The new generation of SmartLF SC Xpress series scanners encompass many new innovative features that will help make your production scanning quicker and easier. With higher quality imaging, higher scanning speed and super speed transfer, the SmartLF SC Xpress series provides fast, high quality scans or copies of wide format maps, site plans, engineering drawings, blueprints, architectural renderings and many other technical documents.

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.

• 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.

SINGLESENSOR TECHNOLOGY

The SmartLF SC 36 is an addition to our expanding range of large format scanners that use our SingleSensor (Patent pending) digital imaging technology.  The Colortrac invention combines a full document width of individual contact image sensors (CIS) in a robust single-piece unit, enabling a significantly higher optical quality and dramatic increase in pixel alignment stability.  The SmartLF SC 36 scanner has 43,200 short image-path sensors that are illuminated by a custom designed bi-directional LED lighting arrangement that also provide “instant-on” low energy illumination making the SmartLF SC 36 Energy Star qualified.  Shadow effects in folds of creased documents are also reduced by the innovative active pressure roller that gently presses the document against the SingleSensor.  These features reduce optical errors to a minimum ensuring all scan and copy data is of the highest possible color and dimensional accuracy.   The scanner is designed and manufactured to meet or exceed all relevant international 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.  SmartLF SC 36 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 scanning and also to load creased documents more effectively.  For documents conforming to standard drawing sheet sizes (manual mode) the scanner expects the media at the side of the platform.  The straight-through paper path of SmartLF SC 36 has a maximum media width of 38 inches (96.5cm) and accepts documents 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 36 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 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 36 scanner to work at full speed using higher resolutions on wider documents than ever before.  For those without a USB3 equipped computer SmartLF SC 36 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 36 operator the freedom to scan wider and at higher resolutions without affecting productivity.  If you have large amounts of archiving then SmartLF SC 36 is the perfect solution.
