Maximum Flexibility.
If all documents were standard size, weight and quality, any scanner would do. But businesses need to process paper that comes in al shapes, sizes and conditions -- basically anything that flows through the office. And that calls for the superior flexibility of the FB Series.  At rated speeds of 46 ppm for the 1000 FB and 64 ppm for the 1500 FB, these high duty cycle scanners offer a compelling combination of features, all backed by Bell & Howell's extensive network of respected and responsive service technicians.

The robust, built-in Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) handles documents from check size to 11" x 17", from thick to thin, mint condition to crumpled. And for bound or fragile documents that can't go through the feeder, the flatbed can handle them all.

Well-Planned Efficiency.
With the FB Series, the focus is on ergonomics. Documents are fed and received from the front of the scanner, reducing operator fatigue. Plus, the ADF handles up to 100 sheets at a time. As a result, long jobs seem shorter and easier, so productivity goes up.

The Picture Tells the Story.
It's easy to see the advantages of the FB Series. With optical resolution ranging from 200 to 400 dpi and up to 256 shades of gray, photos come out sharp and clear. The optional Image Processing Unit improves image quality even more by automatically adjusting contrast, smoothing characters and eliminating background noise.

Easy Integration.
Both models in the FB Series are easily integrated into any imaging system, thanks to compatibility with most popular interface boards. It comes standard with SCSI interface, or there's video option that makes connecting to many imaging applications simple. There's even an easy-access expansion slot for future upgrades.
