DESKO PENTA Scanner® 4X Cube
Powerful full-page scanner for OEM integration
Even better, even faster, even more efficient - with the brand-new PENTA Scanner 4X Cube, DESKO continues the success story of its established OEM product series. The device combines first-class PENTA functionality with a proven housing design that allows the flexible installation in self-service environments.
The PENTA Scanner 4X Cube impresses with state-of-the-art scanning technology - the device creates images with a resolution of up to 900 dpi. Combined with multiple light sources to reveal hidden security features, the PENTA Scanner 4X Cube takes document authentication to a new level of security. An innovative image sensor provides improved image capture and deeper image sharpness. The USB 3.0 connection transfers data 10x faster. This significantly streamlines workflows. For fast and efficient reading of 1D/2D barcodes, the PENTA Scanner 4X Cube can also be equipped with a barcode module.
The established DESKO OCR technology is of course also standard in the PENTA Scanner 4X Cube. Other optionally available features such as UV or coaxial light as well as a LAN interface (via Rest API) complete the device. Thus, you can assemble the PENTA Scanner 4X Cube completely according to your requirements.
Brilliant technology in a proven design
The DESKO PENTA Scanner® 4X Cube is the latest member of the worldwide successful Cube product line for OEM integration into kiosks, counters or gates.
The device impresses with its proven housing shape, which is ideally suited for integration into tight self-service environments, such as those found in the travel, hospitality or gaming sectors. Since the housing has not changed in size or shape, the PENTA Scanner 4X Cube can be easily incorporated into existing installations.
The scanner proves to be extremely robust: the scan window is made of tempered glass and the complete device is dust and water protected according to IP54 certification. Its user-friendliness, which is demonstrated on the one hand by the large scanning area and on the other hand by the immediate user feedback, makes it ideally suited for your self-service area. The PENTA Scanner 4X Cube has a buzzer as an acoustic signal as well as a multicolored LED, which provide highly visible feedback on the reading result.
