Panasonic's KV-S1046C Workgroup Scanner Undergoes Rigorous Testing and Receives "Highly Recommended" Rating and Certificate of Reliability

SECAUCUS, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Panasonic, a provider of a broad range of integrated business technology solutions, announced today that its KV-S1046C document scanner received the coveted "highly recommended" rating, along with a certificate of reliability, following rigorous testing by Buyers Lab LLC (BLI), a leading authority and provider of critical intelligence on the imaging industry. A team of highly-experienced technicians evaluated the KV-S1046C on a variety of features including reliability, optical character recognition, ease of use, productivity and efficiency, as well as value and connectivity concerns, such as administrative utilities and drivers.


Over a two-week testing period, BLI determined that the KV-S1046C scanner has several differentiating strengths including:

-- High reliability

-- Faster than average scan speeds at 200 dpi

-- Higher than average OCR accuracy for all documents tested

-- Larger than average ADF capacity

-- Scans long documents up to 100-inches, which is ideal for healthcare facilities

-- No slowdown when duplex scanning

-- Up to 50 scan profiles provide users with flexibility

-- Easy to install and simple user maintenance procedures

-- Bundled three-year limited warranty

-- Eighteen control sheets help automate batch scanning, changing settings via bar code recognition

-- Optional flatbed

-- Optional Kofax VRS Elite bundle

According to BLI, a device with a "Highly Recommended" rating displays outstanding overall performance during testing. The KV-S1046C proved to be a highly reliable product when subjected to Buyers Lab's 10,000-sheet durability test.

"The Panasonic KV-S1046C proved to be a strong overall competitor against similarly equipped A4 scanners in this speed range," stated the Comprehensive BLI Laboratory Evaluation released in September 2012. "Based on its very good overall performance, BLI highly recommends the KV-S1046C for workgroups and departments looking for a fast and robust digital capture system at a reasonable price."
