Flatbed Book Scanner Plustek 6mm Edge Design

Description

Product Overview

Plustek’s flatbed book scanner is engineered for precise, damage‑free digitization of bound materials. Its patented SEE (Shadow Elimination Element) technology employs a special 6 mm book‑edge design that lifts the spine and eliminates shadows, ensuring every line of text is captured clearly. The scanner supports 300 dpi resolution and completes an A4 or Letter‑size color, grayscale, or black‑and‑white scan in just 7 seconds. Integrated eBookScan software for Windows offers instant preview, automatic cropping, and deskew functions, allowing users to save files directly into organized folders in multiple formats.

The compact footprint (18 × 4 × 11 in) fits comfortably on most desks, and the 7.6‑lb weight provides stability during operation.

FAQ

Can the scanner handle delicate antique books?

What file formats does eBookScan export?

The software can save scans as PDF, JPEG, TIFF, and PNG, allowing flexibility for archiving or sharing.

Is the scanner compatible with Mac computers?

The bundled eBookScan software is Windows‑only, but the device works with Mac via standard TWAIN drivers for basic scanning functions.

How does auto‑crop and deskew improve workflow?

After each scan, the software automatically detects page edges, removes excess background, and straightens tilted pages, delivering ready‑to‑use images without manual editing.

What is the warranty period?

Plustek provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and hardware failures.
