• Sensor Type: Dual CIS (Contact Image Sensor) (Front x 1, Back x 1).

• Light Source: 3-color LED (RGB) with ReadyScan LED technology, which means virtually no warm-up time, saving energy and improving productivity.

• Optical Resolution: 600 dpi x 600 dpi (Horizontal x Vertical), providing crisp and clear scans.

• Output Resolution: Flexible, from 50 dpi to 1,200 dpi (in 1 dpi increments), allowing for varied quality outputs based on need.

• Bit Depth:

  • Color: 30-bit input, 24-bit output

  • Grayscale: 10-bit input, 8-bit output

  • Black & White: 10-bit input, 1-bit output

• Scanning Speed:

  • Up to 35 ppm (pages per minute) / 70 ipm (images per minute) at 200/300 dpi (color and B&W, simplex/duplex). This is a strong point for fast document processing.

  • At 600 dpi, speeds are 12 ppm / 24 ipm.

• Daily Duty Cycle: Up to 5,500 pages per day, indicating its robustness for handling significant scanning volumes in busy offices.

Advanced Document Handling:

• Supported Paper Weight: A very versatile range of 27 - 413 gsm (grams per square meter), allowing it to scan everything from thin paper to thick cards (including plastic cards with/without emboss).

• Double Feed Detection: Features Ultrasonic Multi-feed Detection to prevent skipping pages, ensuring data integrity.

• Slow Mode: An industry-first slow mode, which is particularly useful for scanning crumpled, fragile, or very thin documents without damage.

• Active Separation Roller System: Further prevents double feeding of documents.

• A3 Scanning: Can scan A3 documents using an optional A3 carrier sheet.

Connectivity & Software Ecosystem:
