Both sides, one pass, straight to the folder
Two sensors capture the front and back of each sheet in a single pass as the feeder pulls the stack through. Scan profiles set resolution, colour, file type and destination once, so each job is a single button press.
Bundled OCR turns the scans into searchable PDF or editable Word and Excel files. Anything stapled, torn, brittle or bound should go on a flatbed instead.
Prepare
Staples and clips removed from the stack.
Load
Stack placed in the automatic document feeder.
Scan
Both sides captured in one pass with one button.
File
Searchable PDF saved to a folder, FTP or email.

Plustek SmartOffice scanners
Speed, feeder capacity and daily duty decide the model.
Above a few thousand pages a day, or for mixed and aged paper, a production scanner or our bureau is usually the better buy.
Government buyers procure through GeBIZ, where Micrographics Data is a registered supplier.
PS186 or PS188?
The PS188 is faster at 30 ppm / 60 ipm. The PS186 suits lighter daily volumes.
Can it scan both sides at once?
Yes. These are duplex scanners that capture front and back in one pass; blank reverse sides can be dropped automatically.
What about stapled or torn documents?
Remove fasteners first, and keep a flatbed for anything torn, brittle or bound.
Do you supply and support Plustek in Singapore?
Yes. Micrographics Data supplies Plustek in Singapore with setup, software installation and local warranty handling. GeBIZ quotations on request.
