What makes the Contex IQ Quattro X 4450 better than CCD scanners?
CIS (Contact Image Sensor) technology offers several advantages over CCD scanners: faster scanning speeds, better image quality with reduced shadows, lower power consumption, and more compact design. The IQ Quattro X 4450 eliminates the warm-up time required by CCD scanners, producing superior image quality for technical documents.
Can this scanner handle delicate or damaged original drawings?
Yes, the bundle includes two clear document carriers (18x24 and 24x36) specifically designed for delicate originals. The automated paper thickness control and gentle CIS scanning process ensure safe handling of fragile documents, old blueprints, and valuable originals without risk of damage.
What software is included and how does it integrate with AutoCAD?
The bundle includes NextImage 5.0 software for scan and archive functionality. The scanner is fully compatible with AutoCAD, ESRI, and other professional applications, allowing direct scanning into your CAD workflow. Scanned documents can be saved in multiple formats and automatically integrated into your project folders.
How fast can I scan a typical D-size architectural drawing?
