Film Scanners
There are two basic types of scanner for microforms: Reader-scanners for convenient
optical enlargement of one or more film formats on to a screen, which
incorporate an integral film scanner for low-volume conversion of film to
digital data; and high volume film scanners, often fully automated to enable
continuous throughput.

Digital Reader-Scanners
These units can optically enlarge an image from a microform and display
it on an integral screen. They are also
equipped with a scanner to digitise the film image for transmission and printout,
which is normally via a separate laser printer. Most units can be linked to
an Electronic Document Management system to permit input from microfilm in
small to medium volume. For higher volume input from microforms see Film
Scanners & Digitisers below. Where the company listed is not the
manufacturer, the actual manufacturer name, when known, is shown in italics.
These units differ from reader-scanners in that they are designed for
high volume input and may not have a viewing screen for optical enlargement,
although a method of viewing scanned output on a monitor is frequently
provided for quality control purposes.
