SCSI Desktop Scanner

The IDEAL Full Scale Scanner FSS8300 DSP provides affordable, high speed, very high resolution scanning for computer capture of wide format engineering or scientific documents for drawing conversion, CAD, archive storage and retrieval, or GIS applications demanding fine-line capture. The compact, desktop scanner can efficiently rasterize drawings up to 36 inches wide (E-Size), on 40 inch wide media, scanning drawings directly Fast SCSI 2 interfaces on UNIX/Motif and through adapters on most PC computer types, AT/ISA PCI, or PS2. The FSS 18300 DSP is part of a sixth generation family of superior products for scanning documents,including the FSS4300, FSS12300, and FSS 8300 DSP scanners, all supported by the CADImage series of software products. CADImage/Scan controls the scanners, and also provides conversion, view, and plot tools.

High Performance Scanning

The FSS8300 DSP offers the highest true resolution in its price class and selectable sampled resolution;1800, 800, 600, 500, 400, 300, 200, 150, 100, 75, 50, 25 dpi, and a physical resolution setting to match user application requirement and system storage capabilities. The FSS 18300 scans drawings up to 36 inches wide, with length limited only by computer file size. Offering outstanding throughput, it scans a typical E-Size CAD drawing into industry standard formats in 10 seconds at 400 dpi resolution.

Automatic Load Features

The FSS18300 DSP Scanner has automated the scanning process with Auto-load, Auto-scan, and Auto-size features.

• Auto-load allows for automatic grabbing of the paper when inserted in the scanner.
  
• Auto-scan allows for automatic 2-D adaptive cleanup for poor quality drawings in order to produce clean, crisp scans.
  
• Auto-size allows for automatic detection of the width of the drawing inserted in the scanner and detects the end of the paper after the scanning process to eliminate missing a part of the scan because an incorrect format was chosen. There is an optional Auto-snap feature which snaps the document to standard ASNI and ISO document sizes.
  

Image Processing

All the DSP model scanners have despeckling and deskewing capabilities which can be performed on the fly while scanning. The FSS18300, FSS12300, and FSS8300 DSP Scanners have a new feature for hole repair which is called, holefilling. This new feature fills in every white hole in a black area for a cleaner scan.
