WideTEK 48CL
48 Inch Wide Format Scanner

The WideTEK 48CL-600 is by far the fastest 48 Inch color CIS scanner on the market, running at 10 inches per second at 150 dpi in full color. At the full width of 48" and 1200 dpi resolution, the scanner still scan at .83 inches per second. The scanning speeds in black and white and greyscale modes are 15 inches per second. Additionally, the speeds can be individually configured if needed, to scan fragile, valuable documents.

All of these speeds are guaranteed, due to the Scan2Net® technology integrated in the scanner´s own built in 64 bit Linux PC. It is a true standalone system capable of scanning directly to FTP servers, hot folders, USB drives, to cloud applications in the internet or copying to printers directly, without the need for an extra PC.

The WideTEK 48CL-600 handles documents up to 50 inches wide with a maximum scanning width of 48 inches. The scanner is a standalone system, which is capable of scanning to FTP servers, hot folders, USB mass storage devices, cloud applications on the Internet or copy directly to a printer without an additional external PC.

The WideTEK 48CL produces extraordinarily sharp images, with color accuracy even superior to competing CCD scanners. Document rotation is done on the fly, a scan of an E-sized / A0 document in portrait mode at 300 dpi in 24-bit color takes less than 7 seconds to scan and another 2 seconds to crop, deskew, preview and store.

The user operates the scanner either across a network with a standard internet browser via PC or directly on the built-in touch screen located on the front of the scanner. The scanner uses it's own internal PC. You cannot connect this scanner directly to a PC.

The optional 21" Touch Screen monitor can be directly connected to the scanner and used to operate the scanner instead of the 7" touch screen. Using either the 7" touch screen or the optional 21" Touch screen display, up to 30 different password protected jobs can be defined and stored. The jobs contain preconfigured settings such as scan parameters or directories on the network drives.

In addition, the Scan2Pad Application can allow the user to use an iPad or Tablet to control the scanner via a Network Wi-Fi Connection.

The exceptionally high scanning speed, dust-protected and encapsulated optical components and the absence of consumables characterize this highly efficient production-ready device. With a life expectancy of over one million scans, the WideTEK® 48 redefines the price/performance ratio in the wide format scanner market.

The 7 inch color WVGA (wide VGA) touchscreen provides access to all functions directly from the scanner. It is very easy to access and is operator-friendly because it is located right at the center of the scanner, exactly where the operator stands or sits.

One USB 3.0 port in the front of the device (next to screen) allows the user to plug in a USB storage device, scan the source document to the USB device and walk away - without the need for a connected PC - ideal for every self-service environment.

The FREE Scan2Pad® application allows WideTEK scanners to be controlled and operated using an iPad or an Android tablet or a smartphone running Android version 3.2 or higher or an iPhone. Experience a new way to work with our book and large format scanners and see how simple it is to configure and operate them using our mobile application Scan2Pad®.

The paper guide consists of only one piece which includes the scanning bed, scanning area and the exit path. There are no edges or catches which could cause a paper jam. The suface is textured for trouble free transport and the stainless steel makes for an anti-static surface that's long lasting too.
