2019 Line of the Year Feature-Rich and Reliable Panasonic's lineup of scanners is best characterized by its exceptional mediahandling capabilities, simple and easy user experience, and robust software bundles. "Unlike with other OEMs, Panasonic's devices can capture documents of an unlimited length," said Joe Ellerman, Keypoint Intelligence's Director of U.S. Lab Operations. "The latest generation of Panasonic devices offered some of the most granular control over double-feed detection functionality that we've seen in the past. For example, scan operators can adjust the sensors sensitivity and program it to ignore double-feeds based on X/Y coordinates." In addition, the Panasonic scanners submitted to Buyers Lab for testing in the preceding 12 months proved to be incredibly reliable. "We ran 200,000 pages across five devices without a single jam, misfeed, or malfunction," Ellerman noted. "And we ran 1 million pages-yes, 1 million-through the KV-S8147 and saw only eight misfeeds, which is impressive by any measure." Notable Features and Functionalities include: • Dynamic image processing based on X/Y coordinates • Control sheets enable user change scan conditions in the middle of a job without any interruption • Auto ReScan enables users to select visually from one of nine versions of the image that best works for that user • The Auto Preview function enables users to scan and preview the first page of a job, so they can test those scan settings before executing the entire scan job • Incredibly granular multifeed detection settings can ignore double-feeds based on sensitivity or X/Y coordinates Panasonic's lineup is flush with workhorse models underwent extended reliability testing, running 1.4 million scans without a single misfeed to verify that the machines could meet the highest quality standards. Panasonic Software Paves the Way On the ease of use front, much of the credit goes to Panasonic's proprietary capture solutions, Image Capture Plus and Image Capture Plus Express. Users can create and save single-touch scanning profiles-complete with a ton of image processing and routing instructions-to streamline and standardize all their frequently recurring tasks. The scan settings can be saved to a button on the device's control panel, which means in many cases, ©2019 Keypoint Intelligence. Reproduced with permission.
