Safety Precautions
WARNING
Do not disassemble, repair, or remodel this scanner.
• Such action may cause a fire hazard or electrical
shock.
• Such action could impair the scanner’s performance
and cause it to malfunction or break down.
If the scanner generates smoke, is abnormally hot,
emits a strange odor, or otherwise functions abnormally, do not continue using it. Turn off its
power and unplug its power cord from the electrical socket.
• Use of the scanner in such status may result in a
fire hazard or electrical shock.
• Request repair by contacting your sales representative or nearest Graphtec vendor.

Safety Precautions (Continued)
WARNING
Do not connect the scanner to a non-rated power
supply.
• Use of a different supply voltage may result in a
fire hazard or electrical shock.
CAUTION
Be sure to ground the earth terminal.
• Unless the scanner is grounded, the operator could
suffer an electrical shock in case of current leakage.
Insert the scanner’s power plug securely into the
electrical socket.
• After first connecting the power cord’s female plug
to the scanner, connect its male plug to the electrical
socket.
• Using the scanner with its power plug incompletely
inserted into the electrical socket could cause a fire
hazard or electrical shock.
Do not allow dust or metallic matter to adhere to
the power cord’s plug.
• If the power cord’s plugs become dirty, thoroughly
wipe them clean.
• The use of a dirty power cord plug could result in
a fire hazard or electrical shock.

1. OVERVIEW
1. OVERVIEW
1.1 Features
600-dpi optical resolution for high-precision image scanning
Scanning with an optical resolution of 600 dpi allows even complex and difficult-to-scan
documents, such as CAD drawings, electronic files, and mapping data to be scanned
rapidly and with high precision. Scanning Master 21+ (scanner software included as
a standard accessory) can be used to adjust the resolution in five levels (50 dpi to 800
dpi, in 1-dpi increments) to suit the scanned document.
Compatible document widths range from 210 mm to 1016 mm
Compatible with document sizes from ISO A4 up to ANSI E
Capable of color and grayscale scanning
Capable of scanning in color (24-bit color*, 8-bit color) or grayscale (256 shades)
* CS400 only
Capable of reading long-axis data
Scanning of long-axis images is supported.
Compact and lightweight design
A compact design was achieved by using a document travel system that employs contact
image sensors in the sensor unit (five rows arranged in a zigzag pattern).
Image-processing functions
Use of the scanning software provided lets you set image-processing functions for the
scanning of a document.
Interface
USB 2.0, IEEE 1394
