Key Features
Exceptional 1200 x
2400dpi A4 scanner for
advanced family and
small home office users
World-beating technology
This advanced scanner has got what it
takes to capture amazingly crisp, clear
images and text with fine detail and
jaggy-free edge definition, and like
every EPSON scanner, this performance
is easy to access, thanks to new
standards in scanning simplicity and
convenience. There’s no better way
to achieve 1200 x 2400dpi and 42-bit
colour every time.
EPSON SmartPanel and
QuickStart Buttons
Designed to offer the simplest route to
exceptional scanning output, the EPSON
Perfection 1240U includes the latest
EPSON innovations which enable users
to tailor their scanner to their specific
needs. The EPSON Start Button provides
one-touch scanning simplicity, but with
the added benefits of the Copy and
Scan buttons, and the comprehensive
EPSON SmartPanel, your scans can be
copied, sent directly to the application
of your choice, created as e-mail
attachments, opened ready for
enhancement in Adobe® PhotoDeluxe or
arranged in various sizes and layouts.
BUNDLED SOFTWARE:
Adobe® PhotoDeluxe
TextBridge Pro
Adobe® Photoshop 5.0 Limited Edition
(1240U PHOTO only)
EPSON SmartPanel
EPSON TWAIN 5
EPSON TWAIN 5 Driver Software
In Full Auto mode, the scanner
automatically previews and analyses
the content of each scan and applies
the exposure settings that are most
appropriate for the type of original you
are working with. And you don’t need
to worry about how the originals are
placed either, because any skew will be
corrected for you - in fact, you can
even place several small images on the
platen and scan each one into a
separate window.
Fully adaptable for
photographic requirements
For comprehensive photo support and
added flexibility, an optional film
adapter is available for scanning
positives and negatives up to 5"x4"
size. This is included as standard on
the EPSON Perfection 1240U PHOTO.
