Kodak i2900 Document Scanner

The Kodak i2900 Document Scanner is a duplex document scanner designed for organizations that regularly process paper documents and need a combination of automatic document feeding and flatbed scanning. It scans at up to 60 pages per minute and 120 images per minute at 200 and 300 dpi, has a 250-sheet automatic document feeder, 600 dpi optical resolution, USB connectivity and an integrated A4 flatbed for documents that need to be scanned individually. Kodak Alaris specifies a recommended daily volume of up to 10,000 pages through the ADF, making the i2900 suitable for document-intensive scanning workflows.

Product Features

Up to 60 PPM Duplex Scanning

The Kodak i2900 scans at up to 60 pages per minute or 120 images per minute at 200 and 300 dpi. Because it supports duplex scanning, both sides of a two-sided document can be captured during the scanning process. Actual throughput can vary depending on the scanning application, computer, operating system and selected image-processing features.

250-Sheet Automatic Document Feeder

The scanner has a 250-sheet automatic document feeder for 80 g/m² paper. This allows users to load a substantial batch of documents for automatic processing rather than feeding individual pages manually.

Built-In A4 Flatbed Scanner

The i2900 includes a built-in A4-size flatbed scanner with a book-edge design. The flatbed provides an alternative scanning method for documents that are not suitable for the automatic feeder.

Kodak Alaris specifies a recommended daily volume of 100 pages for the built-in A4 flatbed, separate from the ADF’s recommended daily volume.

600 DPI Optical Resolution

The i2900 provides 600 dpi optical resolution, with selectable output resolutions from 100 through 1,200 dpi. This gives users flexibility when choosing the resolution required for different document-scanning workflows.

Dual CCD Scanning Technology

The scanner uses dual CCD scanning technology, with 48-bit colour capture, 24-bit colour output and 8-bit grayscale output.

Ultrasonic Multi-Feed Detection

The i2900 uses ultrasonic multi-feed detection to identify situations where multiple sheets may enter the feeder together. It also includes Intelligent Document Protection as part of its document-handling features.

Long Document Scanning

The scanner supports long documents up to 4.1 metres (160 inches) in long-document mode. The standard maximum document length through the automatic feeder is 863.6 mm, with the exact supported length depending on the selected scanning mode.

Flexible Paper Handling

The i2900 supports paper from 34 to 413 g/m². Paper over 200 g/m² is specified for the rear exit paper path. The scanner can therefore accommodate a range of supported document weights beyond standard office paper.

Front or Rear Paper Exit

The scanner provides two paper-path options. Documents can exit into the front output tray, or users can manually select the rear straight-through paper path for supported documents.

Perfect Page Image Processing

The i2900 supports Kodak Alaris image-processing functions including deskew, autocrop, automatic orientation, automatic colour detection, blank-page detection, electronic colour dropout, background smoothing and adaptive threshold processing.

Smart Touch Scanning

The i2900 supports Alaris Smart Touch, allowing users to configure scanning workflows for commonly performed tasks. The scanner is also supported by Alaris Capture Pro Software Limited Edition and the specified TWAIN, ISIS and WIA drivers.

USB Connectivity

The Kodak i2900 uses USB connectivity, with Kodak Alaris specifying USB 2.0 and compatibility with USB 3.0. This allows the scanner to connect directly to a compatible computer.

High-Volume Document Scanning

The Kodak i2900 is intended for regular document-processing workloads. Kodak Alaris specifies a recommended daily volume of up to 10,000 pages through the ADF, while the built-in A4 flatbed has a separate recommended daily volume of 100 pages.

This distinction is important when evaluating the scanner for your organization. The 10,000-page figure relates to the automatic document feeder and should not be interpreted as the recommended daily volume for the flatbed.

A4 Flatbed and Automatic Document Feeder

One of the useful characteristics of the i2900 is the combination of a 250-sheet ADF and built-in A4 flatbed.

The ADF is intended for batch scanning, while the flatbed provides a scanning option for documents that require individual handling. Kodak Alaris also lists an optional A3 Flatbed Accessory for the i2900, which expands the scanner’s ability to handle larger exception documents.

Who Is the Kodak i2900 Suitable For?

The Kodak i2900 is suitable for offices and organizations that regularly digitize paper records and need both automatic document feeding and flatbed scanning.

It can be considered where document volumes, scanning speed, feeder capacity and document-handling requirements make a standard low-volume desktop scanner unsuitable.

The appropriate scanner should still be selected according to the expected daily workload, document sizes, paper weights, required resolution, software environment and connection requirements.

Why Choose the Kodak i2900?

The Kodak i2900 combines 60 ppm duplex scanning, a 250-sheet ADF, 600 dpi optical resolution, built-in A4 flatbed scanning, ultrasonic multi-feed detection and USB connectivity.

Its combination of automatic feeding and flatbed scanning gives organizations flexibility when working with regular paper batches as well as documents that need to be handled individually.
