Description
WideTEK 48CL – Fastest 48 Inch Color CIS Scanner WT48CL-600-BDL 2
WideTEK 48CL delivers production-grade speed and image accuracy for organizations that scan large documents every day. Built in Germany for demanding environments, this 48 inch color CIS scanner is engineered to minimize operator time while maintaining exceptional sharpness and color consistency.
Designed as a true standalone scanning system, the WideTEK 48CL includes its own integrated 64-bit Linux computer powered by Scan2Net technology. Users can scan directly to network destinations, USB drives, FTP, hot folders, or supported cloud endpoints without requiring a separate PC.
Why Choose the WideTEK 48CL
When speed matters, WideTEK 48CL leads the category. It scans up to 10 inches per second in full color at 150 dpi, and scanning speeds increase to 15 inches per second in black and white or grayscale. For high-resolution capture, the scanner still achieves approximately 0.83 inches per second at full 48 inch width and 1200 dpi, making it ideal for production environments that cannot compromise quality.
Production Scanning Speed with CIS Precision
WideTEK 48CL combines high-speed CIS capture with extraordinarily sharp output and strong color accuracy. Document rotation happens on the fly, and the scanner performs automatic crop and deskew so files are ready faster with fewer rescans.
A scan of an E-size or A0 document in landscape at 300 dpi can be completed in under 7 seconds, with additional time for crop, deskew, preview, and storage completed immediately afterward.
Standalone Scan2Net System with Walk-Up Operation
The WideTEK 48CL is built for easy deployment and everyday use. Operators can scan from the integrated touchscreen or from any browser using ScanWizard. It supports walk-up scanning to USB 3.0, network scanning via SMB and FTP, and copy-to-printer functions.
Remote management and firmware updates are handled through the web interface, reducing support overhead for IT teams.
Gentle Handling for Valuable Documents
For fragile or valuable originals, scanning speed can be limited to reduce stress on the document. Face-up scanning, a smooth paper path, and dust-protected optical components help maintain consistent results while protecting archival content.
