The imageFORMULA ScanFront 400 CAC/PIV scanner allows for use of Common Access Cards (CACs), typically issued by the United States Department of Defense, and Personal Identification Verification (PIV) cards through a special card reader to manage access to the device, as well as required password entry for physical usage. The device also allows for the document data encryption to be sent via e-mail as well as the ability to apply digital signatures with non-repudiation for further security.
Efficiency
With the imageFORMULA ScanFront 400 CAC/PIV scanner, users will experience scan speeds up to 45 ppm for simplex and up to 90 ipm for duplex.1 The ScanFront 400 CAC/PIV scanner offers true versatility with its ability to handle a variety of document types with precision, including plastic identification cards, passports and long documents. Utilizing advanced features such as Auto Color Detection, the imageFORMULA ScanFront 400 CAC/PIV scanner provides users with dependable and accurate scanning to capture original documents effectively and with clarity. The device also allows for a more streamlined workflow through the ability to pre-program repetitive tasks and the ability to send information simultaneously to a variety of locations, including e-mail, shared folders and FTP servers.
Design
