Planon RC805 DocuPen Scanner

Redefine The Way You Work
where and how you work.

PlanOn brings you the "office-in-a-pocket" solution. When you're ready to hit the road, put your laptop in your briefcase along with your DocuPen RC805 full-page scanner.

The DocuPen allows you to scan whole pages of text or images with one swipe of the scanner.

The RC805 is about the size of a long pen, functions fully on it's own, and is powered by rechargeable batteries.

The DocuPen RC805

The DocuPen packs in more value than competitors with a Rechargeable Battery built in, a compact and sleek design, Built in Memory (so can operate without needing to purchase separately), has anexpandable memory Micro SD slot, is completely portable, captures 100's of images at 400dpi resolution in both colour and black and white. Scanning any page takes just 4-8 seconds. When you get back to the computer, plug the RC805 directly into a USB port both to transfer images and to recharge it's battery at the same time - never worry about needing new batteries (plus its also better for the environment).

Work times and places are being redefined with more people needing to get things done on the road away from the convenience of their office. Planon allows you to bring your office with you with the DocuPen scanner. Even though the DocuPen is pen-size, it is not the typical "pen" scanner that only scans a line at a time, the RC805 scanner scans the whole page in one sweep just like your office scanner.

The DocuPen is your tool to help you become more organized and efficient for many uses. Use it to quickly scan a signed document at your desk and email it - rather than finding a scanner somewhere in your office. Use it in your hotel room rather than having to find a business office. Real estate, banking and insurance sales professionals can scan needed identification and documents right at their client's home and save time and have important backup.

It's great to capture images when on holidays like a menu, or wine bottle label, handy way to make a digital copy of receipts and tax records and filings (some even scan cheques as they send them, since most banks no longer return paper cheques with statements); experts recommend saving those images on a CD in case there's ever a challenge.

Every person we know who owns a DocuPen tends to find new uses for it. Both Abbyy Finereader SE (professional level OCR software) and PaperPort SE software are included which give you great image editing and organizing tools for all your letters, receipts, pictures, business card and also provide the ability to integrate with Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel and other applications making your life more efficient.



Whats in the Box?

Millions of people use ScanSoft PaperPort to turn piles of paper into organised digital documents. At work and at home we are inundated with paperwork - receipts, bills, letters, tax information, memos, investment statements, contracts - you name it - the paperwork keeps piling up. PaperPort simplifies things. It's the best tool available to make your DocuPen easier and more efficient to use.

2. ABBYY FineReader OCR Software(Windows/MAC) Software (included):

ABBYY FineReader Sprint is designed for simple OCR tasks. It allows you to scan and convert paper documents to Microsoft Word, Excel, plain text, or HTML. Instead of converting scanned pages into images, FineReader Sprint actually reads each page and converts it into a highly-accurate document you can edit in Microsoft Office or other applications.

** IMPORTANT: This version of ABBYY is not compatible with Mac Intel **

The uses are endless: scan a printed contract and revise its terms on-the-go; scan a long article and use a snippet of it as text in an email; scan a table of numbers and convert them into a graph in Microsoft Excel.

Points to Remember Before You Scan

What you scan is what you get. The DocuPen is sensitive to changes in direction and scan speed and records every movement you make. The more uniform your scan swipe, the better your scanned image results. This may take a little practice at first. Scanning too quickly or abruptly changing acceleration causes the RED X LED to flash, reminding you to reduce your scanning speed.
