Plustek OpticBook A300 Plus escáner de mesa 600 x 600 DPI A3 negro, plateado

The Plustek OpticBook A300 Plus is a flatbed book scanner with a large scanning area (304.8 x 431.8 mm) and CCD sensor, designed to digitize books and oversized documents quickly and with minimal spine shadow. It supports LED illumination powered by 24 VDC, consumes 24 W (1.25 A), and weighs 7.7 kg. The scanner outputs files in common formats and works with bundled and third‑party software for OCR and document management.

Advantages

Special book‑edge design and Plustek's SEE™ (Shadow Elimination Element) technology reduce spine shadow and text distortion so books can be scanned without removing pages from the binding. Fast scanning performance enables an A3 page scan in about 2.48 seconds and a 200‑page 8.5 x 11” book in approximately 20 minutes. The unit is compatible with TWAIN drivers and includes software support for automatic cropping, rotation and multiple output formats, while ABBYY FineReader Sprint creates searchable PDFs.

How to use

Place the book on the scanning surface with the spine aligned to the book‑edge area and close any provided book support or pavilion. Use the bundled Book Pavilion software to set scan intervals, file format and output folder. Start scanning either from the scanner controls or the software; the device can perform continuous auto scanning and automatic rotation without further interaction. For searchable text, run ABBYY FineReader Sprint on the scanned images to produce searchable PDF or other OCR outputs.

Recommendations

For best results, ensure pages are as flat as possible near the spine and select the appropriate resolution and output format for the intended use. Use grayscale or mixed mode to reduce file sizes for large‑volume digitization. Verify TWAIN compatibility with your document management application if integration is required.
