The EPSON Expression™ 636 is a true 600-dpi full-color flatbed
image scanner with a letter or A4 size scanning area. It has the
ability to scan in color or grayscale, making it ideal for virtually
all uses, from simple drawings to complex full-color
illustrations. It provides extremely high-quality color scanning
by reading 36 bits per pixel and saving 24 bits per pixel.
Features
The scanner offers the following features:
Full-color or grayscale reading. For color reading, you can
select up to 16 million colors. For grayscale, you can select
up to 256 gray shades.
Scanning resolution of 600 dpi. The output resolution is
selectable to match the resolution of your output device;
output resolutions of 50 dpi to 4800 dpi (interpolated) are
available.
Automatic Area Segmentation (AAS). This feature enables
the scanner to separate text from photographs on a page so
that grayscale images are clearer and text recognition is
more accurate.
Text Enhancement Technology. This feature enhances the
recognition accuracy when you use the scanner for optical
character recognition (OCR) scanning.
Two resident interfaces, bidirectional parallel and SCSI.
Using these interfaces, you can connect two computers to
the scanner at the same time.
