New Contex IQ FLEX Said to ‘Push the Boundaries’ in Flatbed Document Scanning
Maker of wide-format document-scanning and imaging solutions Contex, has launched its new IQ FLEX flatbed document scanner, which is said to “push the boundaries in flatbed scanning.” The IQ FLEX is the newest addition to Contex’s IQ scanner series and can scan A2 / C-size originals of any size or shape, or documents up to A1 / D-size, and unlimited thickness. With an accuracy of 0.1% +/- 1 pixel and six-second scanning speeds, Contex says the IQ FLEX is the market’s most advanced flatbed scanner.
Users can digitally capture books, fragile documents, textiles, artwork and more. The IQ FLEX can save files in standard file formats or raster format for use in any CAD or GIS application such as AutoCAD, Microstation, and ArcGIS. It also includes a 64-bit TWAIN application driver for use with EDM and other imaging software.
Scanned images can be archived or shared via network PCs, email, cloud, or USB. Customers can also send files to print using the pre-installed HP, Canon, and Epson print drivers. The IQ FLEX is the only WiFi-enabled large-format flatbed scanner with speeds of up to 150 Mb per second. Customers have three options for operating the IQ FLEX flatbed. The scanner includes a built-in controller with a 7-inch touch screen to operate, edit, annotate and markup scans, without the need for a CPU. For more advanced scanning and editing options, customers can add a CPU with Contex’s NextImage scanning software. Customers can also operate the scanner using their smart device with Contex’s rainforest365 app.
