Information Technology - IT / Network Administration
The Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 Aperture Card microfilm scanning solution provides an aperture card scanner that’s easy to integrate into any network environment.
Integration into a CAD environment
The Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 Aperture Card microfilm scanning solution provides an aperture card scanner that supports high levels of quality in supporting a design process environment.
Printer integration
A unique Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 Aperture Card microfilm scanning solution feature, Digital Microfilm Printing (DMP) includes the ability to integrate the Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 with any Microsoft Windows Compatible printers. Print files are sent directly from the scanner to increase output efficiency. With the use of any Microsoft Windows Compatible printer e.g. any printer with the capability to print from A4 = 210 x 297 mm in size up to A0 = 841 × 1189 mm paper size professional production printers, the client is guaranteed optimal quality and reliability. While the Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 Aperture Card microfilm scanning solution is scanning aperture cards, the printer can process and print simultaneously thus ensuring that output is produced quickly without the need to stop the scanning process.
Quality, flexibility, and ease of use
The Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 Aperture Card microfilm scanning solution enables the creation of quality digital images while offering incredible flexibility and ease of use through job mode options, Hollerith functionality, and log file generation.
Quality
Microfilm scanning occurs at high resolutions of up to 400 dots per inch - dpi regardless of image size. The Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 Aperture Card microfilm scanning solutions, Image Logic technology processes the scanned image, automatically addresses optical non-uniformities, zooms and frames images into the chosen resolution and appropriate magnification, and automatically cleans up the images through a variety of error diffusion techniques.
The Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 Aperture Card microfilm scanning solution ensures that crisp clean images with faithful image reproduction are consistently created with the use of the following advanced imaging processes:
- Background compensation with line-for-line measurements ensures consistent clean backgrounds and quality output even with mixed batches.
- Dividing scanned images into 256 gray levels—not simply black and white, improves definition.
- Special filtering softens shaded areas, enhances fine lines and weak images.
- Error diffusion techniques deliver even gray levels and maintain the maximum number of pixels required for thin line printing.
Auto cleanup
The Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 Aperture Card microfilm scanning solution offers incredible flexibility and accuracy in digital conversion of high and low quality microfilm originals. The operation mode can be selected to optimise the image quality based on the types of aperture cards being processed.
- Good quality aperture cards need less image processing and easily can be processed in the high-speed mode for maximum productivity.
- Poor resolution aperture cards require the optimum quality mode. This can rejuvenate images from old, low contrast microfilms. Choosing this mode for batch processing applications involving aperture cards of different quality to ensures consistent, high quality results and improved efficiency, and avoids re-scanning.
Integrated Hollerith Punch Reader
Working with aperture cards from a variety of sources can be difficult to manage. If the aperture cards are punched with Hollerith punched index data, the Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 Aperture Card microfilm scanning solution can read this information and automatically set itself up for scanning that particular aperture card. No operator intervention is required for various aperture card types in a batch e.g. reductions, or different indexing methods are not an issue as the Integrated Hollerith Punch Reader performs intellectual identification aspect of this task automatically.
Log file generation
The Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 Aperture Card microfilm scanning solution offers flexibility with quality checks and status review to simplify job administration. During automatic scan-to-file processing of aperture card batches, you can periodically check quality after each preset number of scans. If you wish to run continuous processing, the Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 Aperture Card microfilm scanning solution creates a log file of image, identification, and data compiled for each aperture card. This can be helpful when reviewing the status of digital conversion or cost allocating for scanning and printing. Aperture cards rejected for damage or illegibility are automatically registered in a reject file for maximum production efficiency, improving reliability, prevent production holdups, and maintain orderly inventory files.
Flexibility
The Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 Aperture Card microfilm scanning solution offers additional features to ensure customers process aperture cards effectively for their environment. With the Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 Aperture Card microfilm scanning solution, you have the option to rotate images from portrait to landscape as well as integrate third party software to control and set up imaging, drawing size and file name parameters. Further, with the addition of optional software, the Wicks & Wilson Model C-250 Aperture Card microfilm scanning solution can be integrated with an archival repository or Digital Microfilm Printing (DMP) system.
