Contex IQ Quattro 2490

Overview
The Contex IQ Quattro 2490 is a 24-inch wide CIS scanner built for technical, reprographics, and production settings that demand high fidelity and flexible workflows. It offers a compact footprint without sacrificing the imaging power or connectivity needed to digitize architectural drawings, maps, schematics, and other medium to large format documents.

Key Features & Benefits

Advanced CIS Imaging
Uses Contex CleanScan CIS modules with Color Fringe Removal (CFR) and signal matching for clean, precise scans with minimal artifacts—especially valuable for line drawings and maps.
Balanced Speed & Throughput
Offers scanning speeds of up to ~14 inches per second in both color and monochrome at 200 dpi, making it efficient for frequent use while maintaining image quality.
High Resolution Capture
Delivers sharp detail with 1,200 dpi optical resolution and supports interpolation up to higher levels for projects needing additional detail.
Professional Connectivity & Sharing
Equipped with Gigabit Ethernet (with xDTR2) and USB interfaces, allowing seamless integration into office or repro center networks. Multiple users can share the scanner over the network (push/pull workflows).
Smart Workflow Tools
Offers scan presets, auto-crop and deskew, intelligent naming schemas, and compatibility with Nextimage software to support archiving, repro, and remote workflows.
Compact, Reliable & Energy Efficient
Designed for lighter media (up to ~2 mm thick) in a low-maintenance build. Its low power standby mode reduces operational energy usage, and it’s built to deliver consistent performance in busy environments.

Ideal Use Cases & Target Users

Small to medium architecture, engineering, or design offices digitizing plan sets
GIS, mapping, and surveying teams handling regional maps and layouts
Reprographic or scanning businesses providing client scanning services
Institutions, libraries, and archives preserving wide-format technical or historical documents
Work environments needing reliable, compact wide-format scanning with professional results
