Superior Image Quality

High-speed scanning with the Copiscan 8000 Spectrum captures everything with astounding vividness and clarity. The scanned image looks just like the original document, preserving all your valuable information. Your OCR/ICR software will produce clear, readable text, and you can throw away the original paper. And when you're ready, you can upgrade to colour at any time.

Intelligent Ultrasonic Multifeed: Never Miss a Double-Feed

With Spectrum, you never have to worry about losing information due to multiple documents feeding through at the same time. Ultrasonic Multifeed Detection detects document double-feeds by sensing air gaps between paper. When a single page feeds, there is no air gap; when two documents feed through, the space between them creates an air gap. In addition, our ultrasonic multifeed detection includes an intelligence feature that can ignore documents that sometimes trigger false multifeed alerts, like photographs, labels and envelopes.

The Latest VRS Technology Built-In

Now with VRS 3.5, Spectrum users will experience optimal image quality without slowing down the scanner, even when the original documents are crooked, distorted, obscured by complex background, or a mixture of sizes and thickness. As a result, almost no document prepping is necessary. You won't need to change settings each time you scan a different batch type (including imprinting/endorsing, patchcode and barcode recognition), and rescanning is virtually eliminated. In addition, Spectrum is the first production scanner to integrate hardware VRS so that it works with any software application using ImageControls, ISIS or TWAIN drivers. All this makes for lower labour costs, higher document throughput, a more streamlined workflow process, and the lowest total cost of scanning of any production scanning solution.

Other Advantages

600,000 Scan Roller Life: Spectrum pick-and-separator rollers last longer than those of any other production scanners; up to 250,000 scans per roller when scanning caustic NCR paper (e.g. multipage forms and receipts that use various chemicals rather than carbon paper). All rollers can be replaced individually so you can rotate the front and back rollers, allowing them to wear evenly and last longer. Spectrum transport rollers last even longer than those of the pick-and-separator rollers.

5,000 Hour Lamp Life: Spectrum lamps last longer and are burned in for up to 50 hours to reduce defect rates (which can be as high as 15% without burn-in). Additionally, lamps can be replaced individually rather than having to replace all four lamps at one time as on other scanners.

Production Quality Scanning: Spectrum's stainless steel transport and high-quality consumables allow users to scan 6,000 to 60,000+ documents per day with ease, thereby minimising downtime.

Elegant Clamshell Design: Allows access to the entire paper path, so you never have to call a service technician just because a piece of paper jammed.
