After you’ve loaded the tray up, all you need to do is right click the i1220 icon in the system tray and pick an option – there are straight-to-jpg or PDF and copy to printer options to choose from – and off it goes. Even my gran could use it, and she’s not exactly what you’d call a silver surfer. Perhaps the most impressive thing about the i1220, however, is its ease of use. For really thick media, the body of the scanner flips back to an almost horizontal position so your card won’t snag on the desk when it emerges onto the output tray. That means you can scan everything from a stack of business cards to a sheaf of those flimsy delivery dockets that seem to be printed on tracing paper. In fact you can chuck pretty much anything bar bog paper at it and it will cope fine (according to the spec sheet it can feed 34g/m2 to 413g/m2). The i1220 is also extremely versatile in the paper types it can handle. Scanning at 600dpi the same 34 page document took 10 minutes 50 seconds to scan. Seriously impressive, though it’s a lot slower at higher a resolution. Even more impressively, this device scans both sides of your documents simultaneously giving a total potential scanning speed of over 64 pages a minute.
In fact I managed to get it to scan quicker, with 34 pages summarily dispatched in 58 seconds at 300dpi. Officially, Kodak claims a scan speed of up to 30 pages per minute in colour and I would not disagree with this. Feed the i1220 a stack of A4 documents and it will devour them in a matter of seconds. If you’ve ever tried to digitise a multi-page document, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about here. The i1220 is the Glenn McGrath of the scanner world – it may not be the most exciting or glitzy of devices, but its one-track-mind, business oriented approach is deceptively effective and one that really delivers the goods.įor starters this device can scan a lot of stuff, really quickly. But make no mistake, this is no lightweight consumer device.
But what’s this, it doesn’t print? It doesn’t fax? It doesn’t make the perfect cappuccino? Why on earth would you want to clutter your desk with such a limited device?Īdmittedly it’s a bit of a one trick pony compared to the plethora of all-singing, all-dancing multifunction devices on the market at the moment. Its compact i1220 scanner is aimed turning documents from physical to electronic format.
Kodak is one company that seems to be fighting the good fight for the seemingly lost cause of the paperless office. Email actually generates more waste paper as office workers needlessly print emails out to read them, while the low cost of printing in general means that companies can afford to bury us all in mountains of junk mail.

The reality of the modern PC and Windows-equipped office is very different. Electronic communications would see the death of letter writing, postmen would all lose their jobs and there would be a lot less litter. Back in the days when we were all naïve about technology and the benefits it would bring, there was a band of crazy folk going about telling us that the end of paper was nigh.
