ScanOS Version 3.1.4, large format scanning software from IDEAL (Rockville, MD) adds extra functionality to IDEAL/Contex scanners by letting users create an automatic searchable database for their scanned images. The software has customized indexing, full-screen prescan, and on-the-fly settings.

Version 3.1.4 features an updated GUI, improved contrast control for grayscale scanning, and updated 7.0 PDF read and write. In addition, ScanOS 3.1.4 supports collated printing and offers a high-quality exposure setting to aid in scanning “noisy” drawings.
