Product Description
Kodak i2900 Overview and Features
The Kodak i2900 is a compact, high-performance duplex color scanner designed for busy offices and departments that need reliable, high-volume document capture. Capable of scanning up to 60 pages per minute at 200–300 dpi, the i2900 combines a robust automatic document feeder (ADF) with a built-in A4 flatbed for handling exception documents like books, folders, passports, and thick items. Its dual-CCD imaging and versatile resolution range (100–1200 dpi) deliver crisp output across common formats including PDF, TIFF, JPEG, RTF, and searchable PDF.
Practical Capabilities and Workflow Integration
This model supports long-document scanning (up to 160 inches segmented), a 250-sheet ADF capacity, and both auto-feed and hand-feed paths. Users benefit from Smart Touch one-button workflows and Kodak Capture Desktop compatibility for streamlined capture, editing, and output to file systems, email, SharePoint, or printers. TWAIN, ISIS and other drivers are included for broad software support, and optional accessories—such as the Kodak Printer Accessory for rear-side printing and an A3 flatbed—extend functionality for specialized needs.
Design, Controls and Connectivity
The i2900 provides an intuitive operator control panel with programmable task keys, start/stop buttons and status LEDs that report readiness and error conditions. Physically it’s engineered for desktop use with input/output tray extenders, adjustable side guides, a gap-release for stiff media, and a rear exit for straight-through paper path handling. Connectivity is via USB 3.0 and it supports a wide range of operating systems including Windows, select Linux distributions and macOS.
Maintenance, Consumables and Reliability
Kodak emphasizes preventive maintenance: recommended cleaning routines, transport cleaning sheets, roller cleaning pads and replacement schedules for consumables (feed module, separation roller, tires, pre-separation pads). Nominal consumable lifespans are provided (e.g., separation tires ~250k documents, feed module ~1M documents). Detailed troubleshooting, error codes, and replacement procedures help minimize downtime. The scanner is Energy Star qualified and shipped with a default 15-minute power-saver setting.
Notes
- Built-in flatbed supports A4; optional A3 flatbed expands to 11×17 in.
- Printer Accessory prints on rear side at full scanner speed; requires ink cartridge and driver configuration.
