KODAK Scan Station 500 Earns High Achievements for Advancing Networked Scanning in Business, Government and Healthcare

Rochester, NY.- The KODAK Scan Station 500 ranks as one of the most innovative business products in 2009. Buyers Laboratory, Inc. (BLI), an independent test center, awarded the Scan Station 500 with its Spring 2009 “Pick” for “Outstanding Network Scanner.” BLI cites the scanner for a “superb overall feature set” offered with “competitive pricing.” These combined capabilities help organizations more efficiently and affordably capture and share critical information from their paper-based documents.

The highly rated peripheral also contends for ‘Best New Product or Service of the Year’ in the American Business AwardsSM (ABA), part of the annual Stevie™ Awards Program. This marks Kodak’s third consecutive year as a finalist in the Stevie Award’s ABA program. Winners of the 2009 ABA program will be announced on June 22 in New York.

Introduced in early 2009, the KODAK Scan Station 500 provides users with advanced document capture performance, easy-to-use functionality and reliable task management. One-touch capabilities allow the scanner to quickly send and distribute scanned documents. Available locations include FTP sites, network drives, shared printers, email addresses, fax recipients or portable USB drives. The Scan Station 500 also offers Kodak’s exclusive Voice Attachment feature, allowing voice recordings to accompany digital files.

“The productivity benefits of networked scanning provide virtually any organization with an immediate return on investment,” said Roger Markham, Product and Channel Marketing Manager, Document Imaging, Business Solutions and Services, Eastman Kodak Company. “Our team of solution providers and resellers continue using the Scan Station 500 to develop easy-to-use, easy-to-implement document solutions for healthcare, government and insurance.”

The Scan Station 500 continues the success of Kodak’s first networked scanner, the KODAK Scan Station 100. In 2007, Kodak earned a Stevie Award for ‘Best New Product or Service’ and BLI’s ‘Pick’ for ‘Outstanding Network Sheet-fed Workgroup Scanner’ in 2007 for its first networked scanner, the KODAK Scan Station 100.
