Manual Book Scanners


Whether you need a manual scanner for smaller books or are looking for something that can handle larger, thicker books with ease, we have the perfect solution for you.

A0 Book Scanner SCAN MASTER 0 4838

A0 BOOK SCANNER WITH A NEW DESIGN


The SCAN MASTER 0 4838 A0 book scanner is an alternative to the well-known SCAN MASTER 0 3650. Adopting a scanning orientation similar to the SCAN MASTER 2 and SCAN MASTER 1, which scans from the back to the front and vice versa, it surpasses the productivity of the SCAN MASTER 0 3650. Furthermore, the SCAN MASTER 0 4838 can be upgraded to robotic scanning. With a standard, motorised book cradle that extends up to 35 cm, it is designed to accommodate larger objects. If you’re looking to scan even bigger items, an optional motorised 50 cm book cradle is readily available.

  • Advantages:

    • Scanning range above A0
    • Very high optical resolution
    • Extremely high scanning speed
    • Free of IR and UV radiation
    • Virtual 3D technology (V3D)
    • Bidirectional scanning
    • Motorised heavy-duty book cradle
    • Prime and consistent scanning results independent from ambient light
  • Additional Description:

    The operation of the SCAN MASTER 0 4838 A0 book scanner is simple and straightforward. Simply place the book and hit the scan button. It’s that easy. The rest of the process is fully automatic, leaving the operator with nothing to do but turn the page and trigger the scan.


    All SMA scanners come equipped with a special LED light illuminator that doesn’t emit any harmful ultraviolet or infrared radiation. This means harmless and consistent illumination. The illuminator, which is situated inside the scan head, seamlessly moves across the original documents, allowing all SMA book scanners to function independently from ambient light without irritating the operator’s eyes.


    The SCAN MASTER 0 4838 A0 book scanner is equipped with V3D Technology. This technology enables the digitisation of textured surfaces such as wood, rubber, plastic, fabrics and carpet, along with light-reflecting items like coins, seals, and metallic prints. Gold or silver-coated originals can also be captured with exceptional quality. This extends its application beyond materials in the traditional library and archive world, which opens up new possibilities for digitisation in other sectors.


    V3D, standing for VISUAL 3D, is a state-of-the-art scanning technology that produces results that look very similar to 3D. It utilises multiple lighting scenarios to capture the same area from different perspectives. These separate images are then consolidated into one by the software, which results in V3D images that perfectly reproduce the appearance of nearly any structured surface while significantly enhancing the depth of field. This unique approach takes SMA scanners' already exceptional image quality to a whole new level. If you want to perform regular 2D scanning, the V3D function can be easily turned off.

  • Technical Data:

    • Scanning range 914 x 1270mm (36 x 50 inches)
    • Optical resolution of 600 ppi over the entire scanning range
    • 48-bit color depth
    • IP device with its individual IP address
    • Motorised 35 cm pull-out book cradle as a standard feature
