Document digitization is a critical part of doing business today. Modern document imaging technologies improve efficiency, speed, and cost savings. With fast and accurate digitization, the Fujitsu fi-8170 delivers all these benefits and more. Before you purchase your next scanner, consider these five reasons to choose the fi-8170.
Fast Double-Sided Scanning
With double-sided scanning and scan speeds of up to 70 pages per minute, the Fujitsu fi-8170 digitizes your documents quickly and accurately. It also incorporates a 100-page automatic document feeder equipped with enhanced handling and exit stacker design. Thanks to this capacity, scanning large batches of documents is faster and more efficient.
Clear Image Capture
The Fujitsu fi-8170 includes Clear Image Capture technology. It uses 3D color conversion to digitize images using nearly 5,000 color levels, resulting in much more accurate colors than traditional scanners. CIC also corrects color shifts and line distortions caused by crumpled, folded, or creased paper. This results in exceptional image clarity and improved optical character recognition performance.

With Clear Image Capture, automating document classification and data extraction is much easier. Users benefit from increased data capture efficiency. Searching and retrieving information from documents also becomes faster and easier.
Multi-Feed Detection
Multi-feeds can occur due to misfeeds, skewed pages, wrinkled sheets, or excess humidity that makes pages stick together. After extended use periods, feed or pick rollers can wear out and cause pages to misfeed.
Multi-feed detection is a feature on Fujitsu scanners that prevents multiple pages from scanning as a single page. Using ultrasonic sensors, the scanner sends out sound waves that bounce off pages as they feed into the scanner. When it detects a multi-feed, the scanner stops the job and alerts the user. This helps ensure that the scanner produces the most complete and accurate scans possible.
Advanced Jam Prevention
The Fujitsu fi-8170 scanner has two paper jam prevention features. Intelligent Sonic Paper Protection, or iSOP for short, uses sound to detect paper jams. Ultrasonic sensors monitor the sounds of incoming scans. If the scanner detects pages twisted out of alignment or held together by staples, it stops the job in progress to avoid damaging the document. Meanwhile, Image Monitoring checks paper feed distances and stops the scan if those distances do not fall within normal parameters. These features protect your original documents and ensure complete and accurate data capture.
Heavy Duty Design
Besides accuracy, speed, capacity, and jam prevention features, the fi-8170 is built to last. It boasts an expected daily volume of 10,000 sheets, making it ideal for offices with high-volume workloads. Its internal components are crafted for continuous use: a durable frame, heavy-duty motors, and consumables with extended lifespans such as pick and brake rollers rated for up to 200,000 sheets.
Fujitsu offers an extensive selection of scanners to meet your workplace’s needs. For individual users, consider the ScanSnap iX-1300 with its compact footprint and direct scan-to-cloud functionality. Budget-friendly desktop scanners include the fi-7030, a light-duty machine with a 50-page ADF and flexible feeding. Whether you need one network scanner like the fi-8170 for multiple users or compact solutions like the iX-1300, you have many options for maximizing your workplace’s productivity.
