As a touchscreen unit, Zeta virtually operates as an all-in-one with a PC tucked neatly away. Students are done in one-tenth the time compared with the old technology. They can scan, save to a thumb drive, and walk away.

What is an A3 Scanner?

An A3 scanner is a device made to scan bigger documents—up to A3 size, which is 11.7 by 16.5 inches. This size makes it handy for scanning things like books, artwork, historical documents, and big plans like those architects use. Crowley has a line of A3 overhead scanners aimed at libraries, archives, schools, and businesses, all needing precise, high-res digital copies of larger items.

Why Go for A3 Overhead Scanners?

Compared to regular flatbed scanners, A3 overhead scanners come with some serious perks. For one, their overhead setup lets them scan without making direct contact with the item—perfect for fragile stuff like old books or historic documents that might not handle rough treatment well. This design helps keep delicate originals in good shape, making A3 scanners a top pick for archiving and preserving important materials. Crowley’s A3 scanners also have tech to reduce shadows and distortion, so the scans come out crisp and clear without needing tons of extra editing.
