The most popular ScanLight scanner, this unit provides perfect quality picture scans (it's a true 256 grey-level device) in a small hand held unit. It offers scanning resolutions of 100, 200, 300 or 400 dpi in either monochrome, 16 grey-levels or 256 grey-levels.

This latest ScanLight 256 model offers a convenient one-touch scanning button, and a unique overscan buzzer. In addition to the more usual flashing light, this buzzer provides audio feedback to warn when scanning is approaching the speed limit, and a different tone when the scan speed limit is exceeded. This means you can concentrate on looking at the screen while you scan without having to constantly check the scanner itself.

A further aid to quality scans is the straight edge ruler supplied with the scanner. This ruler, specifically designed for the scanner, fits into a groove under the edge of the scanner and ensures absolutely straight scanned images. The image quality of ScanLight 256 is quite capable of producing scans for professional typesetting work.
