Fujitsu fi-5950 Scan Sources
Issue
Which Fujitsu fi-5950 scan sources are certified for use with Kofax VRS and how can they be configured?
Cause
The Fujitsu fi-5950 scanner has up to two USB ports and up to two drivers that are certified for use with Kofax VRS 5.x. Matching the correct USB port to the correct driver and scan source are critical for properly configuring the scanner for use with Kofax VRS.
Solution
Hardware VRS (HVRS) Port
In the lower right corner, below the main power switch and power cable connection the fi-5950 scanner has a third-party card slot. Certain older fi-5950 scanners have a Hardware VRS board (also known as an HVRS or CGA board) installed in the third-party card slot. When the scanner is connected using the USB port on HVRS board, Windows Device Manager will recognize the scanner as aKofax
Fujitsu USB Device
and the Fujitsu fi-5950
scan source should be set as the Default scan source in the Kofax VRS Administration Console's Scanner Configuration screen. The Hardware VRS port uses proprietary drivers that are installed automatically by the Kofax VRS installer.
Native Port
In the center of the lower edge, to the left of the third party slot, is the fi-5950 scanner's native USB port. Newer fi-5950 scanners only have this single USB port. When the scanner is connected using its Native USB port, the Hardware VRS board is not utilized and Windows Device Manager recognizes the scanner as Fujitsu fi-5950dj
.
- If the Legacy ISIS driver is installed, the
Fujitsu fi-5950-ISIS
scan source should be selected as the Default scan source in the Kofax VRS Administration Console's Scanner Configuration screen. - Kofax VRS is not certified for use with the PaperStreamIP (ISIS) driver for the fi-5950.
The Fujitsu fi-5950-ISIS scan source does not qualify for Fujitsu OEM VRS 5.x Professional licensing.
When using an fi-5950 scanner equipped with an HVRS board with a Fujitsu OEM version of VRS, connect the scanner via the HVRS port and use the fi-5950 scan source to qualify for Fujitsu OEM VRS 5.x licensing.
