ScanWizard 5 software. This 1200 x 600 dpi, high­resolution scanner is also unbelievably fast. Scan a

Bundled Software and LightLid 35

The ScanMaker 3700 offers award-winning
software for image editing and optical character
recognition (OCR).

Using Adobe PhotoDeluxe, you can try
over 50 guided activities—creating personal
greeting cards, calendars, announcements, school and
business reports and more. And with the included

LightLid 35, you can scan 35mm slides to email to

friends and family.

Ulead PhotoImpact adds
even more image editing

power to the mix. You can add a

variety of graphic effects like

kaleidoscope (great for scrapbooking),

watercolor, whirlpool and more to your scanned

Recognition (OCR software) converts your scanned
