Give users one scanner that can handle both routine batches and exception documents. The KODAK Alaris i3450 with A4 flatbed pairs an automatic document feeder with a flatbed, so teams can scan stapled pages, bound materials, IDs, and fragile originals without moving to a separate device. That flexibility matters in environments where document types vary throughout the day. The 50-sheet ADF supports efficient batch capture, while duplex scanning helps reduce handling time for two-sided documents. With 600 dpi optical resolution, the scanner is suited to image capture that needs to hold up for OCR, records management, and detailed review. It is a strong fit for offices that want to standardize on one capture station instead of maintaining separate scanners for flat items and paper stacks. For procurement teams, the value is in reducing exceptions. A flatbed-equipped scanner can absorb the edge cases that slow down a pure ADF workflow, which helps keep staff productive and documents moving. For IT, it is a straightforward desktop capture device that fits into established scanning workflows without adding unnecessary complexity.
