WideTEK® 36DS is the world´s first wide format duplex scanner for digitizating two sided printed documents up to 36inches (915 mm) wide. At 300 dpi optical resolution, the scanner needs only 2.5 seconds to scan the front and back of a newspaper page in a single pass through the scanner. The scanner has two camera boxes, each holding three CCD systems. After scanning, software separates the scan into four single images; capturing the left and right half of the front and back of the newspaper - everything in one single step.
