Allied Images, Colortrac’s UK and Ireland large format scanner distributor, has announced that the SmartLF Ci 40e (enhanced colour) technical document scanner, recently awarded a BERTL 4 ½-Star "Outstanding" rating, is now available with a certified ISIS (Image and Scanner Interface Specification) large format driver.

ISIS is a software standard for the acquisition, viewing, file format conversion, printing and storage of documents in order to ensure consistent and reliable communication between scanning hardware and software. ISIS is the basis for a public domain standard, ANSI/AIIM MS61-1996 Application Programming Interface (API) for Scanners in Document Imaging Systems, issued also as ISO 14984.

Allied Images' SmartLF Ci 40e

ISIS was originally created by Pixel Translations, now EMC Corporation, the ISIS specifier and regulator.

Over 300, high speed small format document scanners are now available with this industry standard, enterprise-level interface. ISIS ensures that scanned information is quickly and reliably integrated into EDM (electronic document management) and EDC (electronic document capture) applications for digital distribution, processing and storage.

Once hardware drivers are written, they are tested for compliance with the ISIS standard by the EMC Corporation. A consistent user interface across third party programs and robust, reliable performance are the chief benefits of the ISIS standard. Only after passing stringent tests is ISIS certification issued and the drivers listed on EMC Corporation's website. This demanding process results in ISIS certified solutions providing unrivalled reliablity and interoperability between scanner hardware and document management software.

Colortrac has provided an ISIS driver for its large format scanners since 2003 when the Colortrac 3680e scanner ISIS driver was first developed. Colortrac has supplied its ISIS driver over the years to many customers with its wide format scanners. Users find the familiar ISIS scanning interface and workflow reduces staff training costs. Further, they can be confident that with a certified and tested ISIS connection and a SmartLF wide format scanner, customers easily expand their EDM system to manage scanned wide format documents, like technical drawings and maps.

Colortrac specifically developed its unique wide format ISIS driver in order to give EDM users with small format scanners a quick, easy and cost-effective route up to large format document capture. EDM professionals wanting to scan large format documents simply need to acquire a SmartLF scanner with its ISIS driver, then continue to use the EDM software they already own and their existing know how to capture large format documents. SmartLF large format scanners now join over 300 hardware devices which share support for the ISIS standard compatible with over 200 software solutions.

Recent sales successes and economic conditions have re-focused Colortrac's marketing efforts in the EDM / EDC market and a key element of its strategy is to strengthenits product offering to these prospective customers in these markets. The SmartLF Ci 40 large format scanner range is ideally suited to EDC / EDM applications with its high speed, colour capability and small footprint.
