Spirit

The book2net Spirit can be described as small but mighty, but the attributes of low cost, user-friendly and high quality should also be added. The Spirit is particularly suitable for public libraries and archives, as it is both robust and easy to use. It can take over the function of a copier but delivers results at a much higher level.

If a book page does not fill the space on the copier, thick black stripes “decorate” the book page. Beautiful is different. If something is crooked, it is copied crooked. That’s not clean either. With the Spirit, which digitizes formats up to DIN A3, the software ensures that only the sheet or the book page itself is scanned. If something is not lying correctly, it is straightened by the software.

Speaking of automatic: the book2net Spirit recognizes how intense or weak the ambient light is and adjusts the exposure time accordingly. This device has its own LED light source, but you don’t necessarily have to use it. However, if you want to achieve perfect results, it is a natural choice. The Fresnel lenses ensure homogeneous illumination, while the Schneider-Kreuznach precision lens achieves an enormous depth of field, resulting in digitized images of excellent quality. This also applies to the authenticity of the colors.

Incidentally, this happens at an enormous speed, as a scan only takes 0.2 seconds, and within 2.2 seconds the document is not only scanned but also saved. You can save each page individually, even if you scan a double page “in one go”. Thanks to the sophisticated software, the user can access a logical file structure afterwards.

Other important advantages of the Spirit are the 24-inch touchscreen and the option to edit the digital image afterwards if you wish. Although this is not necessary in terms of quality, you may want to delete an area of the document or image or add annotations to a scanned text.

If you opt for the book2net Spirit, you can choose whether you prefer the device as an embedded system with an integrated PC or with external PC access. There is also a choice between the book cradle and a fixed support table. Due to its flexibility, the book cradle holds the surface of a book to be scanned on one level so that the original is captured in the best possible way, regardless of whether the book is open to page 5 or page 500.

As the book2net Spirit demonstrates its advantages particularly in publicly accessible areas, the security system naturally plays a major role. You can rely on this system, as the device’s hard disk is inaccessible to attacks.

All in all, the Spirit enables every user to work comfortably and quickly with results of the highest quality. The small, robust and energy-saving scanner creates added value in every library and archive in many ways. If you want to afford it, you don’t need a big budget.
