Epson DS-51000WN A3 Network Flatbed Document Scanner B11B277201

The Epson DS-51000WN A3 Network Flatbed Document Scanner B11B277201 is designed for businesses, offices, libraries, archives, schools and other organizations that need to scan oversized, bound, fragile or specialty documents.

Featuring a large 11″ x 17″ A3 flatbed, built-in Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB connectivity, a 4.3-inch color touchscreen, and convenient PC-free scanning, the DS-51000WN offers excellent flexibility for shared workgroup environments.

Its flatbed design makes it especially useful for scanning books, photographs, drawings, oversized documents and delicate originals that should not be fed through a traditional sheet-fed scanner.

Epson DS-51000WN A3 Network Flatbed Scanner

The Epson DS-51000WN provides large-format scanning in a versatile flatbed design.

The scanner can capture originals up to approximately 11.7″ x 17″, allowing users to scan large documents without folding or reducing them. Its 600 dpi optical resolution provides detailed reproduction of text, graphics and images.

Because this is a flatbed scanner, originals remain stationary on the scanner glass while scanning takes place. This makes the DS-51000WN well suited for books, photographs, fragile documents and other materials that should not pass through rollers.
