Overview
The Contex IQ Quattro X 2490 is a 24-inch (approx) wide CIS scanner engineered for technical and small-format wide scanning tasks. It brings the advanced imaging and workflow capabilities of the IQ Quattro X line in a more compact footprint, ideal for architects, engineers, GIS users, and repro shops needing high precision in a smaller format.


Key Features & Benefits

  • Advanced CIS Imaging
    Uses Contex CleanScan CIS modules, enhanced with Color Fringe Removal (CFR) and real-time signal matching (SIGMA) to deliver clean lines, accurate color, and reduced artifacts.

  • Solid Speed & Throughput
    Capable of scanning at 14 inches per second (200 dpi, RGB) in both color and monochrome—balancing quality and productivity.

  • High Resolution Capture
    Offers optical capture up to 1,200 dpi, with interpolation up to 9,600 dpi for fine detail work when needed.

  • Compact Yet Versatile Width
    Scans originals up to 24 inches wide (media width up to ~26.6 inches), ideal for A1 / D-size documents, maps, and technical drawings.

  • Smart Connectivity & Workflow

    • Gigabit Ethernet with xDTR2 for fast network transfers

    • USB interface with advanced transfer technology

    • Pull / Push scanning enables shared access across teams

    • Integration with Nextimage software (scan, archive, repro, remote)

    • Cloud enablement for remote access and collaboration

    Designed with minimal thickness support (up to ~2 mm), optimized for standard paper or light board originals.
    Energy Star compliant with low power draw in standby mode.

  • Durability & Ease of Use
    With robust build, minimal moving parts, and no lamp maintenance, it’s reliable and easy to use in production environments.


Use Cases & Ideal Users

  • Small to medium architecture, engineering, or design firms scanning technical plans

  • GIS or mapping departments digitizing regional maps and datasets

  • Reprographic services handling smaller wide format scanning tasks

  • Offices or organizations needing a wide scanner but constrained by space

  • Archival or historical document digitization of moderate size originals
