Secure-boot Solution ensures that only trusted firmware can be loaded on supported devices, which
prevents adversaries from taking control of the device using unauthentic firmware.
Kodak Asset Management Software enables businesses to manage their fleet of Kodak Alaris scanners
through a single solution.

Workflow Automation
Kodak Alaris offers several workflow automation solutions that can streamline and standardize
frequently recurring scan jobs.
Smart Touch Technology is a scan utility bundled with all Kodak Alaris scanners that offers basic workflow
automation. Smart Touch enables users to create customized scanning profiles to streamline andstandardize frequently recurring tasks, eliminating mistakes that can create big problems downstream
and freeing workers from mundane scanning jobs, so they can focus on higher-level tasks.
Kodak Capture Pro Software delivers advanced document capture/routing and batch-processing
capabilities. The solution leverages barcode recognition capabilities to automate batch separationand document-indexing processes. Other standout features include quality control tools to reduce
mistakes during data entry processes, mark detection tools for enhanced forms processing, andconnectors with tons of popular software.
Kodak Perfect Page Technology automatically applies the optimal image enhancement settings to eachscanned document, so users don’t have to. Perfect Page technology is a key contributor to Kodak
Alaris’ high OCR accuracy.

Flawless Reliability and Superior OCR and Compression Capabilities
Kodak Alaris scanners are highly reliable and offer some of the best OCR and compression capabilities
that Keypoint Intelligence has seen. Of the nearly 2 million pages that Keypoint Intelligence technicians
have run through the current lineup of scanners from Kodak Alaris, only five misfeeds—0.0000025%
of all pages fed!—were recorded. Kodak Alaris scanners are routinely among the most accurate
devices during OCR accuracy testing, and they output smaller than average files compared to theirrespective competitive units.
