The KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Intelligent Microimage Scanner's compact film drive and supporting software enable automatic image-mark searches using a standard PC workstation. The subsystem digitizes the film image and displays it on the PC monitor where the user can read it and file, fax, or print it with just a few mouse clicks. It's an ideal, versatile retrieval solution, whether you want to upgrade an analog reader-printer or add film imaging to your digital information system.

Innovations that improve your workflow
The new design of the Intelligent Microimage Scanner delivers speed and excellent image quality in a small footprint, and allows users to work more productively. The improved film transport is fast, accurate, and accepts all major film cartridges. Once the selected film is scanned, the transport can advance to the next image or perform a refile in the background, minimizing the waste of operator time. Meanwhile, the operator can be performing all retrieval, annotation, and routing procedures with a single easy to use integrated interface.

Uncompromising imaging performance that won't stand still
You'll see more detail and clarity that result in improved legibility, especially with printed backgrounds on checks. That's because the high-density CCD of the Intelligent Microimage Scanner captures more information from the film, making it available as gray-scale images. You can also elect to work with bi-tonal images. Because images are processed in software on the PC, enhancements and new features will be simple to implement as they are developed. You can continually upgrade image processing speed by moving to a more powerful PC as processor speeds rise and prices fall. Plus, the Intelligent Microimage Scanner is Year 2000-ready.
