Get down to business with the Kodak Digital Science Document Scanner 5500. It provides versatile batch scanning to support mid-volume or decentralized imaging applications ranging from 3,000 to 12,000 pages per day. The Document Scanner 5500 features on-board Adaptive Threshold Processing (ATP) to save time and enhance image quality. A robust paper transport, advanced document feeder, and fast throughput rate provide productive, reliable simplex or duplex scanning-all in a convenient, desktop-sized package.

A proven foundation you can depend on.

The Document Scanner 5500 leverages its design strength from Kodak Imagelink(?) Scanners, the industry leaders among high-volume production scanners. Its enhanced transport handles an unsurpassed range of document sizes, thicknesses, and surface quality to minimize stoppages and the need for exception scanning. An advanced document feeder accepts mixed-size documents in stacks up to 1.5" (or approximately 200 pages), further reducing operator time and labor costs.

Scanning productivity at the press of a button.

The Document Scanner 5500 scans up to 80 pages per minute (A4 letter-size, landscape mode; 60 ppm portrait); equivalent to 160 images per minute in duplex mode. Simple controls, preprogrammed function keys, and available accessories help operators become efficient with little training. In a single pass, the Document Scanner 5500 will scan the fronts and backs of documents, and read bar codes and patches to reduce manual data entry, while printing information such as time/date or sequence number. And your scanning reliability will be backed by a responsive, global network of certified Kodak Field Engineers.

Put a mid-volume workhorse to work in your operations with the Kodak Digital Science Document Scanner 5500.

Improve quality and throughput-automatically.

The on-board dynamic thresholding capabilities of the Document Scanner 5500 mean there's no need for an expensive accessory board. ATP provides uniform image quality from batches of intermixed documents. This eliminates the need to presort documents by background color, print density, or quality. In many cases, compression is also improved, resulting in smaller file sizes. Rescans are minimized and more work gets done faster.
