  • Batch Picture Scanner. Uses a feed tray which allows items to be scanned much faster than on the flatbed.
  • Slide Scan. Automatically scans 35mm slides from a standard slide carousel.
  • Lexmark Color Copier/Printer/Scanner. Converts multiple page documents into a single pdf file. This is ideal for preserving and sharing typewritten family histories.
