Plustek Launches SmartOffice PL2546 Scanner

02.02.2009
Plustek has announced the launch and availability of its new scanner Plustek SmartOffice PL2546 in the Indian market. This versatile scanner is feature-rich and bundled with many utility software that help users scan, edit, store, manage and share documents with complete ease. It is primarily targeted at government offices, institutions, enterprises and distributed branch offices across industry verticals. Considering the high volumes of documents -- customary of many Indian offices, Plustek's SmartOffice Pl2546 aims at efficient document management for enhancing productivity.

One needs to keep record of all papers for reference in future. For example, telecom operators or banks need customers to submit various documents (photocopies of their photo identity cards, address proof such as electricity bills, phone bills etc.) to issue new connections or open a new account. All these documents need to be either stored physically or are scanned and stored in a central repository. Plustek SmartOffice PL2546 helps users scan documents and convert them into searchable PDF format before sending them to the repository.

Plustek PL2546 has an automatic document feeder (ADF) that takes 50 sheets at a time and has a heavy duty cycle of up to 1500 sheets per day. Its scanning speed is amazing as well for it can scan 25 pages per minute (or 46 images per minute) in colour, duplex mode (both sides of a page - front and back). This is highly convenient when compared to traditional scanners available in the market wherein the user has to scan every page individually and then compile all scan results into one document which in fact is a big drain on resources, energy and time.

According to Karen Ku, Vice President, Plustek Inc., "Businesses and individuals should be concentrating on their core activity than fight paper volumes. SmartOffice PL2546 is a smart product that will be highly accepted - especially in the service industry like hospitality, education, BFSI etc. Moreover, it is lightweight and has a small footprint which makes it ideal for offices already struggling for space."
