Fast, Precise, and Durable Book Scanner
The Book2net Kiosk Public A2 is a modern book scanner that sets new standards for speed, precision, and usability. Since its launch, it has impressed users worldwide with its durability, reliability, and exceptional image quality thanks to innovative matrix-sensor technology. It performs efficiently in reading rooms and large digitization projects.
Optics
The scanner features Schneider-Kreuznach precision lenses, 12 cm depth of focus, brilliant color accuracy, perfect linearity, and distortion-free imaging. Optional 3D-Analyser II adds geometric 3D book analysis, finger removal, edge detection, page recognition, type area recognition, book fold correction (BFO), and preservation approval.
24-Inch Touchscreen
An ergonomic 24” touchscreen provides an intuitive, user-friendly interface for all operators.
Integrated PC
The embedded PC is fast and quiet, running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC with SSD storage and enhanced write-filter technology for security and virus protection.
High-Performance Matrix Sensor
Selectable resolutions of 300, 400, or 600 dpi, dual-page color scans at 0.3 seconds, and a full scanning-processing-saving cycle of 2.2 seconds ensure fast and accurate results. USB 3.0 interface and reduced signal noise improve OCR recognition.
LED Lighting
Cold-light LEDs with Fresnel lenses provide homogeneous, glare-free illumination, adaptable to ambient light. Low energy consumption and constant wavelength protect delicate materials.
Book cradle
The self-adjusting book cradle offers height compensation up to 15 cm, a 10 cm protective spine gap, and a motorized locking mechanism. It is preservation-approved and gentle on fragile or thick books.
Matrix-Sensor Technology
High-resolution matrix sensors combined with premium optics deliver perfect color reproduction, high contrast, minimal file sizes, and high depth of focus, capturing all book fold details evenly.
Book Fold Optimization
BFO ensures consistent image sharpness across the page, even with uneven or wavy documents, producing raw image data suitable for archiving and precise OCR.
Green Technology
Energy-efficient design reduces consumption by up to 60%. LEDs are UV/IR-free, illumination time is 0.6 seconds, and eco-function adjusts light intensity while maintaining optimal image quality.
Ergonomics and Usability
The 22” touchscreen allows QA and operator convenience. Drag-and-drop thumbnail previews, electronic shutter buttons, SSD storage, and USB capacity display increase efficiency and reduce residence time at the scanner.
Conservation Book Cradle
Adaptable to historical books, modern books, magazines, documents, or ring binders, the cradle ensures gentle handling. Optional coatings and sensitive touchpads guarantee quiet, motionless scanning.
True Color Management
Color accuracy is verified with ISO test charts and X-Rite ColorChecker® 24 Patch calibration, ensuring precise and consistent reproduction.
Easy Scan Interface
Intuitive and fast, operators can save scans to USB or print directly. Expert mode offers advanced options including color selection, page splitting, OCR, book curve correction, and multilingual support.
Security and Reliability
All scanners run on Windows Embedded with Enhanced Write Filter, preventing disk changes, protecting against viruses or power failures, and ensuring long-term system stability. Copyright and watermark features maintain legal compliance.
All-In-One Concept
The integrated PC and monitor eliminate external hardware while protecting against vandalism.
