Introduction

This chapter introduces you to your StudioScan and to the different manuals that came with your scanner.

About your StudioScan

The StudioScan is an 8-bit flatbed desktop scanner. You can scan line-art, halftone, gray-scale and color reflective originals up to legal or A4 format. If you purchased the transparency module, you can scan transparent originals as well. The StudioScan is a one pass color scanner with a resolution of 600 dpi. The image sensor is a linear array CCD (Charge Coupled Device) with a daylight fluorescent light.

With its powerful and easy-to-use scanner driver software, the StudioScan gives you easy access to high quality color scans. The scanner driver software gives you a number of additional features that let you create special effects or reproduce even the most difficult originals.

The StudioScan includes a built-in SCSI interface which makes it very easy to connect the scanner to your Macintosh or PC.

The StudioScan exists in two versions, each submitted to different regulation approvals.
