Product Features

EZ‑Scan Buttons

Five intuitive front‑panel buttons enable Auto Scan, Copy, two‑step PDF, and Send functions for quick workflows.

Auto Scan Mode with Image Correction

Automatically detects whether you’re scanning documents or photos, applying auto document fix, dust/scratch removal, fading and grain correction (Windows only) for optimal results.

USB‑Type‑C One‑Cable Design

A single USB‑Type‑C connection supplies both power and data—no separate power adapter required, reducing clutter and enhancing portability.

Upright Scanning with Z‑Lid Expansion

The hinged Z‑lid accommodates media up to ~21 mm thick—ideal for scanning bound books or thick items; plus upright placement saves desktop space.

Cloud Integration

Directly upload scanned images or multi-page PDFs to cloud services such as Microsoft OneDrive or Dropbox, streamlining your digital workflow.

Energy Efficient & Quiet Operation

Designed for minimal power usage (approx. 4.5 W in operation, 0.3 W standby), and scans at slower resolutions (e.g. 600 dpi) operate quietly.
