Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CCD technology superior to CIS scanners for professional use?
CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) technology offers significantly better depth of field and light uniformity compared to CIS scanners. The HD Ultra X 4250's CCD sensors provide superior color accuracy and can handle thick, warped, or damaged documents that would be problematic for CIS scanners. This makes it ideal for archival work and technical drawings where precision is critical.
How fast can the Contex HD Ultra X 4250 scan large-format documents?
The HD Ultra X 4250 scans at 8.9 inches per second in 200 dpi color mode, making it capable of scanning three times more documents per day than comparable wide-format scanners. For a typical D-size engineering drawing (24"x36"), you can expect scan times of approximately 4 seconds, dramatically improving workflow productivity.
Can this scanner handle thick or damaged historical documents?
Yes, the HD Ultra X 4250 is specifically designed for careful handling of fragile and thick originals. The automated paper thickness control adjusts to accommodate various document types, while the CCD technology's superior depth of field ensures clear scans even from warped or damaged documents. This makes it ideal for historical archives and preservation projects.
