Thank you for purchasing the color scanner. With the color scanner, you can easily scan
A3 size documents and photographs into your computer and maintain them as electronic
copies.
Main Features:
High Resolution and Density Range: High resolution and density range define a high-end flatbed scanner. Your
scanner offers an ultra high maximum resolution of 9800 dpi, producing better gamma transformation, and a
more accurate detection of highlight and shadow details, thereby allowing even distribution of colors.
Power Twin Lens: Your scanner offers a dual-lens feature that enables users to choose between two optical
resolutions: 700 x 1400 dpi and 1400 x 2800 dpi. It is like having two scanners in one machine. The extended
optical resolution is extremely helpful when scanning small images, such as 35mm slides.
High Scanning Speed, Low Acoustic Noise: Your scanner can complete a color preview in a few seconds. In fact,
when compared to drum scanners, your scanner has proved to be five times faster in color scan speed tests.
The scanner's micro stepping technology greatly increases scanning speed and at the same time reduces noise
level.
Transparency Adapter: It allows the scanning of films, slides and transparencies up to the full-size scanning area:
11.4" x17". (Most scanners available in the market cannot scan up to the maximum scanning area in the
transparency mode).
Proprietary Image Noise Reduction: Your scanner uses a sealed optical system design that blocks dust particles and
excess reflections from penetrating the optical unit, thereby overcoming image and optical noise and ensuring
sharp, true-life images.
System Requirements: 486DX or higher (68030 processor or Power Macintosh for Mac users), CD-ROM drive,
hard drive with 20MB free disk space, 4MB memory, Microsoft Windows 3.1 or 95 (Mac OS 7.0 or later for Mac
users), Windows-compatible keyboard, display and mouse. Recommended: SVGA or higher graphics card.
