Getting to Know Your ScanMaker i460

Microtek's new scanner, the ScanMaker i460, brings a brand new taste to the world of
scanners.  With a newly designed landscape appearance, the ScanMaker i460 breaks
the stereotype of scanner designs and brings a new milestone to the scanner world.
The gleaming coating makes the ScanMaker i460 distinguishable and stand from the
others immediately.

The ScanMaker i460 has not only a fantastic appearance but also some outstanding
features, such as 4800 x 9600 dpi, 48-bit color, and 8.5" x 11.7" scan bed. Also, it is
equipped with six Smart-Touch buttons on the button panel for one-touch automation
and easy access to scanner functions. In addition, through an optional LightLid 35 IV
transparency adapter, the versatile scanner can even scan 35mm slides and filmstrips.
