The printer prints at 23 lines per second and has an auto-cutter.

The Neat Company, US-based developers of scanning software and hardware solutions, says its full suite of products, including NeatReceipts, NeatDesk, NeatScanToOffice, and NeatScan are now GSA/TAA-compliant, according to Sys-Con Media.

As a result, The Neat Company is bringing its complete digital organisational system for all paper management to the government sector.

The adoption of the paperless office has been challenging and difficult for both the government and private sector. A report by the Delphi Group showed 15% of all paper handled in businesses is lost and 30% of all employees' time is spent trying to find lost documents.
