Originally purchased a Kodak i2400 scanner and bought the Capture PRO software to go with it so we could auto index our scans with the barcodes on the sheets. Decided to upgrade to the i1405 so we could handle documents up to 11x17 (A3) in the feed tray. This was a significant jump in price (4x) but 45 PPM vs. a flatbed would have been worth it. Received the scanner, set it up and tried to scan my first batch using the Kodak Capture PRO software. Got an error message saying that my software license does not support this scanner.
Come to find out that Kodak has a sliding scale for licensing this software. Which is to say, the more expensive the scanner you buy, the more you have to pay to license the software! Buy a $600 scanner, pay $500 for the software. Buy a $2500 scanner, pay $1500 for the software. Same software. Only deploying to a single scanner. 3x the price.
So there''s nothing wrong the scanner it''s just the licensing policies of Kodak that I refuse to support.
