Description:

The Umax Astra 4000U offers high performance for business users, featuring 36-bit internal color depth (42-bit enhanced) for sharp, vibrant colors, detailed highlights, and fine shadows. A 14-bit analog-to-digital converter captures trillions of colors with a 1,200 x 2,400 dpi resolution. The Astra 4000U also features a legal-size scan bed and single-button operation for scanning, copying, optical character recognition, and e-mail. Plus, you can scan multiple images at one time for improved productivity.

The Astra 4000U manages documents, scanning images and text into almost any application, including e-mail and fax. An Intelligent Image Process Engine (IIPE) evaluates the correct settings for many types of images, providing fast and untroubled scanning. The flatbed and hinged top provide an ample 8.5-by-14-inch scan area, ideal for flat, bound, and textured documents and objects. The Astra 4000U's high resolution enables you to capture fine details. Both PC and Mac users can employ the USB compatibility for the plug-and-play installation sought after in business equipment. Also, the scanner's compact design, approximately 18 by 12 by 3 inches, and light weight require only a small desk or shelf commitment.

The 4000U comes with easy-to-use scanning software so that users can obtain consistent, quality output. Software for enhancing, modifying, and organizing images is furnished with the unit, including Adobe Photoshop LE professional, ScanSoft OmniPage LE OCR, NewSoft Presto! PageManager (full version), NewSoft Presto! PhotoAlbum LE, VistaScan scanning software, MagicMatch, and Kodak's Digital Science Color Management System. Umax backs the Astra 4000U with one year of technical support and extended support hours. --Barbara Price
