Ng Epson Perfection 1200U is a 36-bit color scanner purporting an optical resolution of 1200 dots per inch. The U signifies Universal Service Bus connection. Packed with the scanner is one USB cable, one power cord, CDs for PC and Macintosh and a 104 page manual. My recommendation is to follow the manual explicitly until what you see on the screen doesn t match what is on the page. Then bumbling around, instinct and the force will eventually get you through.
Manufacturers don t revise manuals every time they make changes to the software.
Broderbund PrintShop PressWriter has built-in templates to aid in creating newsletters, brochures and such. PageManager for Epson enables one to use the scanner s Start button and Optical Character Recognition feature. And ArcSoft Photo Printer, a photo layout program that allows one to create multiple photo montages and calendars and such. Instructions in the Scanner Basics manual on setting up your scanner is thorough. One of the key items is to use a coin to unlock the transportation lock on the side of the scanner.
