"Like having a personal assistant," DocuMate(R) 162 scanner can
capture, organize and repurpose paper documents for nearly any
application
PLEASANTON, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) today announced a new, easy-to-use
document scanner that help users be more productive by scanning,
e-mailing and copying their documents at the touch of a single button.

   The Xerox DocuMate 162 color document scanner scans up to 50
images per minute (ipm) in duplex mode and includes a 50-page
automatic document feeder that handles everything from business cards
and checks to legal size documents. And it includes Visioneer
OneTouch(R) technology with advanced TWAIN and certified ISIS drivers
that will enable communication with hundreds of enterprise content
management (ECM) and document image management (DIM) software
solutions.

   "Having the DocuMate 162 scanner on your desk is like having a
personal assistant," said John Capurso, vice president of marketing
for the Xerox DocuMate scanners. "Its next generation scanner
technology solves real-world problems such as capturing a multi-page
contract in searchable PDF so that the document can be searched by
content; scanning receipts that are hardly legible; or scanning
colored multi-part shipping forms that are smudged and difficult to
read and then electronically filing them with transit records. The
Xerox DocuMate 162 scanner combines speed and high functionality with
ease of use and affordability so that the scanner adapts to the
customer's document and capture needs, not the other way around."

   More Productive

   With a small footprint that fits on any desk, the scanner can
quickly convert paper documents into searchable PDF files that are
readily shared, organized and protected. Visioneer OneTouch with
Kofax(R) VRS(TM) technology enhances imperfect originals, straightens
and automatically crops them with the touch of a button.

   "Anyone who has a filing cabinet will immediately discover the
benefit of making a small investment in a desktop scanner," Capurso
said. "The time saved alone in filing, searching and retrieving paper
will pay back the customer investment in only a few months, making it
virtually a no-risk purchase."

   Scanning at the Touch of a Button

   Visioneer OneTouch technology allows users to scan to the
"destination" of their choice by pressing a single button, eliminating
multiple steps in sending scanned documents to predetermined
applications or devices. Scanner buttons come pre-programmed to scan,
e-mail or copy in searchable PDF file format, but the user can
customize them to scan to print, scan to archive, scan to network, and
scan to OCR. The Visioneer OneTouch driver bundled with the DocuMate
162 scanner also supports automatic delivery of scanned images to
applications such as Microsoft SharePoint(R), Kofax Ascent(R)
Collection Server, EMC Captiva(R) QuickScan Pro(R), FileBound(R),
Laserfiche(R), DocuWare(R), Xerox DocuShare(R) and Datacap
Taskmaster(R).

   Bundled Software

   The new scanner includes bundled software worth more than $400,
including Visioneer OneTouch with Kofax VRS technology, Nuance
PaperPort(R), OmniPage(R) Pro OCR and TWAIN, certified ISIS and WIA
drivers. Nuance PaperPort is a desktop document management solution
that enables users to view and assemble mixed document types into PDF
files that can be managed and accessed locally or on the network.
OmniPage Pro converts high volumes of paper, PDF and forms into files
that can searched and edited.

   Pricing and Availability

   The Xerox DocuMate 162 scanner is priced at $695 and is available
immediately through retail and online channel partners, major
resellers and Xerox and its agents and dealers.
