AVISION AVA5+ A5 Document Scanner

Overview of the AVISION AVA5+ A5 Document Scanner

The AVISION AVA5+ is a compact yet powerful flatbed and automatic document feeder (ADF) scanner designed for high‑resolution imaging of A5 sized documents. With its 1200 × 1200 dpi optical resolution, the device captures fine details in both color and grayscale, making it ideal for archival digitization, legal documentation, and everyday office use.

Key Design Features

• Compact Footprint: Width of only 275 mm and weight of 1.1 kg allow easy placement on a desk or in a small workspace.
• LED Lighting System: Provides uniform illumination across the scanning surface, reducing shadows and glare for crisp images.
• Contact Image Sensor (CIS): The CIS technology delivers high‑quality scans with minimal distortion while keeping power consumption low.
• Energy Star Certified: Meets stringent energy efficiency standards, consuming only 11 W during operation and 5–6 W in standby or powersave modes.
• Versatile Color Depth: Supports up to 48‑bit color depth for input and output, with 16‑bit grayscale (64K levels) for black‑and‑white documents.

Scanning Capabilities

The AVA5+ is engineered to handle a maximum of 1000 scan operations per day, ensuring reliability in high‑volume environments. Its scanning area matches the A5 standard: 148 mm × 210 mm (5.8 in × 8.3 in). The device offers:

• Flatbed Mode: Ideal for single‑page documents, photographs, and delicate items.
• ADF Mode: Supports a single‑sheet feed, allowing quick batch scanning of up to 1000 pages daily.
• No Duplex Capability: Designed for single‑sided scans; double‑side scanning is not supported.

Resolution and Image Quality

The scanner’s optical resolution of 1200 × 1200 dpi ensures that even the smallest typographic details are captured accurately. Combined with a 48‑bit color depth, images retain rich tonal variation and vibrant colors. The CIS sensor provides:

• High Signal‑to‑Noise Ratio: Minimizes graininess in low‑light conditions.
• Fast Scan Speed: Approximately 3 seconds per scan, balancing speed with image fidelity.
