This 24" L24ei Scanner MFP Color Scanner Module from Canon is an economic scan-to-copy and scan-to-file system for low volume and entry level users. Designed for architects, engineers, consulting firms, small offices, and K-12 schools, the scanner features a single component image sensor that is the full width of the scanner. Full-width image capture, as opposed to time delayed scanning of separate sections, means less risk of misalignment of scanned data. The scanner's LEDs require little warm up time and provide a wide and consistent color gamut. This means less power consumption and less potential for shadows and artifacts at creases and folds. The unit has a maximum scan width of 24" and will handle documents up to 26" wide. Maximum scan length is an impressive 109" and the unit can handle media up to 0.5 mm thick. Besides scan-to-copy, the L24ei lets you scan to USB, scan to copy and archive, scan to multiple PDF, and scan to PC, as well as reduce and enlarge images. The scanner offers 600 dpi optical resolution, and with three different quality modes available you can choose Draft, Standard, or Best Mode based on the scan you are making.
