This is the perfect scanner for users that require an easy to use device for copying or archiving. This flexible scanner covers special scanning tasks involving scanning/copying of very fragile originals, materials with uneven surfaces, three-dimensional objects or just about anything that can be put on the scanner bed. Some of the typical businesses looking for this scanner would be museums, archival institutes and libraries. The COPYmate 18 scanners contain the all-new on-board iJET Technology and iJET Panel. The panel opens an elaborate menu system that enables setup and activation of full scan-to-print and scan-to-file options directly from the scanner without the need for a PC and software software. The scanner supports both LAN and USB printer connection options so supported printers can be hooked up and used for copy output directly from the scanner. The scanner and connected printer thus form an easy to use and "best of breed" large format copier at prices competitive with the market's current all-in-one copy machine solutions. With the scanner's LAN interface, users can connect the scanner to the local network enabling a company's employees to share the scanner and use it with other LAN connected devices such as printers and remote PC stations.
