Epson ES-800C, User Manual

Page: 8 / 89

Introduction
The Epson
®
ES-8OOC is a true 400 dpi full-color flatbed image
scanner with an x 11 inch (letter) size scanning area. It has
the ability to scan in color (24 bit) or gray-scale monochrome
(8 bit), making it ideal for virtually all uses, from simple
drawings to complex full-color illustrations.
The ES-800C has a bidirectional parallel interface and a SCSI
(Small Computer System Interface). For either interface, you
need an optional Epson interface kit to connect the scanner to
your computer.
For the bidirectional interface, use Epson’s Bidirectional
Parallel Interface Kit for DOS Computers (BIDIDOS). For the
SCSI, use either Epson’s Interface Kit for Macintosh
®
Computers (ESMAC) or Epson’s SCSI Kit for DOS Computers
(SCSIDOS), depending on which computer you have.
Automatic Document Feeder (B813011)
This option is designed primarily for optical character
recognition (OCR) scanning. With software that supports the
ES-8OOC and OCR, you can stack up to 50 pages in the
automatic document feeder and scan them automatically. You
can then use them in a word processing program just as if you
had typed them yourself.
Transparency Unit (B813021)
This option allows you to scan transparent materials, primarily
35mm slides and negatives, in 24bit color.
