Flatbed Scanners

• Facedown scanning places stress on bindings
  
  
• Books must be lifted to change pages
  
  
• Images are distorted near the page binding

Overhead Scanners

• Books must be fully opened to 180 degrees
  
  
• Center of book creeps as pages are turned creating margin crawl
  
  
• Images suffer from curved text lines

Copystand with Cradle

• Books are opened on a v-shaped cradle and gently sandwiched under platen
  
  
• Cradle and platen keep pages flat and eliminate margin crawl
  
  
• Two cameras simultaneously capture sharp, curvature-free images
