Meet the Panasonic KV-N1028X

The Panasonic KV-N1028X is a snappy and super-accurate networkable desktop scanner, designed primarily for enterprise environments and best for heavy-duty document capture.

Overlooking the UI

Most scan jobs and configuration settings can be handled from the 5-inch, tablet-like touch screen. The icons and basic controls on the front panel are quite straightforward.

Automatic Document Feeder

The 75-sheet ADF lets you load fairly large scan jobs.

Scanning at Length

With the unlimited-length support, theoretically, you can scan long, never-ending pages.

Customizable Profiles

From the control panel, users and groups can pre-configure their own desktop and workflow profiles.
