Library and Education

Libraries and training centres share a requirement that retail does not have: capturing bound material without damaging it, and doing it fast enough that a queue does not form behind the desk.

What we hear

The four complaints behind most enquiries

Sheet-fed scanners cannot take bound books without breaking the spine.
Image-only digitisation produces an archive that cannot be searched.
Self-service points need a reader that works without staff intervention.
Teaching cameras and document scanners are usually bought twice.

Questions

Buying for library and education

Which model do you recommend first for library and education?

Start with the DC1013 A3 Document Scanner and Visual Presenter. It is the model on this page that covers the widest part of the workflow; the other three fill positions around it.

Can you supply library and education hardware under our own brand?

Yes. OEM and ODM are supported, and for some products the software can be customised as well as the hardware. Mini and mix orders are accepted so a pilot can validate the specification first.

What do you need from us to quote for library and education?

A photograph or sample of the codes or documents being read, the temperature range at the position, the host operating system, and the quantity. That is enough to name a model and price it.
