SnapScan Color Scanner

SnapScan is Agfa's low-cost scanning solution for any desktop Mac or PC, at home or in the office. SnapScan automates the scanning process into one-button scanning. The result is a scanner that delivers the ultimate speed, quality, and true color in one low-cost, easy-to-use package.

SnapScan captures impressively sharp images from photographs, artwork, magazines, books, and letters in any size up to 8.5" x 11.7". Just put the image on the scanner and let SnapScan do the rest. SnapScan's high speed software instantaneously produces a color preview of your picture. Agfa's automated scanning software checks the image and automatically sets the scanner for perfect results. A special lift-off hinge on the scanner lid allows scanning of books, magazines, or any three-dimensional object. SnapScan even has an option available for scanning slides, film, and negatives.

SnapScan also comes with OmniPage OCR software. OCR (optical character recognition) software enables a scanner to read text from a book or letter and create a file on your computer. You can then use that file to change words, add sentences, and correct spelling. SnapScan saves hours of retyping time.

SnapScan turns your printer into a copy machine. Place your document or image on the scanner bed, choose "SOFT copy," and the scanned image is sent to your printer--just like a copy machine. Add a modem to your system and your SnapScan and computer become a fax machine, scanning then faxing the information to a desired location.

SnapScan comes as a complete package with a full array of software and an Adaptec SCSI connection board. Everything you need in one box!
