Kodak scanner questions, answered

Which Kodak Alaris scanner is best for a small office?

For one person or a small desk, the KODAK E1030 (30 pages a minute, recommended up to 4,000 pages a day) is the entry choice, with an 80-sheet feeder at 3.3 kg. For a small team that shares a scanner over the network, the KODAK N2040 (up to 6,000 pages a day) and N2050 (up to 8,000) add a 100-sheet feeder and gigabit Ethernet, and the KODAK S2060w (up to 9,000) and S2080w (up to 12,000) add Wi-Fi. If you scan more than that, the KODAK S3060 is the next step up, at up to 25,000 pages a day. Answer five questions in the scanner finder to see which one fits your office.

Which Kodak scanner is best for high-volume scanning?

The KODAK i5850 and S5210 are the fastest in this range at 210 pages a minute with a 750-sheet feeder, and Kodak lists their recommended daily volume as unlimited. The i5650 and S5180 run at 180 pages a minute, and the i5250 and S5160 at 150 and 160. For 110,000 to 150,000 pages a day in a smaller machine, the KODAK i4000 series scans 130 to 160 pages a minute with a 500-sheet feeder, and the S3140 Max scans 140 pages a minute with a 500-sheet feeder. The scanner finder shortlists models from your daily volume and paper.

Which Kodak scanner has a built-in flatbed?

Three models have an integrated A4 flatbed: the KODAK S2085f (85 pages a minute, 300-sheet feeder), S3060f (60 pages a minute) and S3100f (100 pages a minute). Other models can add Kodak's optional flatbed accessory. It is A4/Legal size for the E and N series, A4/Legal or A3 for the S2 series, A3 size for the S3 and S5 series, and Legal or A3 for the Scan Station 730EX Plus. Kodak's brochures for the i4000 and i5000 series do not list a flatbed.

How many pages a day can a Kodak scanner handle?

Kodak publishes a recommended daily volume for each model. The E1030 is 4,000 pages, the N2040 is 6,000 and the N2050 is 8,000. The S2050 is 6,000, the S2060w is 9,000, the S2070 is 10,000, the S2080w is 12,000 and the S2085f is 20,000. The Scan Station 730EX Plus is 6,000. The S3060 and S3060f are 25,000, the S3100 and S3100f are 45,000, the S3120 Max is 100,000 and the S3140 Max is 120,000. The i4250 is 110,000, the i4650 is 130,000 and the i4850 is 150,000. The S5160, S5180, S5210, i5250, i5650 and i5850 are listed as unlimited. Treat these figures as a guide and leave headroom for growth. The scanner finder uses your daily volume to shortlist models.

Can Kodak scanners scan long documents?

Yes. The E series takes pages up to 3 m (118 in) long, the N series up to 3.048 m (120 in) and the S2 series up to 3 m (118 in), apart from the S2085f at 4.06 m (160 in). The S3 series takes pages up to 4.06 m (160 in) and the S5 series up to 4.6 m (180 in). Kodak's website lists up to 9.1 m (360 in) for the i4000 series, 4.6 m for the i5000 series and 0.86 m (34 in) for the Scan Station 730EX Plus. Kodak also lists a continuous mode for documents of unlimited length on the S2085f, S3 and S5 series.

What is the widest page a Kodak scanner can take?

The E, N and S2 series take pages up to 216 mm (8.5 in) wide, and so does the Scan Station 730EX Plus. The S3, S5, i4000 and i5000 series take pages up to 305 mm (12 in) wide. The Scan Station, i4000 and i5000 sizes are from Kodak's website. For drawings, plans and maps that are wider, we supply large-format scanners from Contex and Colortrac. Try the large-format scanner finder.

Can Kodak scanners handle thick paper and cards?

The E, N, S2 and S3 series list paper up to 433 g/m² (160 lb), and the S5 series lists 45 to 200 g/m² (110 lb). The E1030, S2050, S2060w, S2070 and S2080w list hard cards up to 1.25 mm thick, and the N2040 and N2050 up to 1.2 mm. The i4000 series is listed for ID cards and embossed hard cards. The S3 and S5 series offer a straight-through paper path for thick documents.

Do Kodak scanners detect double-fed pages?

Yes. Every model in this range lists multifeed detection (ultrasonic on the N and S series), which stops the scanner when two or more pages feed together.

How do Kodak scanners connect to a computer or network?

The N, S3 and S5 series connect by gigabit Ethernet and by USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), as does the S2085f. The S2060w and S2080w connect by USB 3.2 Gen 1, 10/100 Ethernet or Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n). The E1030, S2050 and S2070 connect by USB 3.2 Gen 1 only, the i4000 series by USB 3.0 and the i5000 series by USB 2.0 (USB 3.0 compatible). The Scan Station 730EX Plus connects by gigabit Ethernet and needs no host PC. Kodak does not list Ethernet for the E1030, S2050, S2070, i4000 or i5000 models.

Which Kodak scanner works without a PC?

The KODAK Scan Station 730EX Plus. It has a touchscreen and gigabit Ethernet, and Kodak lists it as needing no host PC, so people scan from the scanner itself to destinations you set up. It scans up to 70 pages a minute from a 75-sheet feeder and is recommended for up to 6,000 pages a day.

How do the i4000, i5000 and S5000 series differ?

All three are production scanners. The i4000 series (i4250, i4650, i4850) scans 130 to 160 pages a minute from a 500-sheet feeder, with a recommended daily volume of 110,000 to 150,000 pages. The i5000 series (i5250, i5650, i5850) and the S5000 series (S5160, S5180, S5210) hold 750 sheets, run at 150 to 210 pages a minute and list an unlimited daily volume. The i5850 stands on its own floor frame, and the S5000 series has a 7.5 in touchscreen. Tell us your volumes and we will recommend one.
