The JX-330 flatbed color scanner from Sharp Electronics provides clear color registration and fast scanning by using Sharp's patented process of strobing three colored fluorescent bulbs in a single-pass scan. The JX-330 provides true 600-dpi scanning in 16.7 million colors, 256 shades of gray, or black and white; a full-color letter-size page scans in about 45 seconds. The Mac- and PC-compatible unit's built-in support for TWAIN lets you scan directly from any TWAIN-compliant software. Optional units for scanning transparencies, 35mm slides, and 4- by 5-inch chromes are CCD-based with resolutions of up to 2400 dpi through interpolation. An optional 50-page automatic document feeder is also available. The base unit's retail price is $1499; transparency options start at $1000; the ADF is $495
