Panasonic’s KV-S1065C Scanner Undergoes Rigorous Testing by Leading Industry Authority (Buyers Laboratory LLC) To Earn Highest Rating Possible

SECAUCUS, N.J.--()--Panasonic, a provider of document imaging and scanner solutions, announced today that the KV-S1065C high-speed, document scanner received the coveted “highly recommended” rating, along with a “certificate of reliability,” following meticulous testing by the Buyers Lab LLC (BLI), the leading authority and provider of critical intelligence on the imaging industry. A team of highly-experienced technicians evaluated the KV-S1065C on a variety of features including, reliability, optical character recognition, ease of use, productivity and efficiency, as well as value and connectivity concerns, such as administrative utilities and drivers.

Over a two week testing period, BLI determined that the KV-S1065C scanner has several differentiating strengths including:

  • A higher than average OCR accuracy rate for most documents
  • Has virtually no slowdown when duplex scanning
  • Scans documents up to 100 inches (a valuable feature for healthcare facilities)
  • 18 control sheets to help automate batch scanning
  • Easier than average roller replacement procedures
  • Up to 50 scan-setting profiles that can be saved for frequently used operations
  • Ability to save color drop-out settings for frequently used operations
  • An optional 8.5” x 11.7” flatbed
  • Optional Kofax® VRS Elite software bundle
  • Excellent hardware reliability

According to BLI, a device with a “Highly Recommended” rating displays outstanding overall performance during testing. The KV-S1065C excelled on many levels and surpassed every scanner in its class on its accuracy rating.

“This unit has the highest accuracy rate of any scanner tested to date when scanning BLI’s Black test document at 200 and 300 dpi, and green test document at 200 dpi,” states the Comprehensive BLI Laboratory Evaluation Report released in March 2012. The report further states, “BLI highly recommends the Panasonic KV-S1065C for offices and dedicated scanning departments where quality outweighs quantity.”

“The current economic climate requires businesses across industries to convert physical documents into digital files easily and efficiently, while not sacrificing quality,” said Justin Tomasz Sadkowski, product marketing specialist, Small and Medium Business, Panasonic. “This recognition by BLI acknowledges Panasonic’s long history of providing innovative scanner solutions that meet the needs of today’s professionals.”
