Book Scanners
Large format book scanners are a great solution for digitizing bound books. No need to destroy your rare books to obtain a satisfactory book scan. Book scanners allow the operator to digitize sensitive documents without the need to damage treasured books and documents. There is no limit to the thickness of a document, and the document is not fed through the scanner so fragile items like newspaper or historic documents will not be put at risk during the scan operation. Another advantage of book scanners is that they have a very wide color gamut and high optical resolution, perfect for scanning photos, graphic arts, and other colorful documents.

In its fifth generation, the Bookeye® 5 V2 offers maximum efficiency throughout the entire scanning process. Completely revised and updated to adapt to technological and environmental standards, Bookeye® 5 V2 features a high resolution, low noise CCD scanner camera and an additional matrix camera for live previews. The Bookeye® 5 V2 is available in three models:
BASIC: This entry level model offers the same scanning functionality and speed as the other levels at the lowest possible cost. Upgrades to the other models are options.
KIOSK: This model includes all of the features of the Basic model plus the Scan2Pad® application for scanning and operation with any mobile device through the WiFi hotspot.
PROFESSIONAL: Now your talking, this model includes all of the features of the Basic model, but has a higher resolution of 600 dpi and client interface for 3rd party software to meet the highest quality standards.
The unique book cradles allows users to digitize books and documents by either laying them flat on the scanning bed at 180°or in the V-cradle, at an angle of 120° for gentle, protective handling of the source material. The two sides of the cradle are magnetically coupled so that the book fold can be moved easily in the center for optimal scan results.
Key Features
