Océ Direct scan
With Océ Direct Scan technology, the outstanding image quality is ensured by a single high-resolution 600 dpi colour CCD camera and specially developed high quality lens. Moreover, the reliability of the optical system lies in its single mirror, single camera concept reducing the number of moving parts to a minimum and therefore the number of required calibrations.
Advantages
- Colour consistency and sharpness
Achieved by single high resolution 600dpi colour CCD camera and the specially developed high quality lens. In addition the lamp offers an exceptional colour spectrum and a highly stable light intensity over long periods of operation. - Reduced number of required calibrations
- Increased long-term quality of scanned image
Achieved through innovative light source which has no adverse effect from frequent switching cycles. In addition there is only a minimal colour shift throughout the lamp cycle. - Eliminating risks of distortion
Through the use of a single mirror
How the technology works
- Original
After loading into the scan engine, the original is automatically and accurately measured. - Glass plate keeps out dust
A glass plate keeps dust, other objects or curled originals out of the scan engine while the original is transported through it. - Lamp ensures consistently accurate colours over long periods of operation
The original is illuminated. The lamp uses the latest lighting technology. The high colour spectrum ensures for a maximum colour accuracy and the stable brightness keeps quality consistant. All within seconds, no warming-up even for colour scanning. - Reflector redirects light beams, avoiding shadows
Together with the lamp position, the reflector focuses light directly on the original eliminating shadows around the scanned information. This effect can be particularly visible when copying transparent originals. - Single mirror eliminates risk of distortion
Reducing the height of the scan engine to an ergonomic size, the image of the original is reflected onto a high-precision mirror. Unlike conventional technologies with multiple mirrors, the unique single mirror eliminates distortion and increases long-term robustness - Single high-resolution camera ensures consistent colours and high sharpness
The image is captured by a single high-resolution colour camera consisting of a high quality multi-element lens and a 3-colour linear CCD. This ensures that the image is always sharply focused without distortion. The CCD allows a true resolution of 600 dpi to be reached with high image quality. Unlike conventional technologies using multiple image sensors, this CCD is unique in eliminating the need for frequent calibrations and increasing the long-term quality of scanned images.
The captured image is now ready for processing. And that’s where Océ Colour Image Logic takes over.
