| Generally we say that a production imaging application requires capture capabilities in excess of 6,000 pages per 8 hour shift per day. It is at that point that the requirements for hardware and software performance starts to become mission critical. Production document imaging applications, require equipment in place that is specifically designed for that purpose. Think about it this way, if the documents are not captured, the business process dependant on them is stopped. If the business process is stopped, people can't do their jobs, and the company can not conduct the business related to that process.
Tempting as it might be to go cheaper, or to investigate multiple alternatives (we'll get three, so if one breaks...), there really is only one kind of document scanner that is up to the task, and the Panasonic KV-S3105C is a brand new member of this class. As such, it aims to have capabilities, and design features that make it a "best of breed" participant in this category of document scanners. From the information we have it certainly seems like Panasonic built the machine for that purpose. We spent an afternoon putting the KVS3105C through various paces, reviewing vendor claims and working through our own test criteria to "see for ourselves".
From the rubber used in making the rollers, to the unlimited duty cycle, to world class digital image processing capabilities with seemingly infinite programability features to a case you couldn't crack with a bazooka, the Panasonic KV-S3105C is one heck of a workhorse document scanner.
