This is a Mekel M560 microfiche scanner. The machine is working, but needs to be configured. The onboard PC needs a battery replacement for the BIOS. If you boot the machine and reset the BIOS to enable the interface port the unit will power on and will be recognized by the host PC and throw no error codes. The machine comes complete with a Dell 4500 PC loaded with Win98 (re-install disc included) and original Mekel and Amitech software install discs as well as the interface card and the cable. At current the PC is configured and if you reset the BIOS on power up will function with both applications (Mekel and Amitech) provided you load the correct driver (both included) for the chosen application. The unit is turnkey and functional, but needs to be configured for scanning. It will load fiche and prescan and I have gotten good quality scans hand scanning. I purchased the machine 2 years ago for $4,000.00 to run a project which turned out to be jumbo fiche when it arrived. The Mekel M560 does not support jumbo fiche scanning. As a result the unit sat around for about 2 years at which time the onboard PC battery expired requiring the BIOS re-set if the machine is not powered on regularly. This problem is readily fixed by replacing the $5.00 battery on the motherboard. As to the configuration, I haven't done one from scratch, I have done limited reconfiguration but not from scratch setup. If you know how to do this, then this is the machine for you. If you DO NOT know how to do this, I highly recommend contacting a professional service company readily available by a Google search to configure the machine for use. The machine is in very good cosmetic and mechanical condition and had I put it directly into production on arrival probably would have functioned beautifully. The machine will require LTL freight shipping, it will not ship UPS or Fed Ex. There is a $50.00 crating charge to cover lumber. You can choose your own carrier or I routinely utilize R&L Carriers, I will be happy to provde a freight quote. I am also open to local pickup and will be willing to deliver the machine within 100 miles of Central Florida or meet in mutually agreeable location.
