Features of DR-5060F

The DR-5060F scanner not only processes large volumes of documents at high speed, but also is provided with a function for backing-up data to microfilm. Here is a summary of the outstanding features of the DR-5060F.

High-speed scanning

Small documents such as business cards and check-size documents through to A3/(11 x 17 in.)-size documents can be scanned at high speed. The maximum scan speed is 50 sheets per minute (A4/(11.5 x 16.3 in.)-size portrait in simplex and duplex mode, 200 dpi resolution) when scanning an A4/(11.5 x 16.3 in.)-size document in the simplex mode.

Large-capacity, reliable paper feeding

• Up to 500 sheets of A4/(11.5 x 16.3 in.)-size documents (80 g/m2) (20 lb. bond) can be loaded at once.

• The size and thickness of documents need not be set in advance as they are automatically detected and adjusted. The scanner accurately handles documents of various sizes and thickness.

Easy operation

Operations such as brightness adjustment and start/stop of scanning can be performed from the operation panel on the main unit. This eliminates the need to operate the application each time that you load a document, for example, when you are scanning a large number of documents.

Skew detection

This function automatically detects if the document is fed in at an angle, and straightens skewed documents.

Highly durable

The unit features a service life of up to 6 million scans.

Backup to microfilm

Images are backed-up to microfilm at the same time when the document is scanned.

Operation modes to suit specific applications

In addition to the above Back-up mode, you can select two other modes according to your application: the Scanner Only mode in which this unit is used exclusively as a scanner, and the Filmer Only mode in which this unit is used as a rotary filmer.

(See p. 40 “About Operation Modes”)

Scan log

This function leaves information such as the scanning date and time in the computer as a “scan log” in the Backup mode.

Drop-out color

This function disables scanning of red color (that is, “drops out”) in the document.

Various options

The wide range of options includes the imprinter for printing characters on the document being scanned, bar code decoder for reading bar codes in documents, and the endorser for printing numbers and characters on the document after scanning.
