The Epson Perfection 1640SU photo scanner is a flatbed color image scanner with one-pass scanning. It's fully automatic, allowing you to scan directly to an application with just one touch.

The dual-platform scanner for Mac and PC offers plug-and-play hookup and fast SCSI and USB connectivity. The maximum scan area is 8.5 by 11.7 inches, although you can scan legal-size documents and pictures if using the optional auto document feeder. The optional feeder is a 30-page, 5.5 ppm automatic document feeder. Also, if you need to scan something that doesn't fit under the document cover, the 1640SU allows you to self-adjust the cover. For example, if you need to scan thick documents like a photo album, you simply place the document on the document table glass without having to remove the cover.
