Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Colortrac SmartLF scan without a computer connected?
Yes, the SmartLF Scan is the world's first standalone wide-format scanner. It operates completely independently, allowing you to scan documents and save them to USB drives, internal memory, or transfer via Ethernet without any PC intervention.
What's the difference between the 24-inch and 36-inch SmartLF models?
The primary difference is scan width capacity. The 24" model handles documents up to A1/D size (24"x36"), while the 36" model accommodates larger A0/E size drawings (36"x48"). The 36" model weighs slightly more (15.4 lbs vs 11.5 lbs) but offers the same scan quality and features.
How fast does the SmartLF scanner operate?
The SmartLF scans at 4.5 inches per second in grayscale mode and 3 inches per second in full color. A typical D-size blueprint (24"x36") scans in approximately 8-12 seconds, making it ideal for high-volume document processing.
Is the scanner truly portable for construction sites?
Absolutely. The SmartLF comes with a rugged wheeled metal carrying case and weighs only 11.5-15.4 lbs. It's designed specifically for field use by AEC professionals, with no external computer required and instant power-on operation.
What file formats does the SmartLF scanner support?
The SmartLF scanner saves files in multiple formats including PDF, TIFF, and JPEG. You can configure output settings for different applications, whether you need high-resolution archival scans or compressed files for email distribution.
Does the scanner require special software or drivers?
While the SmartLF operates standalone, it includes Colortrac scanning software for advanced features when connected to a PC. Basic scanning functions work immediately without software installation, but the included drivers enable full integration with Windows systems.
