Colortrac Offers SmartLF Scanner with Certified ISIS Driver
 CAMBRIDGE, UK,
Nov 23, 2009 - Colortrac is a leading innovator in large format scanners and
scanning solutions software since 1989. Its SmartLF Ci 40e (enhanced color)
technical document scanner, recently awarded a BERTL 4 ½-Star "Outstanding"
rating, is now available with a certified ISIS (Image and Scanner Interface
Specification) driver.
Created by Pixel Translations (now EMC Corporation) in 1990, ISIS is a
software standard for the acquisition, viewing, format conversion, printing
and storage of documents in order to ensure consistent and reliable
communication between hardware and software. ISIS is the basis for a public
domain standard, ANSI/AIIM MS61-1996 Application Programming Interface (API)
for scanners in document imaging systems, issued also as ISO 14984.
Over 300, high speed small format document scanners are available with this
industry standard, enterprise-level interface which ensures that scanned
information is quickly and reliably integrated into EDM (electronic document
management) and EDC (electronic document capture) applications for digital
distribution, processing and storage.
Colortrac has pioneered the use of ISIS for its large format scanners
since 2003, when the Colortrac 3680e scanner ISIS driver was developed. Over
the years Colortrac has supplied many customers with its wide format
scanners and ISIS drivers. Users find the familiar ISIS scanning interface
and workflow reduces staff training costs, and they can be confident that a
certified and tested connection, allows easy expansion of their EDM system
to manage scanned wide format documents such as technical drawings and maps.
Colortrac Sales and Marketing Director, Peter de Winter-Brown says,
"Recent sales successes and economic conditions have re-focused our
marketing efforts in the EDM / EDC market and a key element of our strategy
is to strengthen our product offering to these important prospective
customers. The SmartLF Ci 40 large format scanner range is ideally suited to
EDC / EDM applications with its high speed, color capability and small
footprint."

ISIS provides benefits to both hardware and software engineers, as well
as end-users. Once hardware drivers are written, they are tested for
compliance with the ISIS standard by the EMC Corporation. Only after passing
stringent tests is ISIS certification issued and the drivers listed on
EMC Corporation's
website. This demanding process results in ISIS certified solutions that
offer reliable interoperability between scanner hardware and document
management software. A consistent user interface across third party programs
and robust, reliable performance are the chief benefits of the ISIS
standard. Colortrac developed its unique wide format ISIS driver in order to
give EDM users with small format scanners a quick, easy and cost-effective
route up to large format document capture. EDM professionals wanting to scan
large format documents simply need to acquire a SmartLF scanner with its
ISIS driver, then continue to use the EDM software they already own and
their existing know how to capture large format documents. SmartLF large
format scanners now join over 300 hardware devices which share support for
the ISIS standard compatible with over 200 software solutions. Among the
benefits of the SmartLF wide format ISIS driver are the following:
ISIS certification guarantees product quality, reliability and
interoperability ISIS-compliant scanning applications have a largely common
user interface. The familiar ISIS interface minimizes re-training at
existing ISIS user sites Works with all major ISIS compatible software
applications SmartLF ISIS drivers are unique in the large format scanner
market High quality scans from SmartLF supported large format scanners Scan
in large format color, grayscale and monochrome (black and white)
Information-intensive systems run faster using ISIS than any other interface
Declan Tyler, Colortrac Product & Application Specialist, said "If you
are using ISIS-compliant software, like Kofax Ascent Capture or Captiva
QuickScan PRO, etc, then you already know how to capture large format
documents with a Colortrac SmartLF scanner." "As the first and only large
format scanners with ISIS support, our SmartLF range brings large format
benefits to EDM processes. Our certified ISIS driver's familiar interface
will accelerate the transition from small format to large format document
capture. Colortrac ISIS lets users take full advantage of the built-in power
and precision of SmartLF scanners to quickly and easily scan and save large
format documents, technical drawings and maps in color, grayscale or
monochrome within their preferred EDM software. There's no need to buy or
learn new software and new ways of doing things. The familiar ISIS interface
lets users start scanning large format documents and forms straight away.
ISIS makes large format integration with your EDM system seamless - and the
entire scan and save process quick and easy."
