  1. Competitive Analysis Report Canon imageFORMULA DR-M160 vs. Fujitsu fi-6130, fi-6140

  2. Specifications at a Glance Advantages are highlighted in red.

  3. Specifications Continued… Advantages are highlighted in red.

  4. Faster Tested Scan Speeds In identical BLI laboratory tests, the imageFORMULA DR-M160 proved to be up to 45% faster than the fi-6130 and up to 3% faster than the fi-6140 when scanning multi-page documents in black-and-white mode at 200 dpi. 70 Pages per minute 63.09 63.22 60 62.20 61.21 50 43.53 43.75 40 30 Canon 20 fi-6130 10 fi-6140 0 Control Panel Driver

  5. Faster Tested Scan Speeds In identical BLI laboratory tests, the imageFORMULA DR-M160 proved to be up to 101% faster than the fi-6130 and up to 54% faster than the fi-6140 when scanning multi-page documents in color mode at 200 dpi. Pages per minute Canon fi-6130 fi-6140

  6. Less Slowdown When Resolution Increases In identical BLI laboratory tests, the imageFORMULA DR-M160 demonstrated virtually no slowdown when increasing the resolution to 300 dpi in black-and-white mode—a significant productivity boost over the Fujitsu fi-6130 and fi-6140, which slow down by about 28% and 32%, respectively. 32.00% 32.53% 32.02% Percent Difference 28.00% 28.40% 27.66% 24.00% 20.00% 16.00% 12.00% Canon 8.00% fi-6130 4.00% fi-6140 0.16% 0.09% 0.00% Control Panel Driver

  7. Lower Total Cost of Ownership The Canon imageFORMULA DR-M160 costs* 1.2% less per scan than the Fujitsu fi-6130 and 24.3% less per scan than the fi-6140. Canon fi-6130 fi-6140 * Based on Canon’s total cost of ownership calculation for four years, which estimates a daily scan volume of 4,000 sheets for each device.

  8. Smaller Files Use Less Bandwidth In similar lab tests, the imageFORMULA DR-M160 created smaller file sizes than the fi-6130 and fi-6140 for the majority of documents tested—a critical issue for IT professionals. BLI’s Lab Test Report on the imageFORMULA DR-M160 gave it an overall rating of “VERY GOOD” for the file size section when compared with the competition, in contrast to Fujitsu’s ratings of “GOOD,” for both devices, which is one grade lower.

  10. Easier Scan Profile Creation Procedure The Canon imageFORMULA DR-M160 requires significantly fewer steps to create scan profiles than the Fujitsu models, which don’t automatically link the scan profiles to the control panel. Users of the Fujitsu scanners must first program each scan profile and then individually link them to the control panel via a separate program.

  12. More Reliable The imageFORMULA DR-M160 scanned 35,000 pages during BLI’s durability tests with only two misfeeds, for a misfeed rate of one per 17,500 pages—a misfeed rate that’s more than double those of the Fujitsu models. A higher misfeed rate means less user intervention and more productivity.

  13. Easier Setup Procedures At 41 mouse clicks, the Canon imageFORMULA DR-M160 requires significantly fewer steps to install bundled software (including Kofax VRS) than the Fujitsu models. Clicks to Install Per-Disc 41 Canon fi-6130 fi-6140

  14. Simple Double-Feed Release Procedure The Canon imageFORMULA DR-M160 offers a Double-Feed Release (DFR) hard key on the control panel, which allows users to continue scanning at the touch of a button if a double-feed is detected. This comes in handy when users wish to scan documents with sticky notes, or other attached objects that may be mistaken for a double-feed. Users of the fi-6130 and fi-6140 must rescan mistaken double-feeds. Once the scanner detects a double-feed, users must eject the document by pressing the Send to button, return it to the ADF, press the Function button once to disable double-feed detection, and then rescan.

  15. Other Competitive Advantages Does the scanner offer…

  16. Advantages of the fi-6130 And examples of how to combat them 1. “The imageFORMULA DR-M160 slows down significantly more than the fi-6130 when scanning in color mode after increasing the resolution to 300 dpi.” Combat with… Slowdown aside, the Canon imageFORMULA DR-M160 still outperformed the fi-6130. While the Canon’s speed was 43 ppm in color mode at 300 dpi, the fi-6130 scanned at a speed of 31 ppm in color mode at 300 dpi.

  17. Advantages of the fi-6130 And examples of how to combat them 2. “The Fujitsu fi-6130 offers a wider resolution range than the DR-M160, contributing to better image quality results.” Combat with… For most documents, 300 dpi should be sufficient enough to accurately scan an image, with 600 dpi reserved for images that will be enlarged. So the need to scan anything beyond 600 dpi is most likely not necessary. Although some people might scan at resolutions lower than 150 dpi to reduce file size. But because the Canon model offers significantly reduced files sizes in the majority of tests performed, offering a resolution rate lower than the standard 150 dpi is not necessary.

  18. Advantages of the fi-6130 And examples of how to combat them 3. “The Fujitsu fi-6130 scans longer documents than the DR-M160.” Combat with… Scanning long documents is important for certain vertical markets, such as medical offices that often scan hard copy EKG strips. But if a single EKG strip has an average length of 11", both devices will have to stop after 10 strips if the operator did not wish for that last strip to be cut off. For most applications, the two-inch difference in maximum scan length won’t be enough to affect a customer’s scan operation.

  19. Advantages of the fi-6130 And examples of how to combat them 4. “The Fujitsu fi-6130 produces smaller file sizes in black-and-white mode than the DR-M160.” Combat with… File sizes are tested using the device’s default scan settings. So while it is true that the default settings create smaller black-and-white files for the fi-6130 than for the Canon model, users have the option of increasing the compression level via the scan utility, which would reduce file size.

  20. Advantages of the fi-6140 And examples of how to combat them 1. “The imageFORMULA DR-M160 slows down significantly more than the fi-6140 when scanning in color mode after increasing the scan resolution to 300 dpi.” Combat with… Slowdown aside, the Canon imageFORMULA DR-M160 still outperformed the fi-6140. While the Canon’s speed was 43 ppm in color mode at 300 dpi, the fi-6140 scanned at speeds of 39 to 40 ppm in color mode at 300 dpi.

  24. In summation The Canon imageFORMULA DR-M160’s advantages over the Fujitsu fi-6130 and fi-6140 include: • Faster tested scan speeds* • Lower TCO** • Handles a wider range of paper weights • Higher recommended daily scan volume • More reliable • Easier setup procedures • Smaller file sizes in the majority of tests • Double-Feed Release button • Easier profile creation procedures • A host of advanced features and functionality • Productivity and ratings data quoted in this report is from BLI Lab Testing on both the Canon imageFORMULA DR-M160 and the Fujitsu fi-6130 and fi-6140. • ** Based on Canon’s total cost of ownership calculation for four years, which estimates a daily scan volume of 4,000 sheets for each device.
