The new Bell & Howell Copiscan 8000 Plus: The new formula for scanning success.


Introducing the Copiscan® 8000 Plus, a new scanner platform based on Bell & Howell’s award-winning Copiscan 8000 Series family of scanners. The Copiscan 8000 Plus delivers maximum throughput and ease of operation for high-volume production scanning environments.

VRS + Superior Technology = Productivity
All Copiscan 8000 Plus scanners with video interfaces include Kofax’s VirtualReScanTM image enhancement technology as a standard feature at no additional cost. VRS is a powerful combination of hardware and software that takes the guesswork out of scanner settings. An “intelligent monitoring agent” checks image quality and rejects documents that fall below preset quality levels. In addition, VRS automatically recovers from many common problems, such as multifeeds, paper jams and out-of-paper errors. This means scanner operators can work more efficiently, which ultimately boosts productivity.

With its array of innovative paper handling and image enhancement technologies, Bell & Howell has long led the industry in producing scanners that maximize throughput. Other features on the Copiscan 8000 Plus, such as ultrasonic multifeed detection for mixed paper sizes and lengths, on-demand multiple color dropout and Adaptive Contrast Enhancement (ACE) image processing, make quick work of the heaviest workloads, day in and day out.


One-Touch Operation + Intelligent Design = Ease of Use
Operating a Bell & Howell scanner has never been easier. Copiscan 8000 Plus scanners also include a new operator interface for simple, ‘one-touch’ scanning. Three new buttons — “clean,” “multifeed ignore,” and “batch counter reset” — instantly set the scanner for these common tasks. This lets operators focus on scanning documents — not reading complicated user manuals.

In addition, Bell & Howell has added a new, more intuitive paper handling system to the Copiscan 8000 Plus. The paper feeder automatically self-adjusts for paper thicknesses, and a new exit tray accommodates documents of almost any size. This increases productivity by reducing jams and paper misfeeds. Combine that with an easy access clamshell design and the productivity-enhancing benefits of VRS, and you have a scanner that exceeds your requirements, even in the most pressing conditions.


Productivity + Ease of Use + Bell & Howell Support = Satisfaction Guaranteed
Besides its leadership in technology, Bell & Howell has earned a reputation for going the extra mile when it comes to service and support. You’ll never have to worry about excessive downtime — Bell & Howell backs its scanners with a comprehensive one-year warranty that includes on-site technical support with a 72-hour response time.
