Its compact design means it can sit comfortably on a desk or optional stand, while the lightweight construction makes it easier to move between locations when required.
Contex CleanScan CIS technology with dual-sided LED lighting delivers 600 dpi optical resolution, while Contex CFR technology helps reduce colour fringing associated with CIS scanning. USB 3.0 with xDTR3 provides fast data transfer between the scanner and connected workstation.
