Biscom Announces Fax Server and Fax Service Integration with Canon imageFORMULA ScanFront 220 and 220P

 

Chelmsford, MA - June 2, 2008 – Biscom Inc. today announced integration of its FAXCOM Server and FAXCOM Anywhere fax solutions with Canon’s imageFORMULA ScanFront 220 and 220P network scanning devices. This integration enables ScanFront 220/220P users to fax paper documents through Biscom’s network fax server solution or through Biscom’s hosted fax service.

The imageFORMULA ScanFront 220 and 220P expand productivity even further, taking Canon’s document scanners to a new class of their own, in terms of scanning innovation and workflow efficiency. These sleek, extremely compact standalone units can plug directly into an office network to deliver direct scanning and sending. The imageFORMULA ScanFront 220 and 220P offer state-of-the-art imaging technology and a user-friendly interface with full touch-screen convenience.

Canon’s imageFORMULA ScanFront 220 and 220P are color duplex network scanners featuring a large 8.5 inch color touch screen, capable of fast, high quality scanning up to 26 pages per minute. These devices scan directly to e-mail, FTP, shared-folders, and USB memory. Users can choose from personal, shared and even LDAP address books and customize up to 1056 Job Buttons.

Biscom’s FAXCOM Server product line provides organizations with a centralized network application for sending and receiving faxes, eliminating the need for standalone paper fax machines and the costs of adding phone lines and fax modems to scanners and multi-function devices. FAXCOM Anywhere is Biscom’s hosted fax service, through which organizations can provide their users with inbound and outbound fax capabilities without an investment in fax boards and phone lines.

“Our customers have a need to integrate paper documents with their premise FAXCOM Fax Servers and with our hosted FAXCOM Anywhere service,” said Brian Kilduff, VP Sales and Marketing for Biscom. “Integrating with Canon’s imageFORMULA ScanFront 220 and 220P gives our customers a great option for a cost effective, easy to use, scanning interface.”

“The combination of Biscom facsimile solutions and Canon imageFORMULA scanners will help give customers increased capabilities and help enhance their productivity,” said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A.

Biscom’s premise and hosted fax solutions utilize Biscom’s FAXCOM Suite for Windows software to fax enable users, applications, and scanning devices. FAXCOM Suite integrates with LDAP directory services such as Microsoft’s Active Directory, supports AD Group Policy for managing user permissions and attributes, and is administered via an MMC.
