Incredible Paper Handling and Reliability

Featuring a stainless steel paper path with a clamshell design, all models can handle up to 500 sheets of paper at a time, from 2.60" x 2.60" (66 mm x 66 mm) up to 11.70" x 40" (297 mm x 1016 mm) size and 9lb. bond to 110 lb. bond weight.  All models feature Ultrasonic Multifeed Detection with Ignore by size.  The Spectrum series is the only scanner on the market that features Ignore by size functionality. 

All models feature a daily duty cycle of 60,000 scans, user replaceable rollers that last up to 600,000 scans (250,000 scans for NCR paper), and a 1 year warranty (onsite with 24 hour response in the United states)- making these products the most reliable and cost effective scanners available for production scanning.  

Everything You Need Comes in the Box

Like previous Spectrum products, All Spectrum XF models ship with all of the items below. As a result, you'll be up and scanning in under 15 minutes following installation, and you'll never have to worry about not having the right board, cable or driver. That, combined with Spectrum's warranty coverage, long consumable life and low cost of consumables replacement, makes Spectrum the most cost effective production scanner on the market. 

  • Hardware VRS – Each Spectrum model contains a VRS image enhancement board (the "hardware" part of our implementation of VRS), and a VRS CD that loads the VRS interface onto the user's PC is also provided
  • Drivers – ISIS, TWAIN and ImageControls drivers all load transparently from the VRS CD, which eliminates the need to download them from our website or from elsewhere
  • Board and Cable – one Adrenaline 650i PC interface board and SCSI-3 cable are included
  • Scanner Hardware – one 500-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF), adjustable exit tray, input and exit tray extension for long documents, camera calibration kit, power cord, and a user manual are also included
