Allied Images - Image Access Large Format Scanners

Image Access WideTEK scanners set new standards in quality and performance. These very fast high resolution colour scanners combine user friendly operation, production ready design and compact dimensions in a new class of scanners.

The scanner is connected directly to the users' network and is operated using any web browser. This gives it complete independence from the operating system so it can be used with MS Windows PC, Apple Macs, Unix, Linux, etc.

Scan2Net technology forms the basis of the of the scanning solutions from Image Access. Scanners operating with this technology require only a network connection and can be operated using any web browser, completely independent of the operating system.

Scan2Net technology utilises an HTML based user interface to enable

simple network integration of the scanner
real time display of the scanned images
easy installation of software updates
installation of software options

The operation is simple and intuitive. It begins with easy network integration of the scanner: no driver installation, no add-in cards. After an IP address has been assigned the scanner is ready for use by any user on the network.

The menu structure, divided into five major functional areas, will lead you quickly and easily to the desired result. Select the format and document structure, choose an output and colour mode, then press the start button and scan.

All parameters are configurable using only a few clear menu selections. For first time users, scanner operation becomes routine very quickly.

Scan2VGA	Connect a monitor to the scanner No client PC is required Operation of the scanner via touch screen Post-scan modification of the images - without rescanning, simply by changing scan parameters All WideTEK scanners with a touch screen support the function Scan2VGA. With this option, a VGA monitor can be directly connected to the scanner. The scanned image is displayed on the VGA monitor - a fully standalone solution without the need for a client PC. After scanning the user can modify scan parameters such as brightness, sharpness, gamma and contrast as well as the colour mode and can rotate the image or mirror it. The changed parameters in the scanned image are immediately displayed on the monitor. The operator does not need to rescan the document. All parameter changes will be saved for subsequent scans. This saves time considerably, especially if large scan quantities with the same scan parameters should be managed.
Scan2USB	Save scanned images directly to a USB memory device Use of the scanner without a client PC Scanner operation via touch screen Flexibility using mobile storage media Walk-up scanning is an important feature of all WideTEK scanners which have a touch screen. The operator can send scanned images from the scanner to a specific destination such as a network printer or any directory in the network. Or the user saves data on a USB stick inserted in the scanner. WideTEK scanners are fitted with a USB port to connect with an external storage medium (USB stick or USB drive). Using the software option Scan2USB the operator saves scanned images directly to the USB storage medium. No client PC is required - the user operates the scanner via the integrated touch screen.
Scan2PDF	Creates PDF files directly in the scanner Format PDF/A for long-term archived storage Metadata and key words for simple archiving and classification The PDF generator adds PDF/A output to the list of supported formats. After the software installation, the scanner internally creates the PDF/A files. The operator simply chooses PDF in the list of available formats in the menu area “Features”. The documents will automatically be saved in PDF/A format. This internationally accepted standard for long-term archiving guarantees preservation of the visual appearance of document images, independent of the device or software version or the art of reproduction. This transparent and versatile data format offers long lasting, non-editable and universal readability.
Scan2ICC	Individual ICC profile for every Scan2Net® scanner True color output for scanning and printing Clear and simple operation Cost efficient subscription Scan2ICC is an online tool for creating an individual ICC profile for a Scan2Net® scanner. This online service offers customers a simple and cost efficient alternative to procuring complicated and expensive third party software. An individual ICC profile can be generated online and stored for each individual Scan2Net® scanner. By downloading a small application from the Image Access Customer Service Portal, your individual ICC profile can be made available to the scanner in only a few simple steps. The operator can repeat the process as often as necessary (for example when ambient light characteristics have changed). Simply rescan the IT8 Scanner Calibration Target included in the package and the recalculated ICC profile can be saved to the scanner.
Scan2Edit	Direct export to a preferred graphics application without any additional driver software Modifies images without rescanning - simply by changing selected scan parameters Compatible with all common graphics applications Using the Scan2EDIT software, the operator exports the scanned images directly into the preferred image enhancement or graphics software applications (such as Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw, Omnipage, etc.). Click through the tabbed parameter pages to set all scanning parameters and preferences. It's just as simple to select the preferred application to which you will scan. Scanning of the source materials directly into the preferred graphics application saves user's time. Automatically saving documents in a predefined network location increases document throughput. Additionally, Scan2Edit enables users to modify the scanned image without rescanning, simply by changing selected scan parameters.
BatchScanWizard	Automated scanning of high volume source documents Easy configuration with templates Hotkeys - frequently used operations at the press of a key ScanTool - free choice of image sections Variable page splitting Time saving, high data throughput The Batch Scan Wizard enables the user to automate scanning large quantities of documents. The software expedites the data throughput and reduces operational tasks substantially. A batch is started either using the foot switch or the user interface of the Batch Scan Wizard. The operator creates jobs and configures templates. In addition to the standard scan parameters like brightness, contrast, color mode or file format; the Batch Scan Wizard offers further functions. ScanTool enables operators to predefine specific areas of a document to extract, scan and save them as separate images. A previously scanned document can be modified and the resulting image quality improved without having to rescan.
