24-bit color document feed scanner that can achieve up to 1200 dpi. We use this scanner for larger documents that have many pages, as this machine is able to feed and scan large stacks of paper automatically.

Book edge scanner designed to eliminate spine shadows when scanning books. This is a great scanner for books that we aren't allowed to cut the spine away from, as it allows us to get closer into the center of the book.

Large format feed scanner designed for larger objects (like maps, portraits, blueprints, etc.). Depending on how fragile the materials being scanned are, we'll sometimes use protective mylar sheets with this machine (and it's often a two-person ordeal).
