Epson GT 2500 Document Imaging Color Scanner

Here's something special for all of you power scanners out there. This new flatbed scanner from Epson can scan at 1200 DPI (optical) resolution with 48-bit color. The maximum size of documents is 8.5" x 14" and this scanner also comes with a 50 sheet automatic document feeder. What's really cool about this scanner is not that it can achieve speeds of 27 pages per minute (ppm) in monochrome and 11 ppm in color, or that it can achieve resolutions up to 1200 x 1200 dpi, but that it also supports auto duplex scanning.

The Epson GT 2500 is compatible with both Windows and Macintosh systems and it comes with TWAIN and ISIS drivers. As with most new scanners, this device uses USB 2.0 connectivity for fast data transfers. An optional network card also enables this scanner to be shared in small workgroups.
