The Imagedirect 665 scanner was designed and built by Heidelberg. It features the rugged, industrial-strength design that Heidelberg customers have come to expect.
The scanner offers a unique combination of features that delivers superior image quality and production:
- True 600 dpi. The Imagedirect 665 scans 600x600 dpi at the full speed of 65 pages per minute, while many current offerings claiming to deliver 600 dpi actually "down scan" at resolutions of 400 dpi to deliver their fastest scanning speeds.
- High uptime. The rugged design helps the scanner achieve dramatic improvement over existing document scanners in production uptime by reducing work stoppage and expanding service intervals.
- Best-in-class imaging. The scanner employs Heidelberg's patented image processing technology to preserve detail and deliver high-quality images for compound image types. It enables outstanding text and line art reproduction over a broad range of magnifications - from 25 to 400 percent - and supports one-bit and eight-bit imaging modes.
- Outstanding registration. The 665 controls registration automatically by measuring the orientation of each page and registering its image through real-time processing. Users can receive outstanding registration at full speed.
- 100-sheet capacity. The scanner employs a 100 sheet (80 g/m2) feeding tray.
- Versatile paper handling. The scanner handles duplex jobs and accepts a comprehensive range of paper stocks and weights.
- Multi-feed correction. In the unlikely event of a multiple feed, the scanner automatically detects it at the moment it happens. Corrective action can then be taken to keep workflow moving.
