Direct PC interface with TWAIN driver and USB connector, so you can scan color originals to your desktop computer for use in documents, desktop publishing, websites, Email distribution or fix transmission.

One-page/two-page scanning modes allow you to scan two spread pages of a book or magazine up to 11" x 17", scan "right page" or "left page" consecutively, or scan each page separately.

Selectable resolution lets you choose the ideal balance of speed and image resolution -- 200 dpi, 240 dpi, 300 dpi, 400 dpi, even 600 dpi for highly detailed originals.

Versatile image modes let you optimize scanning output for five kinds of originals: Color Text (for color documents), Color Photo (for color photos), Grayscale Text (for monochrome documents), Grayscale Photo (for monochrome photos), or Line Art (bitmap, for text or line art).

Auto masking of images of fingers holding pages down as you scan.

3D scanning lets you place objects on the scanning surface and digitize their images; for small objects, a white sheet covering the surface will insure optimum exposure.
