Contex IQ Quattro X 3690

Overview
The Contex IQ Quattro X 3690 is a 36-inch wide CIS scanner designed for professional technical and production workflows. It balances speed, image quality, and workflow adaptability — aimed at users digitizing architectural drawings, engineering plans, maps, and other large-format documents.

Key Features & Benefits

• Fast Scanning Speeds
  Delivers up to 17.8 inches per second (RGB, 200 dpi), enabling high throughput in busy environments.

• High Image Fidelity
  Employs 48-bit CIS imaging to capture rich color details and smooth gradients. Optical resolution is 1200 dpi, with higher interpolated magnification available.

• Live Alignment & Smart Calibration
  Automatically adjusts sensor alignment dynamically during scanning to maintain sharpness and accuracy across the width.

• USB 3.0 & Gigabit Connectivity
  Uses modern interfaces (USB 3.0 with xDTR3 and Gigabit Ethernet) for fast data transfer and networked scanning capabilities.

• Adjustable Speed Levels
  Offers multiple speed modes (e.g. slower scan modes for delicate originals), giving the operator control without switching software settings.

• Workflow Integration
  Supports push/pull scanning across networks, preset scan profiles, auto-crop/deskew, and interoperability with advanced software like Nextimage.

• Energy-Efficient & Quiet Operation
  Certified to Energy Star standards, with low standby power consumption. Its design minimizes mechanical movement and noise.

Ideal Use Cases & Users

• Architecture, engineering, and construction firms converting large drawing sets

• Reprographic and scanning bureaus needing fast, consistent technical scans

• GIS and mapping agencies digitizing spatial documents

• Archives, libraries, and institutions preserving large-format technical originals

• Environments where reliability, throughput, and scan quality must converge
