The ScanRobot SR301 has a claimed operating speed of 2400 pages per hour. The book scanner scans two pages at once and turns the pages automatically using a vacuum to pick up the pages and using an air flow to turn the pages. If a book is opened by 180° for the digitization often the binding becomes broken. To avoid such damage the ScanRobot uses a wooden made book cradle with a 60° opening angle. In this way the books are handled carefully, avoiding stress in the binding.

The build in ScanGate software is used for the digitising of books.
