ScanPro® microfilm scanners are designed to help researchers, librarians, archivists, genealogists, and records professionals work more efficiently with microfilm and microfiche collections. From exceptional image quality and advanced OCR tools to automated image enhancement and workflow features, ScanPro combines powerful technology with intuitive operation to improve productivity and simplify research.

The following features are just a few of the ways ScanPro delivers exceptional performance for research, records retrieval, preservation, and digitization applications.

Continual Image Focus Technology (FOCUS-Lock™)

Continual image focus technology (FOCUS-Lock) provides continual image focus – even during optical zoom. This exceptional feature works without any operator intervention making research faster, easier, and more efficient. FOCUS-Lock is standard on all ScanPro microfilm scanners.

ScanPro IQ™ Image Quality

Powered by ScanPro IQ™, ScanPro microfilm scanners deliver exceptional image quality for applications where legibility, readability, and fine detail matter most. Advanced imaging technology, precision optics, and intelligent image enhancement tools work together to capture sharp, accurate images from even the most challenging microforms.

Whether you're conducting research, retrieving records, or digitizing collections, ScanPro helps ensure clear, readable results while preserving important information and historical detail.

Optical Zoom Magnification of 5X to 105X

The ScanPro single zoom magnification feature provides the highest optical zoom magnification of any microfilm scanner on the market. This single lens covers all the film magnifications for any film application, even ultra-fiche and large-format images (48mm to 44mm image capture). In addition to having a single optical zoom lens that covers all magnifications, this optical lens provides the additional benefit of being able to read small text and examine fine details on your microfilm image. This broad magnification range helps users read small text, examine fine details, and work with a wide variety of microform formats.

SPOT-Edit™

When text and pictures are on the same film image, it is common to find the pictures too dark to view when the text is adjusted for best readability. The SPOT-Edit feature addresses this issue and allows users to edit ONLY the areas that they select while leaving the remaining areas unchanged. The user can select as many different areas as needed and adjust each independently. Our customers refer to this as the "must have feature".

"The SPOT-Edit feature is fantastic. We were recently working with a microfiche where the top row of images was a 1/3 dark with a hue over it and we couldn't read it at all. We used the SPOT-Edit button and viola, it lightened the image and the data pulled right through for a viewable image. It was amazing!"

-Lynn Peavler, Exelon Corp

AUTO-Adjust™

The AUTO-Adjust feature is a single button that automates steps frequently used when a patron is working with microfilm. The AUTO-Adjust feature will examine the current microfilm image shown on the monitor and will automatically adjust image brightness and image contrast for the best viewable image. It will straighten the image if it is not straight and it will fit the “crop box” around the image, making the image ready for the patron to just click to scan or print the final image seen on the monitor. AUTO-Adjust is easy-to-use and fast to operate and is a favorite for researchers and occasional users alike. Our customers refer to this exceptional feature as the “magic button”.

PowerScan Productivity Suite (OCR Tools)

Powered by ABBYY® FineReader technology, the PowerScan Productivity Suite (PPS) provides advanced OCR tools that help users search, retrieve, convert, and share information stored on microfilm. PPS enables searchable PDF creation, text extraction, keyword searching, and information lookups directly from the ScanPro viewing screen, making research and records retrieval faster and more efficient.

WORD-Search™ - Find words right on your microfilm image without having to read through the entire page. Just enter the word that you are looking for in the search box and if it is on the microfilm, it will be highlighted everywhere it appears.

INFO-Link™ - Use INFO-Link to get more information about what you see on your microfilm. Just click to highlight a word or words and then select the internet reference source that you want to use like Wikipedia, a thesaurus, or a dictionary.
