FULL SCALE MONOCHROME SCANNERS The Contex FSS monochrome 36" scanner family doubles your value by both scanning and copying in high-quality black-and-white. The scanner’s 36" imaging area handles all kinds of large media for CAD conversion, archiving, blueprints, architectural sketches and GIS applications. Scanning Superiority

The reliable and effective FSS scanners meet your large-format scanning needs in high-quality grayscale and crisp, clear black-and-white. The FSS scanners are available in models with maximum resolutions from 400 to 1800 dpi. You select the right resolution to match your imaging task and storage space.

The FSS supports 2D-Adaptive Thresholding performed in real time with the hardware embedded Digital Signal Processor. The two dimensional adaptive processing automatically compensates for varying background, faded areas and stains, producing clean, crisp scans and printouts even from poor quality drawings.

The FSS scanner models now support the latest in monochrome image enhancement techniques and meet all your professional copy needs. Connect the scanner to a large-format printer and you get the perfect large-format monochrome digital copier. Getting the right settings for your copy job is easy.

With WIDEimage/JETimage software, the FSS supports special copy modes, each fitted to a specific original type. Image enhancement processes are performed simultaneously on individual aspects of the original with Dual 2D-Adaptive enhancement. Enhancement includes ADL+ error diffusion halftoning, 2D-Adaptive foreground thresholding, 2D-Adaptive background suppression and 2D-Auto edge enhancement. ADL+ error diffusion halftoning produces reliable monochrome copies of drawings and photos in which even subtle differences between shades of gray are maintained in the printed output.

Use the optional Copy Kit to mount your PC and touchscreen directly on the scanner. Attach your large-format printer and create a convenient copy configuration that is always ready to use.
