Hardware-based VRS technology offers users the most
widely accepted, state-of-the-art image enhancement
tools available in the industry. With

ACD affords via uninterrupted performance are
unmistakable, such as increased document capture
productivity and lower storage requirements.

Bell + Howell Truper
Low Volume Production
Scanner
Truper offers one of the
highest speeds and duty cycles in its class. As a
rotary scanner with a flatbed for exceptional documents, Truper's unique combination of image quality, duty cycle
and speed make it an attractive option for service
bureau overflow, busy office environments and businesses
with exception document scanning needs.
As the only scanner to
come bundled with VRS 4.2 Professional, Truper utilizes the bet
of breed technology to deliver industry leading value.
With features ranging from user replaceable rollers to
Auto Color Detect, Truper increases scanning
productivity and reduces the total cost of scanning.
Virtual Rescan 4.2 Professional
Truper provides both high
quality image enhancement and increased productivity
through VRS 4.2 Professional. Truper is the only scanner
on the market that bundles VRS 4.2 Professional as a standard
scanner feature. In addition to improved image
enhancement, VRS 4.2 Professional offers additional features
that improve scanning efficiency. These features
dramatically reduce document preparation and ongoing
file storage requirements.
VRS 4.2 Professional Features:
-
Auto Orientation -
Documents can be scanned in any orientation,
reducing preparation requirements. The
Auto-Orientation feature electronically rotates the
image so that it can be read right side up by the
scanner operator.
-
Auto Color Detect -
Scanning color for color, bitonal for black and
white. With Auto Color Detect, Truper
eliminates the pre-sorting of batched documents and
the inserting of patch codes and separator sheets
previously needed to capture color content.
-
Blank Page Deletion
- Eliminates blank pages when scanned in duplex.
This feature reduces files size and storage
requirements by detecting and deleting blank pages
within a scanned image. In addition, it also
reduces document preparation, as you can put both
simplex and duplex documents in the same batch.

onboard VRS, which means that each model has a VRS
board built in. It's like having a PC inside your

Bell + Howell Ngenuity
High-Volume
Production-Level Scanner
Ngenuity offers optimal
image quality and scans a wider range of documents than
any other scanner in its class. With an easy-to-use
operator interface and smart front panel functionality,
Ngenuity is user-friendly and ideal for companies in
industries such as healthcare, financial services,
insurance, government, and transportation. Further,
Ngenuity is made in the U.S.A. and built to last. It
features durable parts and a low overall cost of
consumables.
Ngenuity provides your
operation with productivity, image quality, and a low
cost of scanning:
Productivity
Ngenuity is a sprinter. Building on Bell + Howell's long
history of scanner innovation, they've equipped Ngenuity
with everything you need to build more efficiency into
your document management process.
Scan the Widest Range of Documents
Many organizations need to scan a lot of documents -
including standard-sized invoices and bills as well as
thin, long or even thick documents that can't make the
turn through a traditional rotary path. Ngenuity is
outfitted with two paper paths.
Equipped with a rotary and a straight pass through paper
path, Ngenuity scans a wider range of documents than any
other scanner in its class*. From EKG strips to card
stock and photos to rice paper, Ngenuity can accommodate
the diverse paper needs of just about any industry. The
rotary paper path can handle most documents such as
invoices, forms and contracts while the straight pass
through path is ideal for very long or thick documents.
Additionally, Ngenuity features special document modes
that auto-adjust feeding and transport settings for very
long, folded and fragile documents.
Scan More, Scan Faster and Load Less
Ngenuity's high-capacity feeder tray holds 700 documents
— 40 percent more than other scanners in its class —
helping you spend more time scanning and less time
loading documents.
The feeder features Variable Feeder Tray Capacity
control, which accommodates almost any batch size and is
smart enough to remember and auto-adjust to your last
batch size. What does this add up to? Freedom from
preset limitations and time saved when loading and
switching batches.
Plus, with an unlimited daily duty cycle and speeds of
up to 150 pages per minute (ppm) at 200 dpi in bitonal
and color, Ngenuity helps you get more of the
high-quality digital images you need — fast. With some
components that have been tested to last up to 50
million scans, Ngenuity also offers long-term
reliability.
Bid Farewell to Multifeeds
We were the first to use Ultrasonic Multifeed Detection
technology and with three independently controlled
ultrasonic sensors on Ngenuity, we're upping the ante to
ensure that all of your documents are scanned correctly.
The improved "Multifeed Ignore" feature allows you to
accept scanned images and continue scanning or
preemptively accept an intended multifeed. The "Ignore
by Size" feature offers additional flexibility by
allowing you to scan items such as taped receipts and
sticky notes that the scanner might otherwise recognize
as a multifeed and stop.
Connect with Ease
With a USB 2.0 port and cable, Ngenuity makes it easy to
connect to the PC and access much of the software and
scanner functionality. For those who need it, Ngenuity
is SCSI ready as well.
Through the PC, you can access the Ngenuity Operator
Utility, a handy tool that lets you track the total
number of scans, monitor maintenance schedules and
access cleaning menus.
Plus, Ngenuity features a user-friendly interface with
front panel functionality that offers easy access to
frequently used features and includes two user-customizeable
function buttons. This way, you can customize the
scanner so the features you need are at your fingertips.
All in all, Ngenuity makes scanning easier than ever
before.
*Comparative statements are based on published
specifications of certain other mid- to high-volume
production scanners at the time of launch.
Image Quality
The Ngenuity advantage. With industry-leading camera
technology and long-lasting reliable LED lights,
Ngenuity provides picture-perfect image quality every
time you scan.
Upgrade to High-Definition Images
Ngenuity's SharpShooter™ Trilinear CCD cameras join
forces with the scanner's white LED lights to produce
high-quality digital images consistently. The advanced
camera technology delivers 600 dpi optical capture and
output, while the white LED lights require no warm-up
time, which means they're ready to scan and produce
crystal-clear digital images the minute the scanner is
turned on.
This reliable image quality boosts, OCR, ICR and barcode
recognition rates and ensures more accurate forms
processing. Plus, it minimizes the need for camera
calibrations. In fact, the cameras on Ngenuity only need
to be calibrated 1-2 times per year.
Optimize Image Quality without Sacrificing Speed
Bell + Howell was the first to include
VirtualRescan®(VRS) technology onboard their scanners,
and they've done it again with Ngenuity. VRS 4.2
Professional technology is built into the scanner's
hardware. This means you get all of the advanced VRS
image enhancement features and error resolution tools,
including more precise image cropping and advanced color
management, which can improve image quality on documents
scanned in color, without sacrificing speed.
Low Cost of Scanning
Ngenuity is economical. Ngenuity's reliable,
long-lasting parts ensure that you spend less time (and
money) on consumables and maintenance, and more time
boosting your bottom line with a streamlined imaging
operation.
Keep Your Business Rolling with Long-Lasting Parts and
Easy Maintenance
With a steel body and durable parts, Ngenuity is ready
to work as hard as you do.
