Product Features
Technical Overview
The DS-1730's technical architecture centers on a dual CIS (Contact Image Sensor) array that enables simultaneous scanning of both sides during duplex operations. This configuration supports scanning modes ranging from simplex single-sided capture to automatic duplex processing for double-sided documents.
Color reproduction leverages 30-bit internal processing with 10-bit grayscale depth, ensuring smooth tonal transitions and accurate monochrome output. The RGB LED light source provides consistent illumination across the scanning area while consuming minimal power—just 100 mW in off-mode operation.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cordless, Large Format, Image Sensor Type, USB, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
