ScannX Overhead Scanner 1800
The ScannX Overhead Scanner 1800 is a powerful, affordable, and user-friendly book scanning solution designed specifically for libraries, educational institutions, archives, and other high-volume scanning environments. It makes digitizing books and documents as simple as turning pages, while advanced image-processing technology automatically corrects common scanning challenges.
With sophisticated page-flattening technology, the Scanner 1800 converts curved book pages into flat, undistorted digital images. It also automatically removes thumb images, separates left and right pages, corrects page tilt, and applies smart cropping for clean, professional results.
The scanner offers multiple control options—including a touchscreen, hand button, and foot pedal—giving users flexibility and convenience. With scanning speeds of approximately 4 to 6 seconds per page, it can capture dual-facing book pages or A3-size documents quickly and efficiently.
