In addition, eCopy's Connectors are also featured.
They are said to enable users to incorporate documents directly from Konica Minolta Bizhub machines in to business applications.
The application program interface (API)-level integration changes Sharescan in to a client of the enterprise application at the Bizhub.
That is also said to provide real-time interaction between the user interface at the Bizhub and the backend application, which improves document security and ease of use, whilst reducing the required amount of IT administration.
In addition, independent software vendors and corporate developers can add their applications to the list of software that supports eCopy scanning by developing a Connector to the eCopy platform, which will enable their users to scan documents directly to their software using a bizhub MFD, said Konica Minolta.
The Konica Minolta range of document imaging systems ranges from a claimed 13 prints per minute (ppm) multi-functional system, through to the Bizhub Pro 1050e production print system for high speed commercial print applications.
