Image Access Presents the World’s First Wide Format Duplex Scanner and the Technology Hit Bookeye 4
Image Access, specialty scanner manufacturer based in Wuppertal, Germany; will present their extended family of high performance wide format and planetary scanners at CeBIT 2010 in Hannover (Hall 3, Booth E20). Highlights at this year’s show will include the world’s first wide format duplex scanner, the WideTEK 36 DS as well as the innovative book scanner, Bookeye 4; developed particularly with the self-service application market in mind.
With the latest member of the Bookeye family, Image Access placed an emphasis on developing a scanner which is compact, easy to operate and competitively priced; to bring high end professional scanning to an even larger population of users. The efficient Bookeye 4 digitizes source material such as bound documents at high speeds in up to 600 dpi optical resolution and formats up to DIN A2.
Over 17 years of electronic, optical and mechanical engineering experience went into the creation and manufacture of the Bookeye 4. The clever mirror mechanism captures the document precisely from edge to edge, whether it is a flat document or a book open at an angle of 120 degrees.
The V-shaped book cradle was optimized to reduce the risk of damage to book spines and binding during digitization. The book cradle holds the open book at an angle of 120 degrees; enough to effectively scan the contents of a page, while gently preserving the original subject matter.
