The Plustek OpticBook 3600 provides a solution to a very common problem. That problem is book scanning. If you have ever tried to scan a book with a standard scanner you know what a frustrating experience it can be. If you lay the book flat on the scanner’s bed, the words near the spine are left in a shadowed area. If you press the book down so that the pages are perfectly flat, you crush the binding. Neither of these is an optimal choice. With the help of the OpticBook 3600, you can have perfectly scanned pages without ruining your books!
How the OpticBook 3600 Works
This scanner has a special book edge that allows the user to place the book with one page on the scanner with the inside of the binding touching the edge. Therefore, the other page of the book lies outside of the scanner. This Plustek OpticBook 3600’s scanning bed is just the right height that your book will not be bent in an awkward position while the scanned page remains flat. The scanning bed’s glass is remarkably close to the special book edge; this featured element guarantees that all words on the page will be scanned in without missing any text.
