A3 book-edge capture with 600dpi CCD optics
A3 / 300 × 432mm600dpi optical CCDSlanted book edgeUSB 3.2 Gen 1
The Avision FB6380E is an A3 book-edge flatbed scanner for books, drawings and large documents. Its slanted front platform helps position a book page flat near the spine, while a CCD sensor and LED illumination provide 600dpi optical capture over a 300 × 432mm area. USB 3.2 connects it to a compatible computer and the supported capture software.
Best For: Libraries, offices, design teams and users manually digitising suitable bound originals or large pages that should not pass through a document feeder.
Before you order: Release the rear transport lock before use. Connect the supplied external power adapter and USB cable, and install compatible current drivers. Place and turn book pages manually. The book-edge design helps placement but does not guarantee every binding can be scanned without shadows or handling risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it feed a stack automatically?
No. This is a flatbed scanner. You place originals and turn book pages manually.
Is 1200dpi the optical resolution?
No. Optical capture is 600dpi; the manufacturer lists output up to 1200dpi.
Can I scan near a book spine?
The slanted book edge helps a suitable page lie flatter near the spine. Results depend on the original and careful placement; do not force fragile bindings.
Does the two-second example cover the whole workflow?
No. The current global specification and newer brochure give a colour A3 scan example at 300dpi. Page positioning, transfer, software processing and the complete cycle can take additional time.
Singular Expert Insight
Plan book capture around safe handling and consistent page placement. Test a representative spread, check margins and shadows, then select a resolution that fits the required output. The scanner’s optical specification and scan-time example are useful guides, but page turning and quality review often determine the practical pace.
