The new KV-S7075C ($8,995 list) is an upgrade to the KV-S7065C. It is faster, scanning at 75ppm in simplex and at 150ipm in duplex. The speeds are the same in black-and-white and color. Landscape speeds are 95ppm and 190ipm. In addition to the document feeder, this model has a flatbed platen. Panasonic asserts that it is the fastest flatbed in the industry.
One interesting new feature relating to the flatbed is what Panasonic calls “Multi-Crop”. This feature allows you to place several small documents on the platen (ID cards, receipts, business cards), scan them, crop them, and save each individual item as a separate file in one pass. This model also can scan a bound document, such as a book or magazine, on the platen, and produce two separate output files, a feature Panasonic calls “2-page Separation”. Additionally, Panasonic has introduced the Auto Image Orientation feature which automatically rotates so that the image is in the portrait direction. These are very nice productivity enhancements.
The scanner has a 200-sheet document feeder. This feeder has ultrasonic double-feed detection and is 11″ x 17″.
The KV-S7075C has USB connectivity. A prescan imprinter is optional.
This scanner handles up to ledger-size pages, and can also handle long documents up to 100 inches in length. It can also scan long paper sizes. It scans at a native 600dpi, though for regular document scanning purposes you’ll want to scale that back to 200dpi. It supports multi-streaming (creating grayscale and color files from the same scan).
Like other Panasonic models, the KV-S7075C comes with built-in Panasonic image enhancement technology. Its features include dynamic thresholding, blank page removal, punch hole removal, and auto-cropping. It also features Panasonic’s multicolor dropout, where a whole range of colors can be set for dropping out of a scanned document, not just the usual red, green, and blue. It also features JPEG compression on the fly.
This machine has user-replaceable components, including both CIS target glass elements and the rollers. That’s a nice plus. The rated monthly duty cycle is 15,000 pages.
The KV-S7075C is a full-featured midrange document scanner with built-in image enhancement features and a versatile flatbed scanner – all this add up to an Editor’s Choice Award.
Sum-up: A strong basic platform with some cool new features.
