Brother International (Gulf) has announced that two new desktop scanners – PDS 5000 and PDS 6000 – have become available in the UAE.

These new and enhanced devices are fit for high volume scanning needs and thus will play an important part in the document lifecycle of small and mid-sized businesses (SMB).

Brother is confident that the new scanners will reduce costs, increase productivity and improve workflow. The new PDS models feature increased speed and throughput allowing for higher quality images and larger file sizes, as well as improved image processing and compatibility through drivers and award-winning bundled software solutions.

A company statement explained: “Kofax VRS compatibility enables the PDS-series devices to deliver the best-possible image quality through improved optical character recognition (OCR) processing. Barcode batch scanning support allows SMBs to increase efficiency by rapidly processing multiple mixed sets of documents without pre-sorting or stopping and starting. These models also support a USB 3.0 interface as well as speeds up to 60 pages per minute (PDS 5000) or up to 80 pages per minute (PDS 6000)."

"SMBs count on Brother for reliable and innovative business solutions. These new desktop scanners with enhanced features and interoperability can help SMBs transform manual paper processes into easy and efficient electronic document workflows,” said Soichi Murakami, managing director of Brother International (Gulf).

“In addition, these scanners allow customers to store data and communicate information that historically has been locked in hard-copy form." -TradeArabia News Service
