DESKO Elephant Foil® ==================== ### How to keep your scanners’ glass flawless. For life. Quality and durability have top priority at DESKO. That's why we equip the scanners of our PENTA family with robust Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3. And for applications with particularly high demands, we at DESKO are now going a step further: The DESKO Elefant Foil® protects your scanner from wear and scratches and ensures that the scan window of your device remains in top condition even during continuous operation and countless scanning processes per day. Just as natural as the screen protection for your smartphone - only for your scanner. ![Grey elephant head next to a passport scanner from DESKO. The scanner is covered with a transparent foil.](https://www.desko.com/site/assets/files/15358/header_mailing_elephant-foil.1000x0.jpg) Add extra protection to your scanner. From the very beginning. -------------------------------------------------------------- If you decide for the DESKO Elephant Foil, our scanners are already equipped with it before delivery. This means that your device is perfectly protected right from the start. If the foil needs to be replaced in the course of using the device, this can be done easily and cost-effectively: you order a new foil kit from us and replace the foil yourself. ![Drawing of a passport scanner with unprotected glass surface.](https://www.desko.com/site/assets/files/15413/desko_ef_glasscheibe.png) ### 1. Scanner glass without foil ![Drawing of a DESKO passport scanner onto which a transparent film is affixed.](https://www.desko.com/site/assets/files/15414/desko_ef_aufziehen_folie.png) ### 2. Apply foil on glass plate ![Zeichnung eines DESKO Reisepassscanners, auf dem eine durchsichtige Folie aufgeklebt wurde.](https://www.desko.com/site/assets/files/15415/desko_ef_glasscheibe-mit-folie.png) ### 3. Glass with foil - perfect protection! The advantages of the DESKO Elephant Foil ----------------------------------------- #### Low maintenance costs If necessary, only the foil needs to be replaced and not the entire glass panel. This reduces the costs of a repair enormously. #### No downtimes No need to send in the device, no downtimes. The foil can be changed directly on site. #### Maximum protection without restrictions The scan function remains fully intact. #### Flexible and cost-effective Protective foils are cheaper and more versatile than an additional glass plate. #### Ideal for kiosk integration Even with integrated devices, only the foil needs needs to be changed, not the entire device. Additional protection even in OEM environments ---------------------------------------------- In the OEM environment, every glass replacement of an ID card scanner installed in a kiosk or e-gate means additional work. This is because the device has to be removed before the new glass plate can be inserted. With the DESKO Elephant Foil, you can save the time and effort of removing and installing the glass in most cases: the foil provides additional and long-lasting protection for the safety glass against scratches and damage. If a replacement is required, it can be done quickly and easily on site with a new foil kit. Simply remove the old foil and apply the new foil. It´s super easy. ![The name ](https://www.desko.com/site/assets/files/15366/element_1-100.jpg) Product recommendations ----------------------- #### [DESKO PENTA Scanner® 4X Cube](https://www.desko.com/en/products/overview/desko-penta-scanner-4x-cube.md) Passport and ID scanner [![DESKO PENTA Scanner® 4X Cube](https://www.desko.com/site/assets/files/8692/desko_penta-scanner_4x-cube_vorschaubild.jpg)](https://www.desko.com/en/products/overview/desko-penta-scanner-4x-cube.md) [learn more](https://www.desko.com/en/products/overview/desko-penta-scanner-4x-cube.md) #### [DESKO PENTA Scanner® 4X](https://www.desko.com/en/products/overview/desko-penta-scanner-4x.md) Passport and ID scanner [![DESKO PENTA Scanner® 4X](https://www.desko.com/site/assets/files/9626/desko_penta-scanner_4x-2023_teaser.jpg)](https://www.desko.com/en/products/overview/desko-penta-scanner-4x.md) [learn more](https://www.desko.com/en/products/overview/desko-penta-scanner-4x.md) #### [DESKO ICON Scanner®](https://www.desko.com/en/products/overview/desko-icon-scanner.md) Passport and ID scanner [![DESKO ICON Scanner®](https://www.desko.com/site/assets/files/1195/desko_icon-scanner2.jpg)](https://www.desko.com/en/products/overview/desko-icon-scanner.md) [learn more](https://www.desko.com/en/products/overview/desko-icon-scanner.md)
