DOCUPEN SCANNER

The DocuPen is an excellent portable scanner for scanning newspapers, magazines, books, notes, photos, receipts, contracts, court documents, sketches, maps, reference materials, etc. Some flatbed scanners are light enough to carry around, but even the smallest are larger than a notebook PC. Planon's DocuPen RC800 is a portable pen scanner that's easier to take on the road. It weighs under 60g and is as long as a sheet of A4 paper is wide. It can hold over 100 pages of scanned text.

Planon has introduced the DocuPen RC800 color handheld scanner which is the latest technology breakthrough from their R&D efforts. The DocuPen RC800 achieves full color 24 bit scanning in a remarkably compact and lightweight form that gives great convenience. Planon Systems Solutions, Inc. DocPen series has unusual mobility and flexibility and can be used in the mobile office. The RC800 is capable of storing 100's of pages into memory and it takes just seconds to scan a page. Choose the mode you want to scan: black and white, standard color or high 24-bit color and the resolution from 100 to 400 dpi. Now you can scan your letters, color documents, pictures and bring them into Paperport software (included with the Docupen). The DocuPen is different from other pen sized scanners in that it scans a FULL PAGE width and therefore scans the entire page including text and graphics in as little as 4 seconds. Other handheld and pen scanners only scan single lines of text or records handwriting and some scanners need to be attached to your computer whereas the Docupen overcomes these limitations. The need for convenient out-of-office scanning is enormous but has not been satisfied because the products to date did not fulfill that need adequately.

The DocuPen R700 and RC800 includes PaperPort from Nuance, which provides the capability to find, organize, and share digital documents. PaperPort also offers seamless integration with Microsoft Word, Outlook, Notepad, Wordpad and a variety of graphics programs. With automatic OCR (Optical Character Recognition) capability, the software will convert scanned documents into editable text.
