Source material characteristics

Loose sheets

• No fasteners

• No additional paper/items affixed to any sheets.

• No extremely brittle pages with broken edges.

• No deckled (rough and irregular) edges, only clean regular edges.

• Barcodes may need to be removed or lined-out with a marker before scanning

• Variable page sizes and thickness can be accommodated within a single scanning batch.

• Cockled, wrinkled sheets can be accommodated in most cases.

Sheet size

• Max: 11" x 17"

• Min: 2.5" x 3.5"

Paper weight range

Additional constraints

• Black/very dark pages cannot be scanned. These are invisible to the scanner's sensors.

• Documents/objects of less than 50 sheets cannot be scanned efficiently with this scanner. Collections of documents with few sheets each will be matched with another service.

• Document batches may be scanned in simplex (front of sheet only) or duplex (both sheet sides) mode. Blank page-sides will be included.

Warning

• When considering disbinding bound published materials for this service, be aware that text, charts, or images spanning across two-page openings will likely result in lost content. This loss originates in the disbinding process, not the scanning.

  • JPEG2000 format, lossless compression

  • 300 ppi
