The KODAK Scan Station 100 is an office walkup network scanner that quickly and easily turns paper documents into digital files with the touch of a button for simultaneous sharing via email, storing on the network, routing to networked printers and copiers, and saving on portable USB drives—all without using a computer.  It connects to existing network infrastructure and features intuitive and interactive operations, including image preview of scanned images prior to sharing, from a full-color, easy-to-use, touch screen. The Scan Station 100 was recognized for its innovation with the “Best of   Show” award from a field of more than 200 products at FOSE, the premier government technology tradeshow in March of 2006 in Washington, D.C.

With DocuWare’s certification, the Scan Station 100 easily integrates into a DOCUWARE Software installation where it can provide fully searchable PDFs for filing in DOCUWARE Software. 

DOCUWARE software provides the ability to manage documents, regardless of format or source, in one central document pool; one search will result in all the records needed for any business transaction—delivered on your desktop, instantaneously.  Digital files are accessible worldwide with secure authorized access.

“As more and more customers employ DOCUWARE solutions, having applications that are quickly connectable and functional within existing systems increases flexibility in choosing the best solution for their needs,” said Roger Markham, Product Marketing Manager for Distributed Capture Products, US&C, Document Imaging, Graphic Communications Group, Eastman Kodak Company.  "DocuWare has enlarged the circle of choice that is available to customers by certifying the compatibility for the KODAK Scan Station 100 with its Version 5 software.”
