SCS Distribution, sole distributor for Axis Communications in Africa, has presented its first document server using the USB-port for scanner connectivity. The AXIS 70U transforms paper documents into digital format and sends them as e-mail using the widely used Adobe PDF format. This significantly improves the ease-of-use and safety of sending paper documents by using normal e-mail infrastructure.
AXIS 70U is the perfect tool for sending documents in any medium to large-sized paper-intensive company that today regularly uses fax or courier. The new Axis 70U follows up on the successful release of the AXIS 70, which connects to a scanner through the SCSI-port. By using the USB-port for connecting to a scanner, the AXIS 70U addresses a new and larger market for intelligent document distribution.
Faster, cheaper and safer than using fax, traditional mail and courier, the AXIS 70U saves paper documents in digital format (Adobe PDF) and sends them as e-mail. The AXIS 70U makes it easier to distribute documents such as invoices and orders. Network document servers also provide a safe way to easily communicate and archive paper-based documents simply by e-mailing them using existing investments in IP-networks. This method relies on the existing e-mail and network infrastructure, created to secure confidential corporate communication.
Being able to directly communicate with multiple individuals, and organise and track past e-mails are instrumental in modern communication, and the AXIS 70U and AXIS 70 Network Document Servers provide the most cost-effective way to archive this.
Using the document server is easy: just insert a document into a scanner, select recipients and press "Send" to distribute the document to any number of recipients over any IP-based network - without any additional distribution costs. The AXIS 70U connects and networks popular office scanners such as Epson, Fujitsu and HP.
