Book scanner for more comfort and scans per day
Zeutschel OS 12002 Advanced Plus
Tübingen, February 2014 – When it comes to book scanners, the new OS 12002 Advanced Plus is an all-round talent. It has great functionality, making it suitable for both mass digitisation and scan-on-demand applications as well being able to efficiently digitise larger collections of files. Target groups are libraries, archives and scanning service providers. The colour book scanner processes formats up to A2+ and features the newly developed Advanced Plus book cradle, which automatises key digitisation processes, thereby significantly increasing productivity. Available from the 2nd quarter of 2014.
"The Zeutschel OS 12002 Advanced Plus raises workflow automation in book scanner use to a new level. Consequently, it is an interesting alternative to robotic book scanners for many applications in mass digitisation and is also much more cost-effective", says Jörg Vogler, Managing Director of Zeutschel GmbH.
Compared to the previous OS 12000 model, the new Zeutschel book scanner has a higher picture resolution of 400 ppi as well as a Gig E-interface for fast data transmission. It displays a high degree of flexibility in processing documents. Maximum book thickness under glass is 150 mm and 200 mm without glass.
Higher throughput, more effective light
The OS 12002 Advanced Plus boasts more scans per day with optimal ergonomics. This is achieved by dint of the scanner table and motor-driven book cradle, enabling an automatic operating mode and gentle treatment of the original documents.
The Advanced Plus book cradle also comes equipped with a self-opening glass plate, the book plate lowers automatically and contact pressure can also be electronically set to any of the five levels.
The scanner table is also user-friendly with plenty of leg room and areas to the left and right of the table which can be used to store books and also provide extra space for documents which are larger than the scan area.
Quality of digital images is key to further productive processing. In addition to the premium-quality camera, the new Zeutschel book scanner also features the next generation in LED lighting systems. As a result, there are a number of advantages for the user and the environment.
Thanks to the better spread of light and the light intensity, documents are illuminated better which has a positive impact on quality, particularly in cases of colour-fast scans. Since LEDs lights do not require the usual warm-up phase, the scanner is ready to use sooner. LEDs are highly efficient, leading to lower energy consumption and they also have a long operating life.
