• Light Source: RGB LED (ReadyScan LED technology for instant-on operation)

• Optical Resolution:

  • Flatbed: 1,200 dpi x 1,200 dpi (Horizontal x Vertical) - Ideal for photos, fragile documents, books, and bound materials where high detail is needed.

  • ADF: 600 dpi x 600 dpi (Horizontal x Vertical) - Sufficient for typical document scanning.

• Scanning Speed (at 200/300 dpi):

  • ADF Simplex (single-sided): 25 ppm (pages per minute)

  • ADF Duplex (double-sided): 10 ipm (images per minute) (Note: This is a 3-pass duplex, meaning it scans one side, then flips the page to scan the other, unlike faster single-pass duplex scanners).

  • Flatbed (A4 Color/Mono): Approx. 6.0 - 7.0 seconds at 200/300 dpi.
