Overview

The Contex HD Ultra X 4290 ScanStation PRO combines the high image quality and media flexibility of the HD Ultra X series with an integrated touch station workflow module. It’s built for professional environments that demand fast, hands-on scanning, copying, filing, and archiving of large format documents in a streamlined, operator-friendly package.

Key Features & Benefits

Integrated Touch Station Interface
With its on-device touchscreen console, users can control scan workflows directly at the scanner — no need to walk to a separate workstation. This reduces downtime between jobs and boosts throughput.

Productivity & Throughput Focused
Designed for high-volume environments, the PRO version maximizes scanner usage by letting operators initiate, monitor, and manage tasks right from the unit. It enables fast job switching and less back-and-forth to PCs.

Optimized for Diverse Media
It can handle everything from thin plans to rigid board media — all in one session — thanks to its media adjustment capabilities and adaptive feeding technologies.

Smart Automation & Workflow Integration

  • Automatic size detection ensures that you don’t have to manually measure or select document sizes.

  • Preset workflows can be stored and invoked quickly, reducing operator error and ensuring consistency.

  • Supports push/pull scanning in networked workflows so multiple users can share the scanner easily.

Image Quality & Color Fidelity
It inherits the same advanced sensor and color processing tech as the standard HD Ultra X series, ensuring excellent detail, accurate colors, and minimal noise even in complex maps, drawings or artwork.

Space-Efficient Design
By combining scanner + touch console + stand in a compact footprint — it’s effectively a self-contained unit, which is ideal in production environments with limited floor space.

Ready for Archiving & Repro Workflows
The ScanStation PRO bundle is ideal for environments where scanning must integrate with downstream systems (CAD, GIS, digital archives). It supports standard file formats and aligns with professional reprographics workflows.

Ideal Use Cases & Target Users
  • Reprographics houses and copy shops handling very large jobs

  • Architectural, engineering, and surveying firms digitizing large sets of drawings

  • Government, municipal, and GIS agencies converting paper maps, plans and records

  • Archival institutions requiring a fast, hands-on scanner for large format objects

  • Print service providers integrating scanning, copying and archiving in one station
