Guinness World Records Validates Longest Document Scan
The Truper 3600, a low-volume production scanner, processed a continuous single-page document for one hour, 17 minutes, and 22 seconds.

By Antone Gonsalves, InformationWeek February 29, 2008 ...a leap year report!!!

The record for the longest document scan at nearly three-quarters of a mile has been set and certified, scanner manufacturer Bowe Bell & Howell on Friday said.

The Truper 3600, a low-volume production scanner, was used to scan a document measuring 3,875 feet. A Guinness World Records judge validated the feat, which took one hour, 17 minutes, and 22 seconds, and was conducted Feb. 25 in Orlando, Fla., at the HIMSS Conference, the health care IT industry's largest annual event.

In order to set the record, BBH had to perform an uninterrupted scan on a single page, storing the results in a continuous file. The original document had to be made out of paper. The document used was a custom-made fetal monitor strip.

Gareth Deaves, a judge for Guinness World Records, traveled from London to validate the record. "We are pleased to recognize Bowe Bell and Howell as new Guinness World Record holders for the longest scanned document at 3,875 feet," Deaves said in a statement. "We congratulate everyone involved in this record-breaking achievement."
