Document Imaging Value Added Reseller and national equipment maintenance provider Imaging 411, a leading provider of document capture and ECM solutions, today announced it has been designated by Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE6501/NYSE:HIT) and Hitachi Computer Peripherals Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. as the United States distributor of the Hitachi HT-4139 high speed document scanner.

The Hitachi HT-4139 (MSRP: $34,995) is a 150 ppm desktop scanner that offers some unique capabilities into the market segment such as a second output hopper, and Tri-stream output. The second output tray is used for exception handling and for sorting out separator sheets from a batch of scanned images. Imaging 411 believes the HT-4139 is the first desktop scanner to offer this capability and at less than a third of the cost of floor standing scanners within the industry that offer multiple output pockets.

The HT-4139 is expected be one of the first production desktop scanners to take advantage of USB 3.0’s higher speed of 5Gbit/sec compared to the older USB 2.0’s 480Mbit/sec. The additional speed is utilized by the scanners ability to output three different streams of data simultaneously. Users can select from numerous output options, such as 24 bit color, 8 bit grayscale, and bi-tonal images, or outputting s color image, a color dropout image and bi-tonal at speeds up to 150ppm.

“Imaging 411 is honored to introduce the HT-4139 scanner into the United States with Hitachi. We believe this scanner represents a revolutionary change in the high speed desktop category and will be very successful here.” commented Joe Paradiso, CEO of Imaging 411.

May 2009 - Scanner Traders receives Business Solutions Channel Innovator Award for their focused approach to the used scanner market. Scanner Traders, an Imaging 411 company was recognized by Business Solutions Magazine as one of their 2009 Channel Innovators for their efforts to promote scanner recycling and remove the risk of purchasing pre-owned scanners.

The article which appears in the May 2009 of Business solutions quotes Joe Paradiso (CEO of Scanner Traders), "There are other companies out there selling used scanners. However, Scanner Traders has a couple significant differentiators. “We’ve taken selling preowned equipment a step further by offering direct maintenance support and a warranty on the used equipment via Imaging 411,” he explains. “Our existing competition primarily acts as a broker between a seller and buyer. There typically hasn’t been any refurbishment done to the equipment, so the purchaser is getting the scanner as the seller left it.” Scanner Trader gives a 90-day ‘like new’ warranty and offers its support for extended warranties. Some scanner manufacturers only offer a 90-day warranty on new equipment, so customers aren’t losing anything by purchasing a refurbished scanner.

In addition to selling pre-owned scanners, Scanner Traders has begun their "Scan Green" campaign designed to promote recycling and "green" principles within the document imaging industry. Armstrong points out "There are a number of parts and components within scanners such as printed circuit boards that could be harmful to the environment if not disposed of properly, we strip scanners not in suitable condition for refurbishment and ensure that the parts that can be used for recycling are, and those that cannot be are disposed of in an environmentally safe manner."
