N2040 and N2050 network desktop scanners bring standardised, secure document capture to distributed enterprises
Kodak Alaris has introduced the KODAK N2000 Series, a network-ready desktop scanning platform designed to address a growing challenge for distributed organisations: maintaining consistent document capture across branches, counters and workstations.
Available in the N2040 and N2050 models, delivering up to 40 and 50 pages per minute respectively, the scanners combine onboard Gigabit Ethernet with Kodak Alaris’ image-processing and paper-handling technologies. The objective is less about increasing scanning capacity at an individual workstation and more about establishing a common capture standard across an enterprise.
“When every site captures differently, the cost shows up later as rework, delays, and audit findings. The N2000 Series gives them one capture standard they can deploy everywhere and defend when it counts,” said Megan Bevilacqua, Director of Global Product Management & Channel Operations, Kodak Alaris.

That standardisation has implications beyond document processing. In sectors such as banking, healthcare, insurance, government and legal services, inconsistent image quality, manual workarounds and varying configurations can affect downstream workflows and create additional operational and compliance risks.
The N2000 Series uses Perfect Page image processing, Dual-Light Illumination and SurePath paper handling to support a range of originals, while ultrasonic multi-feed detection is designed to reduce double-feeds and rescanning. Network EasySetup enables standardised configuration across multiple devices, while security features include Secure Boot, signed firmware, encrypted connections, locked firmware and digital stamping with audit logs.
The scanners also support TWAIN, ISIS and WIA drivers across Windows, Windows Server and Linux Ubuntu. KODAK Capture Pro LE is included, allowing organisations to begin capturing without procuring an additio
