Features

The Kodak i940 ScanMate Scanner in its sleek black and grey design is a compact yet highly capable document scanning solution developed for small offices, home offices, and professionals who need reliable document digitization without complex setup. Designed with efficiency and simplicity in mind, this scanner offers an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), duplex scanning, and intelligent image processing in a portable form factor. Kodak, a globally trusted name in imaging technology, has engineered the i940 to deliver consistent scan quality, dependable performance, and user-friendly operation for everyday business needs. Its lightweight design and minimal footprint make it ideal for desks with limited space, while still providing features commonly found in larger office scanners.

Automatic Document Feeder and Media Handling Flexibility

One of the most practical features of the Kodak i940 ScanMate Scanner is its built-in Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), which allows users to scan multiple documents quickly without manual page-by-page feeding. With an ADF capacity of up to 20 sheets, the scanner supports smooth workflow for invoices, contracts, reports, and other multi-page documents. The ADF accommodates a wide range of media sizes, with a maximum scan size of 8.5 x 14 inches, making it suitable for legal-sized documents as well as standard A4 and letter-sized papers. In addition, the scanner supports media thickness up to 50 mil, enabling it to handle thicker documents such as ID cards and business cards without difficulty.

High Optical Resolution and Color Accuracy

The Kodak i940 ScanMate Scanner offers a maximum optical resolution of 600 dpi, ensuring that scanned documents maintain sharp text clarity and accurate image detail. This level of resolution is particularly beneficial for archiving important paperwork, scanning detailed graphics, or capturing small fonts with precision. With a 24-bit external color depth, the scanner reproduces colors faithfully, making it suitable for scanning color documents, charts, and images. The internal grayscale depth of 8-bit further enhances document readability by preserving smooth tonal transitions in grayscale scans, which is ideal for text-heavy documents and monochrome records.

Duplex Scanning for Increased Productivity

Duplex scanning capability is a major productivity advantage of the Kodak i940 ScanMate Scanner. By scanning both sides of a document in a single pass, the scanner significantly reduces processing time and eliminates the need for manual page flipping. This feature is especially useful for double-sided contracts, forms, ID cards, and official paperwork. The scanner achieves duplex speeds of up to 30 images per minute in color and 40 images per minute in grayscale, allowing users to complete large scanning tasks efficiently. Duplex scanning not only saves time but also helps maintain document order and accuracy during digitization.

Fast and Reliable Scan Speeds

Speed is a critical factor in daily office operations, and the Kodak i940 ScanMate Scanner delivers dependable performance for small-scale scanning needs. In simplex mode, the scanner achieves speeds of up to 15 pages per minute in color and 20 pages per minute in grayscale. These speeds are well-suited for routine document processing, ensuring that users can scan documents quickly without workflow interruptions. The scanner’s consistent performance makes it a reliable choice for offices that require regular document digitization but do not need high-volume industrial scanners.

Intelligent Automatic Image Corrections

The Kodak i940 ScanMate Scanner is equipped with automatic image correction features that enhance scan quality without requiring manual adjustments. These intelligent corrections help improve brightness, contrast, and alignment, ensuring that scanned documents look clean and professional. Automatic image processing reduces common issues such as skewed pages, uneven lighting, and poor contrast, making scanned files easier to read and store. This feature is particularly valuable for users who want high-quality output without spending time fine-tuning scan settings for each document.

Versatile File Format Support

To accommodate various business and archival needs, the Kodak i940 ScanMate Scanner supports a wide range of file formats. Users can save scanned documents in BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PDF, Multi-Page PDF, Multi-Page TIFF, and RTF formats. This flexibility allows seamless integration into existing digital workflows, document management systems, and cloud storage platforms. Multi-page PDF and TIFF support is especially useful for organizing lengthy documents into single, easily shareable files. The ability to choose from multiple formats ensures compatibility with different software applications and business requirements.

Daily Duty Cycle and Professional Reliability

With a daily duty cycle of up to 500 scans, the Kodak i940 ScanMate Scanner is designed for consistent daily use in small office environments. This capacity ensures long-term reliability without excessive wear, making it suitable for administrative tasks, record digitization, and document archiving. The scanner is engineered to maintain stable performance under regular workloads, reducing downtime and maintenance concerns. Its robust build quality and dependable components reflect Kodak’s commitment to delivering professional-grade imaging solutions even in compact devices.

Connectivity, Drivers, and System Compatibility

The Kodak i940 ScanMate Scanner connects via USB 2.0, offering a straightforward and stable connection to compatible Windows systems. USB connectivity ensures quick setup and reliable data transfer without the need for additional hardware. The scanner supports TWAIN, WIA, and ISIS drivers, making it compatible with a wide range of scanning software and document management applications. These driver options allow users to integrate the scanner into existing workflows with ease. While mobile app compatibility is not supported, the scanner is optimized for desktop-based document processing environments.

Energy Efficiency, Power, and Operating Environment

Designed with efficiency in mind, the Kodak i940 ScanMate Scanner consumes a maximum of 15 watts of power, making it an energy-conscious choice for daily office use. The scanner is ENERGY STAR certified, reflecting its compliance with energy efficiency standards as specified by the manufacturer. It operates reliably within a temperature range of 50 to 95°F and humidity levels between 10 and 85 percent, ensuring stable performance in typical office environments. Powered by an included AC adapter and USB cable, the scanner does not rely on batteries, providing uninterrupted operation and consistent scanning performance throughout the workday.
