Extra Speed + New Sharpshooter™ CCD Camera Technology + Onboard VRS = Performance without Compromise.
With scanning speeds up to 140 pages per minute, our new best-of-breed SharpShooter TriLinear CCD Camera, and Onboard Virtual Rescan™ (VRS) technology, Spectrum XF offers the best combination of features you’ll find in a high-volume production scanner. Spectrum XF provides all of the “extra” benefits you want – extra throughput, extra efficiency, extra OCR, ICR and Barcode recognition – without the extra cost.

SharpShooter™
CCD Camera Technology

Spectrum XF proves that going faster doesn't mean you have to sacrifice image quality.  The state-of-the-art tri-linear camera design - with one line per red, green and blue - ensures images at a finer level of detail in bitonal and grayscale and in more vivid color. 

Unmatched speed and image quality:

  • 600 dpi optical capture
  • 7,500 pixel capture per line
  • 22,500 total pixel capture
  • 40 mega pixel-per-second throughput

Better image quality also means higher accuracy for OCR, ICR and barcode recognition, a terrific advancement for forms processing applications.

All Spectrum models handle up to 500 sheets of paper at a time, from 2.60" x 2.60" (66 mm x 66 mm) up to 11.70" x 40" (297 mm x 1016 mm), with optical resolution ranging from 100 to 400 dpi (dots per inch).

Onboard VirtualReScan VRS 4.0 Plus Bundle: Maximize Efficiency without the Trade-Offs
Why is “Onboard VRS” important? An onboard implementation of VRS is the best way to take full advantage of the image enhancement and interactive problem resolution functionality that VRS has to offer without sacrificing scanning speed. Spectrum XF features onboard VRS, which means that each model has a VRS board built in. It’s like having a PC inside your scanner, helping to drive performance and processing time with optimal speed and efficiency.

Other manufacturers promote using VRS with their scanners but deliver disappointing results. Why? Scanners with software-based VRS have to sacrifice a measure of speed to accommodate image enhancement capabilities, particularly when scanning duplex, in color or both. In addition, scanners that were not built with VRS in mind may encounter problems because connectivity between the scanner and VRS has not been optimized.

Because Böwe Bell + Howell was the first manufacturer to implement Onboard VRS as a standard feature over five years ago with the Copiscan 8000 Plus, no one has done it longer and no one does it better.

With Spectrum XF and Onboard VRS, you can have advanced speed and improved productivity at the same time, on one system - now that's performance without compromise.

Advanced Color Dropout: Exceptional Forms Processing

Spectrum XF allows users to drop out any color – not just red, green, or blue. Great for users who want to drop out unnecessary color backgrounds altogether while capturing color information in the foreground.
Onboard Auto Color Detect: Color When You Want It, Bitonal When You Don't, Without the Speed Tradeoffs

Even if only a few of your documents need to be scanned in color, the advantages of Onboard Auto Color Detect are unmistakable.

By correctly identifying color documents from bitonal documents automatically, the time needed for scanning can be reduced by up to 60% over other methods. And with ACD performed onboard in Spectrum XF, you won't have to sacrifice scanner speed to utilize it, which would negate the very productivity gains yielded by ACD.

Negative Inversion: Versatile Scanning

A great feature for scanning microfilm printouts, allowing users to convert black to white and vice versa when scanning images printed on paper that has a black or almost-black background.

Note: all BBH scanners come with a built-in parts and labor warranty, including guaranteed on-site service within 72 hours in the U.S.
