The special features of these CD ROMS are sound controls, notepad, progress tracking, simulated animations, graphics, voice over and narration text. Standard inbuilt templates help the user to adopt systematic documentation methodology.

Projex is useful for engineers, executives, project managers, architects and programmers to enhance their project management skills right from the project initiating, planning, executing, and controlling to project completion stage. Comprehensive theories and principles of project management are conveyed in a simulated environment.

MProT helps all users of Microsoft projects to learn Microsoft Project efficiently and systematically with a built-in simulated project. This comprehensive sample project is common throughout all the lessons and is designed to help use Microsoft Project, from the basic to the advanced features. There are planned tasks, durations, dependencies, resources, costs and so on which users can enter and track the project.

Kodak
i200 Series Scanners

Kodak’s commercial imaging group has launched its i200 Series scanners that are designed to handle more than 5,000 pages per day, and up to 50 pages per minute or 100 images per minute at 200 dpi in colour, grayscale or bitonal.

The i200 Series scanners offer breakthrough technology and contain a combination of capabilities and features unmatched in its class.

The i200 Series Scanners are Energy Star compliant and are delivered with both ISIS and TWAIN drivers and Kodak Capture Software Lite, which supports all innovative features of the scanners. A full version Kodal Capture Software, a high performance plug-and-play application with an array of indexing and batching features that can be used with a majority of popular document management and imaging systems will be available shortly.

Features:

• Kodak TriColor Plus CCD Sensor allows simultaneous output of high resolution black and white and colour scanning—all at the same speed as bitonal.
• Easy conversion from a sheet-feed only unit, to a sheet-feed with flatbed via the industry’s first-in-category, A3 size dockable flatbed accessory that easily snaps into the scanner for documents that need special handling. The detachable ‘docktable’ flatbed design saves workspace and can be stored away from the desktop when not in use.
• Electronic colour drop-out can remove irrelevant background colour (e.g, on business forms) to provide clear, sharp detail and smaller file sizes.
• Ultrasonic 3D multi-feed detection offers ultrasonic, calibration-free and multi-feed detection to eliminate lost documents.
