7. Scanner Connectionadd chapter
Since the release of V6.4. BCS-2 Office und Professional the scanner plugins of the most common scanners are included in BCS-2. Scanner plugins use functions which are provided by the respective manufacturers via APIs or DLLs and are then integrated into the BCS-2 interface by ImageWare.
Due to the variety of scanner models and firmware versions, we cannot make any general promises regarding the scan functions of individual scanner models.
On request, we therefore provide customers with a current BCS-2 Office test license, so that they can test BCS-2 with existing or desired scanners.
Current reference devices for testing scanner connections for new versions are
- Book scanner: Bookeye-5 A2
- Flatbed scanner : Plustek OpticBook PT4800
- Flow Scanner: RICOH fi-8170 A4 Duplex (70 pages) with ADF
