Fujitsu's PDAs To Hit The Market In 2002
Sleek USB Handheld scanner with auto-stitching technology - one-up from flatbed counterparts
Singapore, 28 August 2001 — Fujitsu has once again leap-frogged ahead of the portable computing market with the release of its newest Mobile Colour
Scanner, model RS-C40U.
Small
Decked in designer CoolSilver, the handheld scanner measures 14.2cm in length and weighs a measly 100g, roughly the weight
of a small handphone. The scanner comes with a USB interface, which ensures compatibility with both desktops and laptops.
Desktop users who do not have the space to accommodate a flatbed scanner might want to consider this.
Just Swipe
Boasting an optical resolution of 600 x 600dpi, the Fujitsu Mobile Colour Scanner features Fujitsu's unique stitching technology.
This takes the headache out of scanning large documents. The Fujitsu Mobile Colour Scanner can stitch up to A3 size, making
it a formidable, if not aesthetically appealing, replacement of a flatbed scanner. Gone are the days when we had to join big
images manually with imaging software, a really tedious process. One swipe of the scanner takes a mere 3 seconds to complete
- 2 swipes would make up a colour A4 document.
Quick & Convenient
Students, and professionals who need to capture information on-the-go would find the Fujitsu Mobile Colour Scanner an invaluable
tool. Thick books, newspapers, name cards, anything that is irregularly-shaped and not amenable to photocopying - can be easily
conquered with the Fujitsu Mobile Colour Scanner. It is also a significant productivity booster, considering the time and
effort saved waiting in line for the photocopying machine at a library or an office. When used with a laptop, users can even
email the images when outside the office.
New Age Scanning Device
The mobility factor has revolutionized and augmented the core imaging function, effectively turning the scanner into an alternative
digital archiving tool, one which does not require an external power supply. Its 16.7 million colour capability supports four
scanning modes - Colour, Grey, Dither and Black & White.
The Fujitsu Mobile Colour Scanner is TWAIN-Compliant and can be used on all PCs running Microsoft Windows 98, Windows ME and
Windows 2000.
