NEWS Friday March 6, 10:14 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Scan-Optics, Inc. Scan-Optics, Inc. Announces Order from Capita Business Services, Ltd. MANCHESTER, Conn., March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Scan-Optics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SOCR - news), a leader in high volume document imaging systems, today announced the receipt of an order from Capita Business Services Limited for a Model 7800 scanner. The system will be used at the Department for Education and Employment in Darlington, England, for archiving teachers' pension documents from as far back as 1920. The Model 7800, incorporating the new 'Continuous Top Feeder' (CTF), was chosen over rival products for its ability to handle exceptionally poor quality documents of intermixed size and thickness, at high speed, while maintaining a high duty cycle. Richard C. Goyette, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Scan-Optics, said, ''Capita Document Services already uses a Scan Optics Series 9000 OCR scanner for a number of government applications, among them the written driving test papers for the Driving Standards Agency and the Driving and Vehicle Testing Agency, Northern Ireland. The purchase of the Model 7800 will enhance Capita's document processing capabilities and further strengthen the business alliance between the Capita Group and Scan Optics.'' Peter Studd, Director for Capita Business Services, Ltd., stated ''One of the primary reasons we selected the Model 7800 is its ability to process intermixed documents rapidly and reliably, particularly with the new CTF feature.'' Mr. Studd further added, ''We are pleased to be working with Scan- Optics again and look forward to developing and strengthening our marketing partnership.''
