What Image Access technology is

Image Access scanning technology is designed for the controlled digitization of materials that require precision handling and consistent image output.

This includes:

• Bound materials such as books and manuscripts
• Oversized documents such as maps and technical drawings
• Fragile or high-value originals
• Photographs, artwork, and mixed media

The systems are used in environments where document condition, format, and long-term usability must be considered during capture.

How Image Access scanning works

Image Access solutions support a structured capture process:

• Documents are captured using hardware designed for specific material types
• Image processing takes place within the scanning system
• Files are generated in standardized formats
• Output is delivered to network locations or integrated platforms

This approach ensures predictable output across users, devices, and locations.

The output can be integrated with capture and processing solutions to support classification, metadata extraction, and archiving.

Why Image Access technology is used

Organizations select Image Access systems where stable and controlled digitization is required.

Scan2Net® platform

All Image Access scanners operate on the Scan2Net platform. This is a self-contained capture environment that removes the need for external drivers or client software.

It enables:

• Browser-based access
• Touchscreen operation
• Direct file delivery to network locations
• On-device image processing and adjustment

This ensures consistent configuration and output across environments.
