Book-scanning applications vary greatly. Academic libraries, museums, corporate archives, patent offices and law firms, pay-for-print and pay-for-copy services in public libraries, publishing houses and even system integrators, all need to produce scans, copies or prints of bound originals.

Yet all these users face similar problems:

The fragile nature of ageing books or records, the inferior quality of traditional book scans, the growing demand for remote book scans, copies or prints supplied via the Internet or an intranet, the cost and time involved in book scanning and, last but not least, the physical strain on staff doing such work. Konica Minolta has the answer to all these problems – the PS 7000.

This high-tech digital book scanner now comes with a range of improved features such as high-resolution copying of originals up to A2 in size and an optional link-up from the PS 7000 to its dedicated printer or the Di 350 from Konica Minolta, a high-performance digital copier that serves as an ideal output device for book-copying systems.
