Features for Productivity

Your batch of documents has different sized documents? The Auto Page Size will sort that for you.

I like the Automatic Rotation of Images for documents that are not homogenous when it comes to orientation. A mix of portrait and landscape documents will be handled by the Automatic Rotation of Images mode.

It’s often a good thing to have color pages identified automatically. A Panasonic KV-S2087 scanner will let you use this function easily.

Affraid of manually removing white pages? Don’t be, as the Blank document removal is available with the Panasonic KV-S2087.

The Panasonic KV-S2087 can proccess documents in different settings in a single job. This is done through the Dual stream scanning option.

Quality of images

The Background Removal is a must have feature with any scanner and the Panasonic KV-S2087 scanner has it as standard.

With the Edge Correction on the Panasonic KV-S2087 scanner, your scanned images will look better than your paper documents

When you have bad quality paper going through the Panasonic KV-S2087, just keep the Document Allignment box active and you should have perfectly alligned pages.

No more black holes on the side of the paper. Now you can cover them during scanning with the Hole Punch Removal option in the Panasonic KV-S2087 driver.

I preffer using Streaks Detection on documents with writing only, but the scanner here doesn’t feature it.

Extra Features

How good is the Panasonic KV-S2087 for crumpled documents? Just turn on the Feeding Paper by Hand and check for yourself!

Check if your scanner comes with free Barcode Detection . If not, buy this option or get another scanner who has it.

Automatic Separation of Documents is one of those features I really like playing with. Currently, for Automatic Separation of Documents I still find patch codes reliable.

When was the last time you bought a scanner without Optical Character Recognition . A long time ago for sure.

Field OCR is easy to use and is a standard feature with the Panasonic KV-S2087.
