A new type of digital system developed by Minolta has revolutionized the scanning, printing and distribution process of bound publications. The PS 7000 and PS 3000 scanners digitize books face up providing a more gentle and productive process of converting pages to electronic files or high quality prints.

Minolta PS 7000 Digital Publication Scanner

The PS 7000 allows the scanning of large, bound publications up to 17" x 23" face-up, while converting pages to digital images. Once in electronic format, these images may be faxed, attached to E-mail messages, or stored to disk for distribution. Adding Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software allows the images to be converted to text for word search applications. Utilizing a TWAIN or ISIS interface, the PS 7000 can scan up to 600 DPI to create high resolution images.

Advantages of the PS 7000 include:

  • Image Editing
    Automatically erases center shadow in the gutter during open book scanning and also allows frame masking and select finger masking.
  • Resolution
    Multiple image resolution settings provide outputs of up to 600dpi.
  • Set PC or Printer
    Direct Print or PC-Connect Mode - a single button switches your PS 7000 output from a Minolta 11" x 17" printer to PC.
  • Simple Controls
    Makes scanning bound volumes quick and simple.
  • Faster Scanning
    Face-up scanning is better for bound materials, because you don't have to handle them repeatedly or press down on bindings. One scan produces multiple copies, minimizing light exposure on rare or deteriorated books.
  • Optional 90 Degree Book Cradle
    Three different settings for enhanced book spine support.
  • Automatic Curve Correction
    Compensates for page curvature at the center spine. The PS 7000 can also automatically mask borders, erase shadows, and erase the image of fingers holding open the pages of bound materials.
  • Dual Function of Scanning to a PC or Scanning done directly to a video connected printer.
