Overview

The CZUR ET18 Pro is an intelligent scanner designed for high-speed and efficient document digitization. It offers a new approach to scanning by incorporating advanced algorithms to handle various document types, particularly challenging ones like open books. The scanner's primary function is to convert physical documents into digital formats such as PDF, searchable PDF, TIFF, or text documents, making them easier to archive, share, and manage.

Function Description

The core function of the CZUR ET18 Pro is to scan and digitize documents with remarkable speed and accuracy. It features an 18-megapixel HD CMOS camera that captures high-resolution images. One of its standout capabilities is the automatic flattening of curved pages, which is particularly useful for scanning open books without damaging their spines. This is achieved through the use of three laser lines that project onto the document, allowing the scanner's software to accurately detect and correct page curvature.

The device also incorporates intelligent image processing functions to enhance scan quality and user convenience. These include automatic fingerprint removal, which detects and eliminates fingers used to hold down pages during scanning (especially when specialized finger cots are worn). It can automatically split double pages into two single pages, correct incorrectly positioned pages, and auto-crop images to the document's edges. This automation significantly reduces the time and effort typically required for post-processing scanned documents.

The ET18 Pro supports multiple operating modes to suit different user needs. In Computer Mode (USB-PC), the scanner connects to a PC via a USB cable, allowing users to control the scanning process through the CZUR software. This mode is recommended for larger projects, such as scanning multiple books or extensive documents, as it provides additional editing functions for professional image processing. The software offers choices for scanning, exporting, and batch processing, enabling users to refine scanned images, perform tilt corrections, and manage their digital library effectively.

The Visual Presenter Mode (USB-PC) allows the device to function as a visual presenter. By connecting the scanner to a computer via USB and then connecting the computer to a projector, users can display documents or objects in real-time, making it suitable for presentations, lectures, or demonstrations.

The Wi-Fi Mode offers wireless connectivity, allowing the scanner to operate independently without a direct USB connection to a computer. In this mode, users can control the scanner and view scan results through the CZUR app on their smartphone or tablet. The device connects to a Wi-Fi network (2.4G only) and uploads scanned images to the CZUR cloud server. This mode is ideal for quick scans and sharing, providing flexibility and mobility. The app allows users to manage their CZUR account, link and unlink scanners, add and delete user accounts, and transfer administrator authority, facilitating collaborative use.

Usage Features

The CZUR ET18 Pro is designed for ease of use, with several features that streamline the scanning process:

  • Quick Scanning: With a scanning speed of approximately 1.5 seconds per page, the ET18 Pro significantly reduces scanning time compared to traditional flatbed scanners.
  • Black Document Pad: A specialized black document pad is provided to ensure optimal scanning results. It must be spread under the scanner's head and cover the entire screen area visible on the LCD. This is crucial for the smart algorithms to function correctly, enabling accurate calculations for image processing, such as curvature flattening and edge detection.
  • Hand Button and Foot Pedal: The scanner includes both a hand button and a foot pedal, which can be plugged into the scanner's USB port. These accessories allow users to trigger scans without touching the main unit, enhancing efficiency and convenience, especially during continuous scanning tasks like digitizing books.
  • Specialized Finger Cots: To facilitate the fingerprint removal function, specialized finger cots are provided. Users are advised to wear these when holding down pages to ensure the algorithm effectively removes finger images from the scanned output.
  • Adjustable Lighting: The ET18 Pro features banks of LED lights and side lights. For scanning reflective materials like magazines or coated paper, users can switch on the side lights and turn off the main lights to achieve better results and minimize glare.
  • LCD Screen: An LCD screen on the scanner's head displays important information, such as connection status (e.g., "Connecting to CZUR," "Connected," "Disconnected"), user account status ("Ready," "User & Account," "No User"), and upload status when connected to a PC.
  • Scan Indicator Light: A red scan indicator light signals when scanning is in progress (red light on) and when a scan is complete (red light off), providing clear visual feedback.
  • Wi-Fi Indicator Light: This light indicates the Wi-Fi connection status (flashing green for searching, steady green for connected).
  • Multi-format Export: Scanned documents can be exported into various useful formats, including PDF, TIFF, WORD, EXCEL, and searchable PDF, catering to diverse needs for document management and accessibility.

Maintenance Features

While the CZUR ET18 Pro is built for reliability, certain aspects relate to its maintenance and troubleshooting:

  • Software Updates: The company reserves the right to issue subsequent upgrades or version updates for the product. Users are encouraged to check the official website for the latest software versions, especially for macOS users who need to download software directly from the website.
  • Troubleshooting Guides: The user manual provides comprehensive troubleshooting steps for common issues, such as problems with PC mode (USB) and Wi-Fi mode. These guides cover issues like the scanner not turning on, software installation failures, distorted images, SN errors, and connectivity problems.
  • Reset Functionality: The device includes "Reset Notes" buttons, which are primarily for maintenance purposes and not typically open for user access.
  • Environmental Considerations: The product is designed to be used in environments where surrounding temperatures are less than 40 °C. Operating the device outside specified work conditions (e.g., in excessively hot or humid places) can lead to failures or damage.
  • Power Connection: Ensuring a stable power supply and proper connection of the adapter is crucial for the scanner's operation. If the scanner doesn't turn on, checking the power connection and the on/off switch is the first troubleshooting step.
  • USB Connections: For PC mode, all USB connections, especially between the scanner and the PC, must be firm to ensure proper communication. Troubleshooting includes checking the PC's "Device Manager" for scanner recognition and updating drivers if necessary.
  • Anti-virus Software: Anti-virus or firewall software can sometimes interfere with the installation or operation of the CZUR software. Users may need to temporarily lower security levels or disengage such software during installation.
  • Clean Scanning Area: To ensure the algorithms work properly and prevent distorted images, it's important to keep the preview area clear of any interfering items like hands, cords, mobile phones, or pens. Only the document to be scanned should be within the scanning preview area.
  • Warranty and Service: The product comes with an after-sale service and guarantee, subject to the laws and regulations of the country of sales. The warranty covers the scanner device, adapter, hand button, and foot pedal, but excludes consumables and external appearances. Users are advised to contact the company or local agent for repairs and support. Unauthorized repairs or modifications, use of non-company components, and damage caused by natural disasters or improper storage are not covered under warranty.
