MELVILLE, N.Y., March 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In the era of
high-risk security threats and data breaches, it is vital that
governmental and public sector offices do all that they can to
improve document security. To help customers meet this critical
need, Canon U.S.A., a leader in
digital imaging solutions, has announced the release of the
imageFORMULA ScanFront 400 Common Access Card/Personal Identity
Verification (CAC/PIV) networked document scanner, a highly secure
compact device to easily capture, convert and distribute sensitive
documents. The ScanFront 400 CAC/PIV takes advantage of access
cards and personal identification verification to assist federal
government departments in complying with assurance policies and
mandates for digital data transfer.
"With the threat of data breaches ever growing in the twenty
first century, it is crucial that those handling documents with
sensitive and potentially confidential information do all that they
can to protect themselves from letting this data fall into the
wrong hands," said Toyotsugu Kuwamura, executive vice president and
general manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon
U.S.A., Inc. "The enhanced
security features of Canon's imageFORMULA ScanFront 400 CAC/PIV
networked document scanner will help those who handle and process
this information to do so in a highly secure manner, giving them
the peace of mind that the documents they process are only
accessible to the intended audience."
Security
Secure document scanning is vital to
organizations looking to increase efficiency, reduce fraud and
protect privacy of their employees and clients. 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
Featuring a larger color LCD screen from the
device's predecessor (10.1 inches), the imageFORMULA ScanFront 400
CAC/PIV scanner allows for a clear preview of the scanned documents
to help ensure that the image was captured correctly. The device
contains three USB ports to allow users to connect the necessary
CAC/PIV-compliant card reader. The USB ports also provide users
with the ability to connect additional USB peripherals such as
keyboard and mouse. Given the sensitivity of the information
processed by the device, the ScanFront 400 CAC/PIV scanner features
a built-in Kensington lock slot to help protect the device
itself.
Availability
The Canon imageFORMULA ScanFront
400 CAC/PIV is now available to customers and through Canon
authorized dealers.
