All Colortrac SC Technical scanners begin life as a ‘Mono’ model and can easily be upgraded via email to ‘Colour’ or to ‘Express Colour’ making them a superb buy for users whose work load or requirements may change as they grow.  If you choose to purchase a ‘Colour’ or ‘Colour Express’ model these will be upgraded prior to dispatch so delivery will be 2 days rather than next working day.

If you only have a requirement to scan technical document originals, choose a SmartLF SC Xpress wide format scanner. If you require the versatility to scan technical documents, artwork and photos, choose one of the Colortrac SG Graphics Scanners.

• Sharp, accurate scans especially suited to technical documents like CAD drawings / blueprints.
• Advanced paper transport and illumination systems mean that even folded CAD drawings / blueprints scan sharp and shadow free.
• High 600 or 1200 dpi optical resolution – more than enough for scanning any technical document.
• Choice of scanner widths up to 56″ (142.3 cm) – scan documents up to E+ and A0+ in size.
• Ready for use within seconds of power on – no warm-up, no waiting. Switch off when not in use.
• Fast mono and color scan speeds.
• Low cost to buy, economic to run.
• Upgradeable models: m (monochrome), c (color) and e (express color) – buy what you need when you need it and upgrade by email.
• Simple to use SmartWorks Touch software included with the scanner lets you scan to PDF, TIFF or JPG formats and make copies of your documents on any Windows printer.

SCANNING YOUR TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS USING SMARTWORKS PRO SOFTWARE – KEY BENEFITS

• Interactive Intelligent Adaptive Thresholding cleans up your dirty CAD drawings and blueprints better and faster – you can set threshold values on the fly without the need for time-wasting prescans.
• “Scan-it-once” philosophy – simply scan a document, check it and make any adjustments to the scan settings. There’s no need to rescan, giving you a huge workflow advantage.

PROTECT PRECIOUS ORIGINALS

Colortrac also supply Document Carriers in A1 and A0 size which will protect delicate and fragile originals and will also assist where translucent originals are being scanned.

THE ‘XPRESS’ DIFFERENCE

Colortrac SmartLF SC Xpress Series is now even faster for everyday scanning tasks.  At 200 dpi the paper speed has been doubled which means that an A0 / E size document scanned in 24-bit colour now scans at a full 12 inches per second, very nearly the same speed as a monochrome scan.   At 300 dpi the speed has also been doubled.  Scan speeds at higher dpis are not affected.  This performance requires a USB3 enabled computer connection.  For USB2 connections these speeds will be halved.

The new compact SmartLF SC 25 Xpress large format scanner is the best general purpose solution for scanning wide format Technical Imaging and Color Graphics documents up to Arch D, ANSI D, ISO A1 or B2.  With a small footprint, it is ideal for Small Office, Home Office, On-site Building Services, Architectural, Engineering, Construction, Facilities Management or Electronic Document Capture (EDC).  Using the optional Document Return Guide, it allows you to feed and retrieve documents from the front, making the reduced footprint of the solution ideal for small offices.

SINGLESENSOR TECHNOLOGY

The SmartLF SC 25 Xpress is an addition to the expanding range of large format scanners using the SingleSensor (Patent pending) digital imaging technology.  This patented Colortrac invention combines contact image sensors (CIS) in a robust, single-piece unit, that enables a significantly higher optical quality and dramatically increase in pixel alignment stability.  The 25 inch wide scanner has 30,000 short image-path sensors and a custom designed bi-directional LED lighting arrangement.  These work together to reduce optical errors to a minimum ensuring all scan and copy data is of the highest possible color and dimensional accuracy.  Shadow effects in folds of creased documents are also reduced by the innovative active pressure roller that gently presses the document against the SingleSensor.  The SmartLF SC 25 Xpress uses “instant-on” low energy illumination technology and is Energy Star qualified.  The scanner is manufactured to meet or exceed all relevant safety and electrical standards.

LARGER DOCUMENT STAGING AREA

The new design incorporates a larger face-up staging platform to make loading documents into the scanner faster and easier.  SC 25 Xpress is the first Colortrac scanner designed specifically to auto-size documents face-up in the centre of the scanner, a change which helps the operator to see what they are scanni ng and also to load creased documents more effectively.  For documents conforming to standard drawing sheet sizes (manual mode) the scanner can accept media side & center using SmartWorks Pro or at the side only using the SmartWorks TOUCH software.  The straight-through paper path of SC 25 has a maximum media width of 27 inches (686mm) and accepts documents and maps up to 0.08 inches (2 mm) in thickness.  This is more than enough to meet the requirements of AEC, CAD, GIS and the majority of work done by copy shop or service bureaux.

DYNAMIC DOCUMENT FEED

The SmartLF SC 25 Xpress SingleSensor allows the use of a simplified arrangement of rollers to ensure that the document always stays in contact with the optics.  Driven rollers either side of the optical path and an active soft pressure roller running the full length of the SingleSensor allow the scanner to dynamically respond and actively work against the optical disturbances caused by document lift and paper creasing.  This technology ensures that delicate or fragile media such as newspaper and old blueprints can be safely and accurately scanned without problem.

SUPERSPEED PC INTERFACE

The SmartLF SC Xpress large format scanner series are the first scanners to incorporate the new SuperSpeed USB 3.0 digital interface.  With a dramatic x10 increase in the internal data transfer rates, the new USB 3.0 interface works at up to 5Gb/sec.  In terms of speed of scan data saved to the computer this represents more than double the previous rate of 28MB/sec (USB2) to 65 -85 MB/sec for USB3 depending on computer manufacturer.  SuperSpeed USB 3.0 is unique to Colortrac and allows the SmartLF SC 25 Xpress scanner to work at full speed using higher resolutions on wider documents than ever before.  For those without a USB3 equipped computer SmartLF SC 25 Xpress  enhanced USB2 circuitry achieves a 25% improvement in data speed (35MB/sec) above the previously recognised industry average transfer rate of 28MB/sec for a normal USB2 equipped pc.

Higher data transfer gives the SmartLF SC 25 Xpress operator the freedom to scan wider and at higher resolutions without affecting productivity.  If you have large amounts of archiving then SmartLF SC 25 Xpress is the perfect solution.
