The book being scanned dates back to 1819

The thickness of this book exceeds 15 cm.

Moving scales are essential when scanning such sizes. Here we see the work of a specialist at an accelerated rate, but at normal speed, the time to scan or rather prepare the scanned sites is between seconds and even 3 minutes.

A quick scanner and professional employee is the key to success when scanning.

The SMA model SCAN MASTER model 3650 A0 Plus Book & Large Format Document  Scanner is the flagship model of the SMA Electronic Document GmbH  family of Book & Large Format Document  Scanners.

The SMA SCAN MASTER 0 plus model 3650 is an alternative to the well-known SMA SCAN MASTER 0 plus model 4838.

With a scan orientation like the SCAN MASTER 2 and SCAN MASTER 1 scanning from back to front and vice versa the  SCAN MASTER 0 plus model 3650 achieves a similar productivity to the SCAN MASTER 0 plus model 4838.

Moreover the  new SCAN MASTER 0 plus model 3650 is able to be upgraded to Robotic Scanning.

SMA ROBO SCAN 0 – the only fully automatic A0 book scanner in the world!

With a Scanning range of 14 x 1270 mm = 36 x 50 inches the SCAN MASTER 0 plus model 3650 scan is shorter & narrower than its successful sister SMA model VERSASCAN 4838.

This Double A0 scanner opens news doors as it can scan oversize originals in one go without the need of stitching serval scans together as with equipment with smaller scanner formats.

Further the SCAN MASTER 0 plus model 3650 offers outstanding productivity.

A high resolution scan of 600 X 1,200 PPI True Optical & 1,200 X 1,200 PPI Interpolated over the entire scanning range can be performed in about 24 seconds only @ 600 ppi in colour!
