## Description

Review: SV600 resolution and scanning tips - I am happy with this SV600 overhead scanner. Max optical resolution of this scanner is 600 dpi. Due to the distance from the scanner to the object, it can be achieved only if the object (book, poster, etc) is really flat and les than 5mm thick. For open book this is not possible (some distortion exists between the open pages). However 300 dpi JPG (compression 2 out of three levels) produces very good results for illustrated book scanning (scanning simultaneously two pages of an open book). The software which corrects middle page curvature, is not very effective for thick books. In such case better press the open book with anti-reflex glass plate. The 300 dpi resolution is almost equal at the middle and the periphery of the object. Having on mind that the object can be a bit larger than A3 size, this is very good. The colours are close to reality, but you have to scan in a relatively dark room (only with low-power side-light). Considering changing of geometry (placing the object close to the scanner head) - this will not work, as the focusing distance has only small variation. Due to the fixed focusing distance the company specifies that one cannot scan a book thicker than 3cm. If the book is thicker defocussing appear and he only solution is to lift the scanner on a small pedestal over the book in order to keep the specific focusing distance. Hope this helps.
Review: Brilliant product! - Love the ease of use and the quality of scans. Also love the way it can straighten up a page that has been put in slightly off centre!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am looking to scan the odd document very quickly.  pfu support said to get in touch.  how do i get in touch? what mobile scanner had you in mind?**
A: You can get in touch with the PFU support through the Fujitsu website or the ScanSnap one. If you do not know the website, you can just write in your browser "Fujitsu scanner contact support". They will be able to help you choose the right scanner for you.

**Q: Will this work with Mac OS 11.2.1?**
A: Not sure, the Mac that i'm using it on is running version 10.15.7 and it's fine.

Sorry I can't be anymore helpful than that.

**Q: Is it possible to download set-up programs and drivers since i don't have dvd slot on laptop...**
A: I don’t know. I used the cd that was with it and it took like two phases of downloading and in the next two days there were further updates and other downloading. It is a good scanner for scanning books. Not so efficient for scanning papers.

**Q: What is the format of the output files?**
A: The output format for scans can be either pdf or jpg.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The SV600 is a fine piece of equipment for those serious about scanning books
*by D***Y on 7 September 2016*

The SV600 is a fine piece of equipment for those serious about scanning books. Some practice is required to minimise the amount of post-processing. The software that isolates the book opening from the whole image is quite particular about how the book is positioned. I've found that the setting which causes the scan to be triggered by page-turning does not work particularly well; I prefer the timer. Eliminating fingers from the image for any lengthy scan is better done by cropping, e.g. with Acrobat or Preview. Nevertheless the SV600 makes it practical to scan in a small library, book by book. It is expensive but well worth the price.
