Networking Made Easy

The SCAN MASTER 1 is an IP based network scanner. Communication with the scanner takes place via a gigabit ethernet network card.

Fastest Scanning Speeds

The SCAN MASTER 1 was designed for applications where speed is critical. With a scan speed of 6 seconds (D-size, 300 dpi optical) it is the fastest scanner of its kind. Scan speed and interface technology (network) offers the highest possible productivity.

Highly Versatile

The SCAN MASTER 1 is capable of handling many different materials. The standard floor model is equipped with a motorized book cradle for originals up to 35 cm thickness. For larger books, an optional book cradle is available. A custom 120°-160° book cradle is an option for handling delicate books that can not be opened to a full 180°. For digitizing flat originals, the SCAN MASTER 1 can level all book cradle surfaces to create a D-size (25″ x36″) completely flat scanning surface. The unique pull out book cradle on the SCAN MASTER 1 makes it easy to handle large and heavy originals. Operation and adjustment of the book cradle happens conveniently via touch panel. The scan can be engaged by either a foot pedal, the touch panel, or the click of a mouse.
