Plustek SmartOffice S60 A3 Document Scanner

This is Plustek's heavy-duty A3 document scanner, built for departments and offices that need to digitize large-format ledgers, engineering drawings, and stacks of standard paperwork without slowing down. It uses dual CIS sensors to scan both sides of a page in a single pass at up to 64 ppm, with a 100-sheet ADF and an 18,000-sheet daily duty cycle. The trade-off? It's strictly a USB machine with no network or standalone PC-free operation, and it requires a fairly robust PC to handle those speeds. But if you need fast, reliable A3 scanning tethered to a workstation, it's a serious workhorse.
