Software on computer | ABBYY FineReader 12 Adobe Acrobat Pro Adobe Creative Suite 6 Scan2Net Batch Scan Wizard software |
Maximum document size | 36 x 50 in. (A0) |
Resolution | TRUE optical resolution up to 600 dpi |
Effective pixels | 22,500 x [variable based on speed of scan] at 600 dpi |
Purpose | Bound items (e.g., books, journals, theses, ledgers, scrapbooks) |
Notes | The scan head is 36 in. long and moves across the entire length of the scan bed area (50 in. side). The effective pixels varies based on the speed of the scan head; the speed determines the secondary number (i.e., resolution). By slowing the scan head down, the scanner is able to achieve 600 x 1200 dpi Optical. This takes approx. 40 seconds. It is important to note that this is an OPTICAL resolution with NO interpolation (added pixels). Specifications for a 36 x 50 in. map: 300 x 300 dpi Raw TIFF = 463 mb 600 x 600 dpi Raw TIFF = 1.81 gb 600 x 1200 dpi Raw TIFF = 2.54 gb |
