Book Scanning
Plustek’s OpticBook A300 Plus is built with a spacious scanning area that can take up different types of colour document sizes such as books, bound texts, A3-sized documents, and other media less than A3-size. It uses an ECO-friendly, low-light, LED light source that scans without the need for a warmup.

Scans Text Close to Book Spine
With the integrated mechanical, optical, and software technology, you can scan texts that are close to the book spine without distortion. The OpticBook A300 Plus is built with a 2 mm Book-Edge design that helps scan clear text and images without the presence of shadow, eliminating the need to remove pages from book spines.
