Panasonic KV-N1058X Datasheet Explained

The Panasonic KV-N1058X has a scanning area of 8.27 in x 11.69 in.

A scanner such as the Panasonic KV-N1058X, reaches a resolution of 600.

The sensor used in this equipment is a CIS chip.

To make sure data goes through quickly, such a scanning equipment is connected using USB 3.1, Ethernet LAN, WiFi.

Sheets per minute in simplex mode will be aproximately 70.

The duplex mode achieves 140 Images per minute in duplex mode for this scanner.

Scanning 6,000 pages is what the manufacturers claims to this scanners daily Duty cycle.

The Panasonic KV-N1058X works with Twain and ISIS scanning interface.

If you need to replace consumables, then most likely they have gone through about 600.000 sheets.

Specs for paper handling

The Overlap detection (Ultrasonic sensor), Length detection will take care of the Multifeed Detection, and prevent the feeding of 2 pages at the same time.

If you are wondering what the ADF size is, well we can tell you that it is around 100.

The maximum Document Weight that the Panasonic KV-N1058X can process is around 5 to 110 lb..

Digitizing 100 in long documents is easy with the Panasonic KV-N1058X, given that it uses a Long Document Scanning Mode feature.

Panasonic KV-N1058X accesories unboxing

The scanner has a dimmension of 12 x 9 x 9 inches.

The Panasonic KV-N1058X weighs about 8.8 lbs. This weight doesn’t include any parts that can be applied to the device.

In regards to the bundled scanning applications, the Panasonic KV-N1058X has the CD-ROM (Device Driver, ISIS driver software, TWAIN driver software, User Utility, Scan Button Setting Tool, Image Capture Plus with the New OCR Engine, Operation manual, Control sheet (PDF)).

Features for Productivity

For mixed size documents, I usually set maximum size and let the Automtic Page Size Detection do its job.

You should use the Auto Image Rotate for non specific orientation. The Panasonic KV-N1058X has such a setting and you can set it up in the driver.

One of the productivity features that we love is Auto Color . This Panasonic KV-N1058X scanner works with such a setting.

I can’t imagine running a scanner without the Blank document removal . This setting is mandatory on just about any machine and it is available on the Panasonic KV-N1058X.

As you’d imagine, the Dual stream scanning is featured in the Panasonic KV-N1058X driver settings. It can be a life saver some of the times.

Quality of images

While the Background Cleaning works great with most documents, you should double check documents with images and pictures.

I preffer using the Image Edge Fill setting for text documents. I would not use it for photos though

One of the images processing functions I like is the Deskew document feature. Use it and you will not be dissapointed.

Black dots on the side of the document? Tick the Correct Punched Holes box and your Panasonic KV-N1058X scanner will fill them automatically.

I preffer using Streaks Detection on typed pages, but the Panasonic KV-N1058X does not have this option.

Extra Features

Sometimes I prefer enabling the Manual Feed Mode from the driver, to make sure the Panasonic KV-N1058X will process older documents safely.

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

Are you currently using the Auto Document Separation ? I really encourage you to try Auto Document Separation with QR codes.

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

For predefined forms I preffer the OCR Predefined Zone , just like with other standardized documents.
