MDL has a new map scanner!

We have a new scanner (a ROWE Scan 850i), ready for you to come use! We've stress-tested it and are happy with the results.

Key features:

• Scans items up to 60" wide and up to approximately 3 cm tall
• Scans up to 1200 DPI - or even higher with interpolation
• Exports many file types, including TIFF, PDF, JPG, PNG, etc.
• Different settings for line drawings (e.g., blueprints), photographs, and mixed items (e.g., topographic maps)
• Adjustable settings including advanced options
• Edit images after scanning, including changing file type, adjusting brightness and saturation, cropping and deskewing

Note that this scanner cannot photocopy or print, but you can copy images to a thumb drive or upload them.

To access:

If you request a map, we can show you how to scan when you visit. Alternatively, if you have maps/drawings/large-format images of your own that you would like to scan, please book an appointment with us.
