Insight On The Popular A3 Flatbed Scanner

There are quite a few different brands of A3 flatbed scanners available today. Among the most popular is one that is known for scanning extremely fast which will be covered. For more information on specific brands or models, visit a local retailer.

The A3 flatbed scanner is a fantastic tool for those that travel, small home businesses or anyone simply wanting to incorporate scanning into their capabilities. There are many that offer simple USB 2.0 connectivity, while others do not require a computer to operate. Some will run from a USB external flash drive, and others will even operate with laptops and wireless connections.

One such ideal scanner is extremely fast and this makes it one of the top models on the market. This could be because it offers a 48 bit scanning system that so many others do not offer yet. The model offered can catch right around 68 billion different colors in one pass on the scanner bed, so any type of media you scan will be perfectly copied.

This scanner is totally Twain compliant, so it will run on any computer that has Twain software running. This model does not follow the norm, as the connection requires a 1.1 USB, and only works at this time with Windows based PC operating systems, and is not upgradeable to Mac.

The DPI resolution should measure around 300 by 600, and the interpolated DPI measurement about 9600. The gray scale is a 16 bit standard, and the color depth ranked at 48 bit so that any color you scan is perfect. The hinged lid should let you use whole books to be scanned at once, as well as entire magazines.

The best model is only able to be used with Windows 98 through XP versions, but updates to comply with newer systems can be found on the website. This and most all other A3 flatbed scanners come with some software including but not limited to Fine Reader OCR, Photoshop 5.0 and Text Bridge. If you need more information on any scanner, contact your local retailer.
