ScanMan Scans 24-Bit Color

March 1996 / Reviews / The Paperless Cubicle / ScanMan Scans 24-Bit Color

Once you have a personal scanner on your desktop, you'll probably find yourself needing an occasional color scan: a color photo or a color-coded graphic. Logitech's new PageScan Color adds some solid features to the sheet-fed personal-scanning category, including 24-bit color. Also, you can remove the PageScan Color from its base to hand-scan larger items or bound material without removing pages. The estimated street price is $399.
The PageScan Color comes with Xerox TextBridge OCR, PaperMaster SE document management software, a low-end image editor, fax and copier components, and a TWAIN driver, so you can scan into almost any Windows imaging applicat ion. PaperMaster SE supports file drawers as well as file folders for an extra level of organization. However, because it uses a proprietary file format, you can't get electronic documents into or out of PaperMaster SE. To get import/export capability, you'll need to upgrade to the full version of PaperMaster for $49.
