EPSON’s dedication to ease of use and

Key Features
Exceptional 48-bit A4 scanner
for photographers and
graphic arts professionals
Unbeatable EPSON 48-bit
colour and Dual Focus System
Whatever your original, the EPSON
Expression 1680 delivers outstanding
quality. Smooth gradations and amazing
colour are assured by the scanner’s
ability to recognise more than 280
trillion colours (48-bit) and 65,000
shades of grey (16-bit), while EPSON’s
exclusive Dual Focus System eliminates
the ‘Newton Ring’ effect often found on
less sophisticated scanners to ensure
clear, sharp results every time, on
reflective or transparent media.
The best results – quickly and
easily
Enhanced productivity is made possible
by amazingly high speed image
processing – whether you are scanning
photos, negatives, slides or documents,
the EPSON Expression 1680 will deliver
previews or finished scans in double-
quick time. And perfection has never
been easier to achieve, because
although you can control a whole host
of settings, the EPSON Start button
provides simple, one-touch perfection.
Excellent
connectivity
To ensure that quality is matched by
flexible connectivity for PC and Mac
users, the EPSON Expression 1680
includes standard SCSI and USB
interfaces, with optional IEEE-1394
(FireWire) support for unprecedented
data transfer capabilities. The scanner
can also be fully networked via EPSON
TWAIN Pro software or the dedicated
EPSON Network Image Express hardware
scanner server.
Built for photo and graphics
professionals
The optional transparency unit (standard
on the EPSON Expression 1680 Pro)
provides a simple, high quality
photographic scanning solution for
transparencies from 35mm to 8" x10"
size. For higher throughput jobs, the
optional Automatic Document Feeder
provides the perfect solution to
multiple-scanning with minimum user
input.
