ElarScan A2 “WU” model is a special modification of basic ElarScan book scanners with integrated touch-screen monitor for self scanning by visitors of reading halls of libraries and archives, any public access areas – without using mouse, keyboard, flattening glasses.The design of scanner optical system includes an RGB sensor enabling high-quality digitization with an option to autofocus and automatically adjust to originals of various thickness and shape.
The ElarScan А2-400 modification is equipped with a V-shaped manual book cradle with independent adjustment of the opening angles and an additional recess for the spine. The cradle can open at 90, 120 to 180 degrees and is designed to scan originals up to 15 cm thick and weighing up to 15 kg. All the main elements of the book cradle design are made of metal and have high resource of work at the maximum load. If it is necessary to align the originals in the V-shaped mode, it is possible to use an autonomous flattening glass (optional).
ElarScan A2-400 “WU” model is a special modification of basic ElarScan with integrated touch-screen monitor for no-mouse/keyboard self-scan by visitors of reading halls of libraries and archives, any public access areas. The scanner operation is extremely simple, convenient and does not require special skills from the user, allowing fast and efficient scanning, processing and transferring any amount of data. User only needs to place the document on the cradle (face up) and start scanning in any of the convenient ways: using the embedded control software, using scan start buttons on the housing or optional footswitch. The scan time is 0.5 seconds, and the full cycle is up to 4 seconds*, irrespective of the type and size of the originals.
ElarScan A2-KS is a standalone scanning device that can operate without connection to a workstation. The scanner can save the received images to external USB drives or to network folders due to the six built-in USB ports and the Gigabit Ethernet network interface.
ElarScan A2-400 is a fully autonomous device with feature-rich embedded software for mass scanning and subsequent processing of electronic images. Electronic images are saved directly to the scanner memory, an external USB drive, or immediately to the network (to an employee’s personal station, server or cloud storage).
The ease of operation and functional features of ElarScan A2-400 allow it to be used in a public area by non-professional users, as well as organize mass digitization of documents in streaming mode.
One of the most important advantages of ElarScan A2-400 is its price: the scanner is one of the most inexpensive A2+ format planetary scanners on the market with no consumables that should be changed during operation. Therefore, the scanner is extremely cost-effective with high degree of reliability during intensive operation, and a set of functional features, technical and operational characteristics and software capabilities in the basic configuration puts it several levels higher than its closest competitors, moving it to the category of professional scanners of a universal type.
ElarScan А2-400WU has a V-shaped book cradle with different placeholder opening modes and angles. This allows the scanner to digitize various types of originals in formats up to А2+: from a flat document to especially valuable and shabby books and bound documents up to 15 cm thick and weighing up to 15 kg, including incomplete or partial disclosure. The cradle has opening angles of 90, 120 and 180 degrees, at the same time the halves can be lifted separately and slid together and apart; when apart, there is a recess under the book spine in the cradle, which eliminates the risk of its damage.
The cradle has opening angles of 180 to 90 degrees, at the same time the halves can be lifted separately and slid together and apart; when apart, there is a recess under the book spine in the cradle, which eliminates the risk of damage. The cradle is also fit with a mechanism for automatic smooth adjustment by height. The cradle is controlled from the scanner panel.
The high quality, high color accuracy and absence of geometrical distortions of electronic images when scanning on ElarScan A2-KS results from two main factors: modern optical system and rich embedded software processing capabilities.
The embedded ScanImage software is a complete set of tools that control all stages of digitization: scanning, image processing, quality control and indexing of images. There is a possibility of administering and controlling the users’ work, there is a configurable file directory structure, and also control of the usage statistics.
The design of ElarScan А2-400WU scanner uses all the most advanced technologies and materials. The housing of the scanner is made of high-strength composite plastic fastened on metal base to impart overall strength and durability of the structure. This is especially important for scanning when the maximum protection from parasite vibrations is required.
The control panel of the ElarScan А2-400WU scanner is made with consideration of the many years of accumulated experience of book scanner production, the selected dust and moisture protection structure has LED indication of the operation modes. All the panel buttons have visual icons and symbols in English.
