Rochester, NY -- The latest version of KODAK Capture Pro Software
serves as a new standard for businesses to seamlessly integrate all
major brands of scanners through a single user interface and receive
improved efficiency from their document capture processes. KODAK
Capture Pro Software v. 1.1 is the first capture software available
from a scanner hardware manufacturer that is compatible with both KODAK
and third party scanners. Users of both KODAK and non-KODAK Scanners
can now manage virtually any scanning operation - from desktop to
production - with one intuitive graphic user interface.

"Growing businesses need a comprehensive, scalable document capture
solution that seamlessly integrates with their current scanner fleet
and maximizes the efficiency and productivity of their scanner
operations," said Robert Bijster, Worldwide Director, Software
Products, Document Imaging, Kodak's Graphic Communications Group.
"These latest enhancements to our Capture Pro Software even further
simplify the scanning process, helping businesses work smarter and
faster."

Improved functionality helps businesses lower the total cost of
ownership from training through operation. Added support for KODAK
DIGITAL SCIENCE 3500, 3510 and 3520 Model Scanners and continued
support for KODAK i800 Series Scanners enables businesses to increase
the longevity of existing hardware investments. In addition to third
party scanner support, new toolbar functionality has been added to make
the capture experience with KODAK Scanners even more productive than
the previous version.

The software is now also available in Russian, Turkish and Czech,
bringing the total to 15 languages, allowing businesses to work easily
and seamlessly across global markets.

A multimedia training program, available in most local languages,
provides out of the box set up that helps users quickly learn to use
Capture Pro's features, including Kodak's "scan-to" function that
allows for sending electronic documents to emails, PDFs and other
applications. Other automated capabilities, including batch monitoring,
thumbnail viewing and selective image display, streamline how captured
documents are organized, identified and enhanced.

"Capture Pro Software will provide user functionality for approximately
150 third party manufacturers' scanners with ISIS drivers and VRS. By
offering compatibility with no "per click" charges, we're providing
performance capabilities at a highly competitive cost," said Bijster.
"For many businesses that require a full end-to-end solution from
document capture to information management, our enhanced Capture Pro
Software offers expanded integration with many third party document
management systems, as well as the ability to image-enable vertical
applications. In addition, we offer streamlined integration to
MICROSOFT SHAREPOINT Server."

Enhanced KODAK Service and Support offers businesses a central,
reliable source for consultation on training, setup and application
development for Capture Pro Software users.

Service and Support also provides support for many of the third party
manufacturer scanners that can be used with Capture Pro software.
