Trūper 3600 Scanner Wins Approval of Two Leading Independent Test Labs

Blue Ribbon Seal of Approval

Buyers Labratory's "Pick of the Year."

WHEELING, Ill., August 1, 2007 – BÖWE BELL + HOWELL Scanners’ fast and durable low-volume production scanner, the Trūper 3600, won recognition from two independent digital imaging and office equipment testing companies. Part of the company’s Trūper Series, the Trūper 3600 earned the prestigious “Pick of the Year” award from Buyers Laboratory Inc.  (BLI) and a Four Star, Highly Recommended rating from BERTL Inc.

Ideal for the document imaging needs of everyday business, Trūper 3600 scans up to 62 pages per minute (106 images per minute) and 10,000 pages per day – the highest daily duty cycle in its category. The scanner hardware comes bundled with Kofax’s VirtualReScan® 4.1 image enhancement technology – Basic or Professional – as a standard feature. It also ships with direct ISIS and TWAIN drivers for easy installation.

“We are honored that editors and technicians at BLI and BERTL have given their stamps of approval to the Trūper 3600 – a scanner developed to bring a new level of speed, durability and ease-of-use to low-volume production scanning,” said Russell Hunt, president of BÖWE BELL + HOWELL Scanners.  Buyers Laboratory’s “Pick of the Year”

Winner of BLI’s Spring 2007 “Pick of the Year” award in the low-volume production category, the Trūper 3600 also was the fastest scanner that Buyers Laboratory has tested to date.

“We chose the Trūper 3600 as ‘Outstanding Low-Volume Production Scanner’ for its speed, reliability and media handling, and its pricing, which is lower than the average for models in its class,” said Lynn Nannariello, assistant managing editor for BLI.

BLI is an independent office-equipment testing lab and business consumer advocate. Its coveted “Pick of the Year” awards acknowledge the best products tested in various categories. BLI bases its evaluation of document scanners on performance areas including reliability, image processing features, ease of use, productivity, file sizes, media handling and value.

The Trūper 3600 also won a Four Star, Highly Recommended rating from BERTL, a market leader in independent analysis of digital imaging devices and workflow solutions.
