Introduction:
OMNISCAN 5000TT - The Book Scanner A2 for Libraries and Archives
A new concept to scan or copy books and bound volumes 256 grey
scales and optional automatic image correction of the book curve
Until today, scanning or copying of books or bound volumes has been
cumbersome, time-consuming and was damaging the book spine. With stateof-the-art technology ZEUTSCHEL provides now a unique high performance
digitizing system OMNISCAN 5000 Table Top with high resolution accuracy
and reliability that will efficiently handle books.
It will reduce imaging/copying time and labor cost. Simply place a book or a
bound volume "face up" on the book cradle and you will digitize an image with
all details in seconds. The scan head captures the original "from the top". Via a
SCSI 2 Wide interface the digital images will be sent to a PC and be instantly
stored on a hard disk.
Then it can be written on a CD-ROM or transferred into a network. Optional, a
laser-printer can be directly connected for immediate printout of a hard copy.
Handling of books is convenient and easy: a well-designed ZEUTSCHEL book
cradle guarantees that the book spines are not damaged, no shadow area
appears at the book gutter and the script will appear without distortion. The
result is high productivity and preservation of the book.
The quality of digital images depends on the quality of the optical lens, the
built-in scanning technology and the precision of the mechanical/electronic
components.
The OMNISCAN 5000 Table Top scanner head was designed with a highresolution lens, a precision mechanism to drive the high-performance CCD
scan line, a 256 grey-scales feature and an optional electronic image
correction of the book curve to guarantee superior scanning results. This
means sharp and crisp images even from poor originals with low contrast, very
fine lines or variable background density.
Each captured image can then be processed with a powerful image
enhancement software (optional: contrast enhancement, rotation, deskew, despeckle, cut/mask, crop, etc.) Thus, poor originals can be improved to good
digital images and hard copies and the storage space will be reduced
considerably at the same time.

Working with the book cradle
The motorized book cradle grants the easy scanning of single or bound
documents without any compromise in quality. In order to grant you the most
flexibility you can select whether you want to scan with our without glass plate.
Scanning with glass plate:
There are 2 working modes.
Motorized mode
- The glass plate can be opened by pressing the foot pedal "Ï"
- For protection of the book spine the 2 self-adjusting book plates can be
moved to the left resp. right (max. book thickness 100mm).
- The glass plate can be closed by pressing the foot pedal "Ð"
- The glass plate will re-open automatically after the scan is finished if the
switch (14) - automatic glass plate opening - is in "ON" position.
In "OFF"-position the glass plate can be re-opened by foot pedal "Ï".
- Locking knob front (1) - after first positioning of a new book you can lock
the height adjustment of the book plate to the thickness of the book by
turning the lockning knob front (1) clockwise. In this case both book
platesare still self-adjusting but the thickness of the book is pre-selected. If
a new book with another book thickness has to be scanned the selfadjusting of the height of the book plates can be re-activated by turning
the locking knob front (1) counterclockwise.
Manual mode
- The glass plate has to be opened completely for the first time motorized by
pressing the foot pedal "Ï".
- From now on you can also close and re-open the glass plate manually. All
other functions are the same as described in the motorized mode.

Scanning without glass plate
The detaching of the glass plate can be done in a few seconds. You just have
to open the 2 screws at the rear side of the glass plate opening system and
you can easily pull out the complete glass plate frame incl. glass plate.
For re-installation simply push the glass plate frame back into its guidances
and secure it with the 2 screws.
The book plates can be locked in their positions by turning the locking knob
rear (2) clockwise. Simply position the book on the self-adjusting book plates
and push the book parallel down to the focus level (3) and lock the book
plates.
Document positioning and scaling
- The documents can be easily positioned "face-up" on the document table.
Press the footpedal "Ï" and the glass plate will be opened motorized. You
now can place the document on the book plates. For centering please watch
the centering marks printed on the book plates. For scanning books and to
protect the book spine please move the left book plate to the left resp. the
right book plate to the right as far as necessary. Press the footpedal "Ð" and
the glass plate will be closed and the book pages will be pressed from below
against the glass plate flat to grant the best scan result. The 2 book plates
are self-adjusting automatically.
- The scan area can be increased by moving the scan head up. At the same
time the scan resolution will be reduced. To move the scan head up please
open the the locking knob (8), push the scan head rest upwards, as far as
necessary and re-lock the new position.
- The scan area can be reduced by moving the scan head down. At the same
time the scan resolution will be increased. To move the scan head down
please open the the locking knob (8), push the scan head rest downwards,
as far as necessary and re-lock the new position.

The OS 5000TT can be used in 2 different operation methods:
1. scanning all kind of documents with 600, 400, resp. 300 dpi resolution.
max. scan area 600 dpi: DIN A4 (A-size)
max. scan area 400 dpi: DIN A3 (B-size)
max. scan area 300 dpi: DIN A2 (C-size)
Move the scan head in the height to position A4, A3, resp. A2 and the lens
scale to A4, A3, resp. A2 as well.
You can now scan all documents up to size DIN A4 with 600 dpi, up to size
DIN A3 (B-size) with 400 dpi resolution.resp. up to size DIN A2 (C-size) with
300 dpi resolution.
Documents smaller than the adjusted max. document size can be easily
masked with the OS8.0x-software (see separate operation manual OS 8.0x).
2. Scanning documents with maximum resolution i.e. up to DIN A4 with
600 dpi, DIN A3 with 400 dpi, resp. DIN A2 with 300 dpi.
For scanning documents up to size DIN A4 (A-size) position the scan head to
the height position "A4" and turn the lens scale to position "A4" as well.
You can now scan the document with the maximum resolution of 600 dpi.
Documents of not standard DIN-sizes can be can be scanned with maximum
resolution for each document by stepless up or down-movment of the scan
head.
For focusing please assure that the selected scale value at the lens and at the
column are always identical.
