STUTTGART, Germany, March 1, 2010 - Kodak today announced the KODAK i4000 Series Scanners, designed to help
end users, especially those in small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs),
cost-effectively automate document capture and management. The new capture
platform of the i4000 Series Scanners combines walk-up ease of use, one touch
scanning, comprehensive software capabilities and simplified integration
within new or existing document management processes, for a complete
information management solution.

The KODAK i4200 Scanner and KODAK i4600 Scanner will be available for
demonstration with the new KODAK Capture Pro Software, v 2.5, at CeBIT, Stand
E30 Hall 3 from March 2-6 in Hannover, Germany. KODAK Capture Pro Software, v
2.5, provides users Microsoft Windows 7 compatibility along with improvements
to OCR capability, auto import and indexing to name a few.

The i4000 Series Scanners' compact, ergonomic design makes it easier for
average end users to effectively integrate document capture into new and
existing information-driven business processes. Kodak's Smart Touch
functionality allows end users to send digital documents to common
destinations including e-mail, desktop applications, shared file locations
and MICROSOFT SHAREPOINT Server. The i4000 Series Scanners also provide
flexible, dual-support for Kodak's Perfect Page Image Processing Technology
or Kofax VRS Software.

"With so many SMBs still dependent on paper documents, the easy-to-use
architecture of the i4000 Series Scanners represents a strategic first-step
for any business working to remain competitive in the information economy",
said Tony Barbeau, General Manager, Document Imaging, Kodak's Business
Solutions and Services Group.

The i4200 Scanner and i4600 Scanner serve as true production-level entry
points, able to process images of 200 dots per inch (dpi) bi-tonal scanning
quality at rated speeds of 100 pages per minute (ppm) and 120 ppm
respectively. The i4000 Series is also the only scanner series in its class
to offer a c-shape transport with additional straight-through paper path,
500-sheet feeder, and allow field speed and feature upgrades to adjust for
growing volumes of documents and continuous enhancement of the solution.

A feature offered for the first time on a Kodak scanner is Sure Stack.
This enables users to scan mixed documents at high speed whilst still keeping
them neatly sorted in the output tray, helping to significantly improving
post scanning processes.

As a pilot installation confirms: "The KODAK i4600 Scanner has proven to
be an extremely easy to use production scanner for both experienced operators
and occasional users. It streamlines everything, even paper preparation,
providing us with efficiency gains." Said John Cauvel from Lifetime
Assistance Inc. "A lot of our work entails capturing multiple page non carbon
or popularly called NCR forms… These thin multi-page documents arrive in
various states of readability and processability. The scanner with its
associated image enhancement and paper transport has handled these without
errors in capturing the information accurately and without the need to rescan
due to misfeeds." The KODAK i4000 Series Scanners will be available for
shipping in April 2010. The i4200 Scanner will be priced at 9,995 Euros, and
the i4600 Scanner will be offered at 13,995 Euros. For more information,
