document size A4 or US letter size
(8.5 × 11.7 inches
[216 × 297 mm])
Up to legal size if using the optional auto
document feeder
(The reading area can be specified from
software.)
Optical resolution 600 dpi
Maximum hardware
resolution* 600 dpi (main scan) × 2400 dpi
(sub scan)**
* The maximum hardware resolution of 600 × 2400 dpi is achieved
using EPSON’s Micro Step
** The maximum hardware resolution for sub scans is 2400 dpi when
the width of the document to be scanned does not exceed 4
inches. If the width exceeds 4 inches, the scanning software
interpolates the resolution after 1200 dpi.
