that bundles VRS 4.0 Plus as a standard scanner feature.  In addition to improved image enhancement, VRS 4.0 Plus offers additional features that improve scanning efficiency.  These features dramatically reduce document preparation and ongoing file storage requirements.

 

VRS 4.0 Plus Features:

• Auto Orientation - Documents can be scanned in any orientation, reducing preparation requirements.  The Auto-Orientation feature electronically rotates the image so that it can be read right side up by the scanner operator.

• Auto Color Detect - Scanning color for color, bitonal for black and white.  With Auto Color Detect, Truper eliminates the pre-sorting of batched documents and the inserting of patch codes and separator sheets previously needed to capture color content.

• Blank Page Deletion - Eliminates blank pages when scanned in duplex.  This feature reduces files size and storage requirements by detecting and deleting blank pages within a scanned image.  In addition, it also reduces document preparation, as you can put both simplex and duplex documents in the same batch.

Bell + Howell Spectrum 8000 Series

Production-Level Scanners

 

The new features on Böwe Bell + Howell’s 8000 Spectrum series make production scanning a cost-effective option, even for scanning in color.

Here’s how: with Spectrum’s superior paper handling and image enhance-

ment with Virtual ReScan™ (VRS) from Kofax, documents can now be scanned the way they come to you—mixed together in every shape, size and paper type. And now with Auto Color Detect, color documents scan in color, bitonal in bitonal, all simultaneously on one system. If you scan in color today, this can reduce the time needed for scanning by up to 60% over other methods. Even file sizes for your largest color images, those with color backgrounds, can be reduced by up to 40% with the Color Background Saturation and Dropout feature. Imagine scanning in color when you want it, bitonal when you don’t, all at maximum speed, minimal cost, and the quality to handle between 6,000 and 60,000 documents per day. Now you can.

 

All Spectrum models handle up to 500 sheets of paper at a time, from 2.60" x 2.60" (66 mm x 66 mm) up to 11.70" x 40" (297 mm x 1016 mm), with optical resolution ranging from 100 to 400 dpi (dots per inch).

Bell + Howell Spectrum XF

High-Volume Production-Level Scanner

 

With scanning speeds up to 140 pages per minute, Bell + Howell's new best-of-breed SharpShooter TriLinear CCD Camera, and Onboard Virtual Rescan™ (VRS) technology, Spectrum XF offers the best combination of features you'll find in a high-volume production scanner.  Spectrum XF provides all of the "extra" benefits you want - extra throughput, extra efficiency, extra OCR, ICR, and Barcode recognition - without the extra cost.

 

Extra Advantages: Faster in every setting

 

Whatever your business or application, Spectrum XF will get you there...faster.  With Spectrum XF, you can now take advantage of speeds up to 140 ppm (pages per minute) How much faster is this over previous models?

 

For capture users:

• 13-30% faster in color at 200 dpi

• 10-17% faster in bitonal at 200 dpi

For forms processing users:

• 12-15% faster in bitonal at 300 dpi

By any measure and at any setting, Spectrum XF is up to 20% faster than other scanners in its class.

 

Sharp Shooter CCD Camera Technology

 

Spectrum XF proves that going faster doesn't mean you have to sacrifice image quality.  The state-of-the-art TriLinear camera design - with one line per red, green, and blue - ensures images at a finer level of detail in bitonal and grayscale and in more vivid color.

 

Unmatched power and speed:

• 600 dpi optical capture

• 7,500 pixel capture per line

• 22,500 total pixel capture

• 40 megapixel-per-second throughput

Better image quality also means higher accuracy for OCR, ICR, and barcode recognition, a terrific advancement for forms processing applications.

 

Onboard Virtual ReScan: Maximize Efficiency without the Trade-Offs:

 

"Onboard VRS" (as opposed to software VRS) is the best way to take full advantage of the image enhancement and interactive problem resolution functionality that VRS has to offer without sacrificing scanning speed.  Spectrum XF features onboard VRS, which means that each model has a VRS board built in.  It's like having a PC inside your scanner, helping to drive performance and processing time with optimal speed and efficiency.
