Panasonic S1046C Business Document Scanner

High- Speed Full-Colour Scanning

Excellent performance keeps office productivity high.

This scanner can quickly convert a large number of documents into electronic data, so it provides smooth usage even in offices with many users. Scanning documents into data makes it possible to consolidate information, which improves work efficiency. And it lowers the cost of handling documents and reduces the space needed to store them.

Duplex Scanning

Prevents pages from being missed when scanning

Double-sided scanning of documents from business-card size all the way to A4 can be done with a single scan. Plus, double-sided scanning is done at the same speed as single-sided scanning. This eliminates the need to repeatedly turn the document over to the front and back to rescan, and prevents pages from being missed when scanning.

Double-Feed Prevention Roller System

Prevents scanning mis-feeds

The active double-feed prevention roller reverses rotation the instant that the leading document leaves the paper feed section to prevent the double-feeding documents that are stuck together.

Compound Paper Scanning

Compound paper such as carbonless copy paper can be fed

A double-feed prevention roller release mechanism is provided. By lifting the manual feed selector, compound paper such as carbonless copy paper can also be fed. *

• When the double-feed prevention roller is released by the Manual Feed Selector, the double-feed detection function must be cancelled by a software setting. When scanning a document manually, feed the document one set at a time.

Ultrasonic Double-Feed Detection

Prevent scanning errors

In addition to its double-feed prevention roller, the double-feed prevention system is enhanced by an ultrasonic sensor that detects the double feeding of originals during scanning. This innovative design prevents double feeding, and has been proven effective even when the documents being scanned contain a mix of paper of different weights or thickness. Thanks to double-feed prevention, optimum reliability is assured even when scanning high volumes of documents.

Double-Feed Skip Function

Cancels double-feed errors to simply rescanning

When scanning stops due to documents that include things like envelopes or that have sticky notes attached, simply press the Skip key to cancel the error and resume scanning.

Dog-Ear Detection

Detects and prevents missing images

When a scanned image due to an inadvertently folded corner (dog-ear) or a document that is extremely skewed, the Dog-Ear Detection function automatically and temporarily stops the scanning. The user can then decide to rescan, or to continue scanning as is.

Document Output Control

Prevents the output order from changing

The output speed is automatically lowered for documents that are 148 mm (5.82 inches) or shorter, and the exit guides keep the document from slipping. This stops longer documents from sliding under shorter ones to prevent the output order from changing.

Thin Paper Scanning

No more worries about scanning thin paper

Now you can continuously scan documents that are as thin as 0.04mm. That makes it easy to scan thin forms or vouchers. And it increases the number of situations where you can use scanning - without worrying about thin paper.

Embossed Card Scanning

Enables smooth embossed card scanning

This model can scan up to three embossed cards, such as driver's licenses, consecutively.

Mixed Paper and Hard Card Batch Scanning

Enables hard card scanning with paper documents in a single batch

This scanner was designed to be able to combine paper documents along with a hard ID, such as a driver's license, in a single batch by using the mixed card batch guide.

Long Paper Mode

Even documents of unusually long sizes can be scanned

The highly reliable paper feed system lets you scan documents up to 2540mm (100 inches) in length. This is ideal for scanning electrocardiograms (EKG) or other special documents. This single scanner handles a wide variety of applications.

Automatic Image Orientation

No more worries about the document's direction

Even when documents are set in different directions, this function detects the direction of the scanned text in documents and automatically rotates it into the correct direction. * This boosts work efficiency by eliminating the need to change the direction of each page in advance when scanning large quantities of documents with various sizes and directions.

• The orientation of documents with many characters using text decorations may not be correct

Advance Image Processing

Makes complicated settings automatically to improve scanning quality

The Automatic Brightness Adjustment function automatically adjust the brightness and contrast of scanned images, even on documents with varying paper colour and text hues, to produce scanned images with suitable brightness.

The Automatic Image Emphasis function emphasizes the edges of characters and lines to sharpen them and softens the appearance of other parts of the image. Noise (black spots) is also reduced.

2-Page Seperation

Easily get the data you need from each page

This function automatically divides the single image into two single sheets*. Dividing scanned documents saves time and trouble because it makes complex editing operations unnecessary.

• Divided lengthwise or crosswise. The length of the scanned document is divided in half. The division is not based on the content of the document.

Power Saving

Reduces power consumption

• LED Lighting - The scanning section uses LEDs for its light source to lower power consumption while scanning
• Sleep mode - Power consumption is suppressed to 1 watt maximum during sleep mode to save energy while the scanner is not being used
• Power Auto Off function - The power automatically turns off at a preset time to cut down on wasted electricity *. * Approximately 0.3W of electricity is consumed when the power is off

Easy Maintenance

Reduces maintenance costs and downtime

The clamshell design allows full, easy access to the entire paper path, so you can clear paper jams or clean the unit without calling a service center. The rollers last a long time and are easy to replace when worn, also improving the unit's cost-effectiveness.

Auto Erasure Security

A high degree of security

Scanned data is automatically erased from the scanner memory as soon as scanning is completed. This basically eliminates the danger of information leaks, and ensures the user of safe, secure scanning.

Space-Saving Installation

The scanner can be installed just about anywhere

Its small footprint allows it to conveniently fit into small spaces, such as reception counters or desk sides. For example, placing it at the reception area of a bank or hospital allows customer or patient ID cards and other documents to be quickly scanned. This enables real-time information sharing to help provide fast, accurate service.
