Bridging the gap between expensive production-level book and large format scanners and the needs of smaller-volume users – or those who don’t need detailed editing functions – are the new breed of digital book copiers from Zeutschel and S-T Imaging. Ideally suited for walk-up patrons, records management operations and low-end archival preservation, these scanner – copiers are fast replacing traditional paper copiers with their expanded offerings:


  • Available for a limited time, at an Introductory Price under $10,000
  • Energy and space efficient – units are sized for desktop
  • Intuitive – unprecedented ease-of-use with touch-screen interface
  • Green – no or reduced paper, toner and ink usage
  • Output to USB, email, printer and – coming soon – cloud services
  • High image quality
  • Fast copy/scan speeds
  • Ultra-quiet operation
  • Lower physical maintenance requirements
  • Simple installation
  • Ability to add “pay as you go” features – particularly important in student, library and clerk of court settings
  • Interlibrary Loan (ILL) compatible

Brand new to the market, the Zeutschel zeta is a multi-functional device for digitizing and copying books and bound documents. The compact, stylish design, attractive price (base unit starts at under $10,000), easy usability and high level of functionality are just part of the scan systems’ appeal. Bound materials are scanned from above, reducing binding stress and enhancing the durability up to 300% over the lifetime of the material. This translates into long-term savings. With a scan area greater than A3, the Zeutschel zeta includes a multi-touch pad which offers easy instruction, a preview function which helps reduce paper/ink costs on faulty copies and intelligent control software that corrects typical copy errors such as crooked pages, irregular lighting and distorted letters in the book folds.

Unpack, Switch On, Get Started

Historical books, new books, magazines, files, ring binders, contracts, balance sheets or land-use plans – there is almost nothing that you cannot capture or copy with the new zeta. But it doesn’t just deliver excellent data, it also looks pretty good and is incredibly easy to operate. That makes the zeta the ideal multifunctional system for scanning and copying in libraries, archives, universities and schools. But authorities, copy shops, banks, insurance companies, solicitor’s offices and media companies also quickly appreciate the performance of this compact office aid. The perfect completion of an up-to-date office.

How to plug’n’scan

Simply unpack the device, plug it in, put in the original document and off you go. The new zeta delivers high-quality data with the highest resolution in no time flat. You have free choice for data output. You can check, print or mail your data, save it on the USB stick, send it to your Follow-me application or provide it for download via FTP. This is how you save paper and help protect the environment today.

Perfectly straight, not crooked or askew

Kafka would have been delighted because the book is on its back with zeta and is scanned very carefully from the top. Simply turn the page after every scan. Distorted letters in the book fold or bent plots are automatically straightened by the software, as are original documents that are positioned crookedly. You can preview each scan on the high resolution touch screen display. Faulty scans are a thing of the past. You have a choice of the new zeta with or without convenient book cradle.
But don’t just listen to us – discover the new zeta for yourself. Because scanners never looked better. Neither did your scans.
