Compact USB card scanner for ID and document capture

The Acuant ScanShell 2000NR is a USB-powered card scanner that uses a CMOS CIS sensor to capture images at 600 dpi optical resolution. It accepts media up to 8.5" x 14" and handles paper thickness from .1 mm to .6 mm. Internal 48-bit colour depth supports accurate reproduction of identification cards and small documents.

Verify USB port availability

Ensure the host system provides a standard USB connection for both data and power, as the unit draws 2.0 W during scanning and .2 W in standby. Confirm that the items you intend to scan fit within the 8.5" x 14" maximum document size and the .1 mm to .6 mm thickness range. The scanner measures 1.70" x 2.00" x 11.50" and weighs .74 lb.

Suits offices needing fast single-card

This scanner suits users who need a compact, bus-powered device for capturing ID cards, licences or similar media at up to 3 ppm in black and white or 1 ppm in colour. It is not designed for high-volume batch scanning, automatic document feeding, or media thicker than .6 mm. Buyers requiring network connectivity or larger format handling should consider other form factors.

Questions about this item

Does the ScanShell 2000NR SS2000NR come with a USB cable and software, or are they sold separately?

The scanner is supplied as hardware only; a USB cable and any required software must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the 600 dpi hardware resolution or the 600 x 1200 dpi hardware resolution for ID cards?

The device has a single optical resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi; the 600 dpi figure is the standard rating used for both monochrome and colour scans.

What does the 3 ppm black-and-white speed mean when I scan a stack of cards?

In practice the feeder processes about three cards per minute in monochrome mode, dropping to one per minute for colour, so a batch of ten cards takes roughly three to ten minutes depending on mode.
