Product Features
Technical Overview
The scanner's technical architecture centers on precision imaging and workflow efficiency. The 1200 dpi optical sensor ensures sharp, legible scans even from small text or detailed graphics, while the 48-bit color depth provides over 281 trillion color shades for true-to-life color accuracy. Grayscale scanning at 8-bit depth delivers 256 shades of gray for clear monochrome documents.
Speed is balanced with quality through a maximum scan rate of 40 ppm for both monochrome and color documents, equivalent to 80 images per minute in duplex mode. The integrated USB interface provides reliable connectivity to a wide range of systems, and the scanner supports an extensive list of operating systems including Windows 7 through 11, Windows Server editions, macOS from Mojave onward, and various Linux distributions.
