Minolta PS7000 Professional Book Scanner

This is apparatus designed for the effective scanning of manuscripts and journals.
The image of the object is read off with the aid of a scanner placed directly over the book, thereby precluding excessive bending back of the cover, as may happen with a photocopier or standard computer scanner.
The output of the scan is a PDF file, making easy and universal access to the publication possible. 

Safety aspects
The machine makes it possible to scan old manuscripts and books without excessive bending taking place. It also uses light of lesser intensity than a photocopier and is not therefore harmful to the items being scanned. 

Possibilities and quality
Maximum size of scanned object – A2. 
Black-and-white or shades-of-grey scanning of resolutions in the range 300-600 dpi, depending on the format of the object scanned. 
The initial output is a PDF file, or else a graphic file of whatever form required. 
Images are cleaned of all stains or marks except those present between the lines of the text.
