Purpose-built to replace traditional photocopiers in Public, Government, and Corporate Libraries, this compact yet powerful device offers a cost-effective, eco-friendly scanning solution. Say goodbye to paper, toner, and costly maintenance! Libraries can reduce operational expenses while supporting sustainability initiatives.
Efficient and Robust

Patrons can scan to USB, email, or network, making it the perfect tool for public libraries, archives, museums and corporate environments.
High-Resolution Image Area Sensor
The book2net Spirit Advance is equipped with a high-resolution linear area sensor and depth of field up to 8 cm, the Spirit Advanced ensures true-to-life image quality. The device supports 36-bit internal and 24-bit external color processing, delivering vivid, distortion-free scans with excellent color accuracy and minimal noise, ideal for OCR and archival applications.
Time-Saving with High Ease of Use
Thanks to its Dynamic Control system, the Spirit Advanced automatically adjusts exposure, lighting, shutter speed, and calibration before every scan. This guarantees optimal scan quality every time, even for first-time users. The live preview function and simple navigation make scanning fast, easy, and frustration-free; typically completing a scan cycle (capture + process + save) in under 2.2 seconds.
Ideal for both Public Access & Preservation
Whether you’re digitizing rare collections or offering self-service scanning to the public, the Spirit Advanced delivers. One of the main benefits for libraries is that it is gentle on books. Unlike copiers, there is no pressure on the spine, making it ideal for fragile or bound materials. It can also be integrated into book digitization initiatives and used to digitally archive collections for sharing and long-term preservation. Its gentle scanning process preserves delicate materials while providing consistent, high-resolution results. Its compact, portable design makes it easy to install and relocate, weighing just 36 kg.
