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

Load
Stack placed in the automatic document feeder.
Scan

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.
Why does 300 dpi speed matter?
Many scanners slow down at 300 dpi colour, the setting most archives and OCR workflows use. The PS396 Plus keeps 30 ppm at 300 dpi.
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.
