Product Features
Technical Overview
The ScanSnap SV600 employs a 1200 dpi optical resolution CCD sensor that captures fine details across its scanning area. It processes images through three distinct color modes: full color reproduction, grayscale conversion, and monochrome binary scanning. Each scan completes in approximately 3 seconds, maintaining consistent throughput whether scanning photographs, text documents, or mixed-content pages.
Media handling spans from 1" square items to A3-sized sheets (11.70" x 16.50"), covering international paper sizes including A4, A5, A6, B4, B5, B6, Letter, and Legal formats. The scanner accepts various media types including plain paper, postcards, business cards, ID cards, newspapers, books, magazines, blueprints, thick paper, and card stock. Its simplex scanning architecture processes single-sided documents efficiently.
