Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CCD technology better than LED/CIS scanners?
Answer: CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) technology provides superior image quality with better color accuracy and fine line detection compared to LED/CIS scanners. The HD Ultra X 6050's CCD sensors capture finer details in technical drawings, better handle color gradients in artwork, and deliver more accurate color reproduction - essential for archival scanning and professional reproduction work.
Can this scanner handle fragile historical documents?
Answer: Yes, the HD Ultra X 6050 is specifically designed for careful handling of fragile and delicate originals. The gentle feeding mechanism and adjustable pressure controls allow you to safely scan historical drawings, old blueprints, and sensitive documents without damage. The scanner's intelligent thickness detection automatically adjusts for varying document types.
How fast can I digitize a large set of blueprints?
Answer: At 8.9 inches per second in 200 dpi color mode, you can scan approximately 3 times more documents per day compared to typical wide-format scanners. For example, a standard D-size (24"x36") blueprint scans in approximately 4 seconds at 200 dpi, making it ideal for high-volume digitization projects.
What software integration is included?
Answer: The HD Ultra X 6050 includes NextImage 5.0 Repro software and the file output is compatible with AutoCAD, ESRI GIS systems, and other major CAD/design applications through ISIS and TWAIN drivers. This ensures seamless integration with your existing workflow and software ecosystem.
Does the scanner work with my existing HP or Canon plotters?
Answer: Yes, the HD Ultra X 6050 is designed to integrate with all major wide-format printer brands including HP DesignJet, Canon imagePROGRAF, and Epson plotters. The included software supports standard file formats (PDF, TIFF, JPEG) that work universally with printing systems.
