1	fi-590PRF (Pre Imprinter)	PA03450-D700	The imprinter option enables users to print information on original documents for document management purposes. While the FI-590PRF (pre imprinter) prints information on the front of documents prior to scanning, the FI-590PRB (post imprinter) prints information of the back of the original documents after they have been scanned. Although both the FI-590PRF and the FI-590PRB may be attached to the same scanner unit, both imprinters cannot be used simultaneously.
