Contex has launched the IQ FLEX flatbed scanner able to scan A2 / C-size originals of any size or shape, or documents up to A1 / D-size, and unlimited thickness with an accuracy of 0.1% +/- 1 pixel and six-second scanning speeds.

The flatbed scanner makes it easy to digitally capture books, fragile documents, textiles, artwork and more. The IQ FLEX can save files in standard file formats or raster format for use in any CAD or GIS application such as AutoCAD, Microstation, and ArcGIS.

It also includes a 64-bit TWAIN application driver for use with EDM and other imaging software.

Scanned images can be archived or shared via network PCs, email, cloud, or USB. Users can also send files to print using the preinstalled HP, Canon, EPSON print drivers.

The IQ FLEX is claimed to be the only WiFi-enabled large format flatbed scanner with speeds up to 150 Mbps.

There are three options for operating the IQ FLEX flatbed which includes a built-in controller with a 7-inch touch screen to operate, edit, annotate and markup scans, without the need for a CPU.

For more advanced scanning and editing options, users can add a CPU with Contex’s NextImage scanning software. Users can also operate the scanner using their smart device with Contex’s rainforest365 app.
