Large format scanners are useful for scanning very large objects or media, such as posters, fabrics, and newspapers. They can also be useful for scanning in textures from unusual materials, such as concrete slabs.

Specialized Benefits of Large Format Scanners?

Large format scanners provide specialized document handling skills for people who need to scan items that are bigger than an average sheet of paper. Most scanners are limited to 8.5 x 11 prints, and are unable to process anything larger. A large format scanner can accommodate items that require more scanning surface than 8.5 x 11. Scan Open Books and Unusual Documents There are many reasons that large format scanners could be useful. Most standard sheet music is too big for a regular sheet scanner, which means that either the top or the bottom of the page is always cut off. Archivists and other professionals sometimes need to scan both pages of an open book at a time. If the book is not standard sized, the user would have to scan it twice if they were using a standard scanner. Most blueprints and legal documents are also larger than 8.5 x 11, and need to be scanned in large format scanners. Size and Time There are some drawbacks to large format scanners. Since the document being scanned is larger than usual, the computer file that is created will also be rather large. You can make adjustments to the file size using the scanning software, but in the end you will still have a larger file than you would have with standard sized paper. Each scan will take longer when you use large format scanners, as well. Both of these problems can be compensated for if you make sure your computer has plenty of hard drive space and you allow yourself enough time to complete each scan. Needs Plenty of Space Large format scanners take up quite a bit of room on a table or desk. Since they need to have a larger scanning surface, they tend to be very long and wide. The best way to use large format scanners is by placing them on a low table that has plenty of surface space. Using a scanner that has been placed on a high shelf or a tall table can be more difficult because you need clear access to the scanning bed on top of the machine. Leave plenty of room above the scanner for the door to open and close.
