Kodak Alaris Scanner Flatbed Accessory

The Kodak Alaris Scanner Flatbed Accessory unlocks a new dimension of versatility for your imaging workflow. Designed to attach seamlessly to compatible Kodak Alaris scanners, this compact flatbed turns your feeder-based device into a capable digitization platform for bound books, fragile documents, photographs, magazines, receipts, and other materials that don’t feed well through a traditional feeder. With a high-clarity glass surface, secure mounting, and optimized lighting, you can capture sharp, true-to-life reproductions that preserve details, color, and texture. Whether you’re digitizing archival materials, creating client-ready records, or building a comprehensive document library, this accessory helps you do it faster, more accurately, and with less manual handling.
