The In’s and Out’s of the Microfilm Scanner

As the season approaches, it may be time to consider a scanner for your old microfilm that may not be clearly visible anymore. The microfilm scanner offers some many easy to use functions and prominently shows a clearer text and picture from your microfilm. Your library may be full of microfilm that customers and employees would love to continue using but if it’s not easily readable or easily retrievable without the chance of it being ruined then it could be sitting on shelves collecting dust and not being used the way it could be. The Mississippi Library Association has an annual conference that allows companies to demo their products, such as ScanPro microfilm scanners, in hopes that your company can use their products to support old microfilm and text that could otherwise not be read. One of our sales representatives, Jeff Shackelford, has been demoing the ScanPro i9300 at the 2018 Conference this week and has been able to show how easy it is to function and how visible the text really is with this one of a kind product.

Why the ScanPro is the best

You may have heard about these amazing products but you may not know why libraries, research facilities and universities are choosing these microfilm scanners. There are many things that set these products apart from others some like to call this the ScanPro difference. 

Microfilm Scanner Features & Benefits

Three main differentiators can be broken down into reliability, performance and ease-of-use. Business Systems and Consultants, Inc only partner with vendors who have reliable products and we can count on e-imageData to have just that. Reliability of the ScanPro starts with the initial construction of the actual product. The microfilm scanner is built with heavy gauge steel and use steel ball bearings for smooth operation. It is common to hear a scanner that has run millions of scans and still works like a brand new machine. The ScanPro microfilm scanner proves to keep its high performance throughout every scanning process. We know that customers want the hundredth scan to look just like the first scan did so we count on our machines to give you just that. Pure quality and high performance for accurate scans every time. These capabilities are what makes it possible to provide exceptional features like continual image focus, wide range optical zoom, automatic film scanning and library quiet operation, and all with exceptionally low power usage. You want a product that customers can easily manage and not cause problems or delays in their daily to-dos. The ScanPro microfilm scanner allows this and more. We know that reliability and performance are very important for a product in any industry but what about ease-of-use? When you have tens of hundreds of people using resources within a library you want to be sure you have a product that is easy to use for all customers.  The microfilm scanner software (PowerScan) is a Windows computer application with familiar icons and text labels to further reduce the learning curve for both occasional and first time users. The last thing you want is a frustrated customer using a product in the library. The film selection wizard can be accessed by one click to automatically set up your scanner for any microfilm application. Customizing this setting is easy and quick for any user. Research and look ups are done by the click of a button to quickly help new users and an on screen help menu is right at your finger tips so you never have to stress about not knowing how to scan your microfilm.
