USING EASY TECHNOLOGY TO DECLUTTER THE OFFICE
PFU (EMEA)’s latest offer – buy a scanner and get a shredder free – is ideal for businesses that are looking to take steps to digitalise their office and declutter it without compromising on security.

ecluttering has become something of a fashion recently – from making stars of people such as Marie Kondo to primetime TV shows such as BBC1’s Sort Your Life Out – and it is just as important in the office as it is the home.
It is all too easy for workplaces to let documentation build up, be filed haphazardly or not managed properly – many businesses, especially growing SMEs, are extremely busy with staff juggling multiple responsibilities. But this can mean that, when needed, important paperwork is not to hand – and panic ensues, for example managing tax returns.
But it doesn’t have to be that way, there are many technological solutions that can help to declutter offices and keep everything that is needed secure on cloud-based servers, and ensure old documents are destroyed securely.
Indeed, the latest offer from PFU (EMEA) can help businesses to declutter for a small cost. Until the end of March, all customers that purchase a ScanSnap iX1600 or ScanSnap iX1400 can claim a free Fellowes Powershred LX45 CrossCut Shredder.
These complimentary products can help to declutter any workspace – in the office or at home – and increase efficiency. All documents can be scanned and then converted to digital documents and stored securely on computers or in the cloud. Then, documents that are no longer needed can be securely disposed of through shredding.
They are also perfect for those looking to digitalise their office workings. All three products are very simple to use, with one-touch operation, perfect whether you are a tech novice or expert.
Many businesses are looking to digitalise to improve their efficiency – as it saves time in processing documents, storing them and retrieving them afterwards. As more businesses take advantage of the efficiencies it will bring, other businesses will need to do likewise to ensure they are not left behind.
ABOUT THE PRODUCTS
The ScanSnap iX1600 and iX1400 are designed to make life easier for users, and create a smarter way to work from home. From one-touch scanning to advanced features for small teams, these personal scanners make it easy for users to improve productivity, whether their priority is simplicity or high performance.
With a speed of 40 pages per minute, the ScanSnap iX1600 gives time back to its users by automating essential tasks through predefined profile and task buttons on a 4.3-inch colour coded LCD touchscreen. With one touch, this model automatically scans, recognises and classifies up to four different document types (documents, receipts, business cards and photos) and save them each to a preferred
destination including the cloud. It is Wi-Fi enabled, which means the device can scan anywhere with a wireless network.
Alternatively, the ScanSnap iX1400 offers advanced yet accessible technology that anyone can use. The iX1400 one button device offers the easiest way to scan, save and share at 40 pages per minute. Users just need to press the blue button to scan, then select from the Quick Menu what they want to do next – whether that’s creating searchable PDFs, or editable files in applications they know and use, such as Word, PowerPoint or Excel. USB connection means the iX1400 is ready to scan quickly with no complex settings to configure. Specialist features like the receipt guide make scanning easy, and users need not worry about scanning small or different types of documents separately.
In addition, ScanSnap Home software is included as standard with the iX1600 and iX1400, enabling users to easily manage, draft, edit and use scanned data. Documents can be automatically recognised and grouped according to document type, while folders, tags and keywords mean users can search and find information quickly and easily.
Meanwhile Fellowes’ Powershred LX45 Cross-Cut Shredder is ideal for use in the home and office. It shreds eight sheets per pass into 4x37mm cross-cut particles (DIN Level P-4), which means that it cannot be put back together. The Powershred LX45 can shred continuously for up to six minutes, with only a 20-minute cool-down needed afterwards and has a 17L bin with lift off head. It also shreds staples, paper clips and credit cards. Finally, for added safety protection the Powershred comes with a patented safety lock that disables the shredder and prevents accidental activation – perfect for those using it in a home office where children or pets may encounter it.
