NEW KODAK, DYMO OFFERING SOLVES DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT NEEDS OF NORTH AMERICAN SMALL, MEDIUM-SIZED BUSINESS

Kodak ScanMate i1120 Desktop Scanner / DYMO File™ Software Package Offers Customers an Affordable, All-in-One-Box Solution to Address Paper Burden

STAMFORD, Conn., March 4, 2008 – Small- to medium-sized businesses – a market overlooked by traditional document management software developers, whose solutions frequently do not address their specific business needs – can now get out from under the burden of paper more easily and affordably than ever before with DYMO File™ LT software, which is now available at no cost with Kodak’s new ScanMate i1120 desktop scanner.

DYMO File™ software was designed exclusively to process stacks of paper at a time.  Featuring DYMOCode™ Technology, a patent-pending barcode scanning and filing system, DYMO File™ enables businesses to reap the benefits of a digital office quickly and easily.

"DYMO File™ fills a need among small- and medium-sized businesses, and is a powerful, easy-to-use package that delivers a vastly improved scanning experience,” says Roger Markham, Marketing Manager, Distributed Capture, Document Imaging, Graphic Communications Group, Eastman Kodak Company.  “We view DYMO File™ as a superior solution for converting documents from paper to digital, and its use with the new ScanMate only makes our scanner a stronger market offering for identifying and categorizing documents right at the point of capture.”

“Kodak understands that customers want products that deliver the best results at an affordable price, and including DYMO File™ with the Kodak ScanMate puts the needs of the customer first,” said Pete Canalichio, General Manager of DYMO’s Analog to Digital Platform. “The ScanMate / DYMO File™ pairing marks a resounding endorsement of our software’s value.  Together, we are enabling a previously neglected group of customers to make document management a part of their businesses’ daily operations without breaking the bank.”

Just as DYMO File™ is quickly redefining what customers expect from the document management software category, the new Kodak ScanMate offers Kodak’s market-leading “smart touch” features for intuitive operation and Perfect Page image enhancement technology that can make scanned images look better than originals in a compact, fast, user-friendly document scanner that easily fits on a desk.

Kodak ScanMate i1120 scanner purchasers in North America can take advantage of DYMO File™ Software LT Edition with a free download of the software available at www.Kodak.com/go/ScanMate DYMO File™ LT scans up to 200 pages per month. Users with heavier scanning needs can increase the amount of available page scans per month by purchasing DYMO File™ Office (5000 pages/month) or DYMO File™ Professional (unlimited scanning).

DYMO File™ software allows users to scan and file many documents at one time in three simple steps:

Choose filing options for your document - Specify the file name, location and file type (such as PDF, Microsoft® Word) using the easy-to-use DYMO File™ interface.  A unique barcode is then automatically created for the document.

Print the barcode - Print the barcode on small self-adhesive labels from a DYMO® LabelWriter® printer for an optimal user experience.  Apply the barcode to the document, or the first page of a multi-page document.  Alternatively, barcodes can be printed on plain paper to serve as a cover sheet. This process of creating files and barcodes continues for the entire stack of documents – all from the user’s desktop.

Scan all documents – DYMO File™ does the rest - Place the stack of barcoded documents in the scanner’s automatic document feeder and scan all at once.  DYMOCode™ Technology reads each barcode and automatically files each document with the name, file type and in the folder specified by the user in step one. Because DYMO File™ software performs the filing function automatically, the user can simply leave the stack to scan and DYMO File™ does the rest.
