Photo and Document Scanner
The Plustek ePhoto Z300 is a USB photo and document scanner built around a colour CCD sensor with an LED light source. It digitises photos, receipts, business cards and tickets up to 8.5 by 11.7 inches. The single-sheet feeder handles each item individually to avoid surface damage during scanning.
Home Users and Small Offices
This scanner suits anyone wanting fast, gentle digitisation of physical photos and light paperwork at 300 dpi. Automatic size detection and skew correction simplify the workflow for non-technical users. It is not for buyers who need higher optical resolution, batch feeding of large document stacks, or network and wireless connectivity.
300 dpi Optical Resolution
The fixed 300 dpi optical resolution determines the maximum detail captured from photos and documents. Colour scans use 48-bit input and 24-bit output, while greyscale uses 16-bit input and 8-bit output. If your archive work requires finer detail than 300 dpi, this model will not meet that requirement.
