CZUR ET-18 Pro Overhead Book & Document Scanner

Fast book scanning without damaging the original

The ET-18 Pro is designed for users who need to scan books and documents quickly without using a flatbed scanner or cutting the spine from a book. The overhead design captures pages from above, while CZUR’s software automatically improves the scanned result.

The scanner uses laser-assisted curve detection to understand the shape of book pages, then applies Curve Flattening Technology™ to reduce curvature and output cleaner, flatter page images. It can also split facing pages, remove visible fingers, correct alignment and process scans into different export formats.

The ET-18 Pro is a strong mid-range choice in the ET Series, offering higher resolution than ET16 Plus while remaining simple, fast and practical for book and document scanning. Other ET models are available for customers who need even higher camera resolution, higher DPI, HDMI visual presenter output or more professional workflows. This page keeps the full ET Series comparison so customers can choose the most suitable model.

HDMI visual presenter support on ET24 Pro and ET25 Pro

Customers who need higher FPS visual presenter use for online classes, demonstrations or presentations may prefer the ET24 Pro or ET25 Pro. These models add HDMI visual presenter support, while ET18 Pro remains a strong choice for higher-resolution book and document scanning without needing HDMI output.

Visual presenter use for teaching, training, online classes and meetings.

Balanced lighting and visual presenter capability

The ET Series lighting system includes overhead LED light bars and an attachable side light. The side light is designed to reduce reflections and shadows when scanning glossy originals such as magazines, photos or coated documents.

With the built-in camera and microphone, ET Series scanners can also be used as visual presenters for sharing documents, prototypes, worksheets and other materials from an overhead perspective.

Side light helps reduce reflections on glossy originals.

CZUR app support for compatible smart CZUR devices and workflows.
