Slim Down
Visioneer's OneTouch 7300 USB 2.0 bus-powered flatbed
scanner is a slim solution for thick stacks of paperwork. At 1.4
inches thick, the OneTouch 7300 is designed for mobility and
simplicity, with a single cord and five buttons to scan, e-mail,
copy, or perform OCR (optical character recognition) or a
customized task. The sleek size still allows for a scanning surface
of 8.5 by 11.69 inches and a hinged lid for scanning books,
magazines and other odd-shaped materials. You might think this
convenience comes at the expense of quality, but the OneTouch 7300
scans 48-bit color at 1200 dpi resolution.
