Fast SmartTouch scanning
The ScanMate i920 provides fast scanning, ease of use, and outstanding connectability. The scanning process is simplified through Kodak’s unique SmartTouch feature: a scan-job can be selected by the scanner display and the GO-Button, or via the desktop.

For daily correspondence, business cards, receipts or colour brochures, the i920 scans documents at speeds of up to 20 DIN-A4 pages per minute in simplex or up to 40 images per minute in double sided mode, with a recommend daily volume of 500 pages per day. 

With a very small footprint of 288 mm wide and 107 mm deep – that’s about half the size of an A4 page - the ScanMate i920 fits comfortably on any desktop, and provides users with an outstanding imaging solution for efficient day-to-day scanning whenever needed. To create a digital copy of a valuable paper document is as simple as pressing a button.

Fit for your documents
ScanMate i920 includes a 20-sheet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) for consecutive batch scanning, and supports feeding for business cards, hard cards, DIN-A4 and even long-length documents. Document formats with different sizes such as travel expenses can be scanned in mixed document batches.

Hauke Fast, EAMER Product Marketing Manager Document Imaging, Kodak’s Business Solutions and Services Group, comments, “Kodak’s new ScanMate i920 Personal Scanner combines a stylish design with a functional device – easy to use and combined with a worry-free 3 year Advance Unit Replacement Warranty (AUR).”
