Made for ultimate portability, the Gemini book scanner is the first easily transportable v-cradle scanner. It comes apart with two thumb screws; and therefore, requires no tools to set up for full working capacity. The entire scanner can fit inside a portable ATA-compliant travel case. The Gemini also includes Scantheus production software, which can easily crop, enhance, and save the images.

This revolutionary book scanner can be connected to any PC with a USB-3.0 port, making it a portable, easy-to-use, and efficient solution for production scanning.
