Hitachi HT-4139 high speed document scanner

Hitachi has a mission, "to identify the real needs of their customers and to set and achieve goals that surpass those needs. They develop and apply new technology without being bound by tradtitional thinking." This philsophy is apparent in the first scanner Hitachi has decided to introduce to the United States, the HT-4139, a 150 ppm desktop scanner that re-defines the boundries for desktop scanning.

At first glance you'll notice the dual output pockets, a feature typically found in floor standing scanners that cost three times the price of the HT-4139. Finally, a desktop scanner that can route mis-feeds and separator sheets (patch code and bar code sheets) to a special pocket to improve productivity and reduce the labor costs of other scanners by having to manually sort the patch codes from the scanned pages.

Hitachi takes dual stream output and goes one better offering Tri-stream output in the HT-4139. Most production scanners today provide dual stream output so you can capture a high resolution color image and bi-tonal in one pass from the scanner, but given its OCR origins the HT-4139 allows users to configure three different output streams from one pass. Capture two high resolution color images, and have a single or multiple colors automatically dropped out on one, and capture a bi-tonal image at the same time.
