LAS VEGAS—(Business Wire)—Jan. 6, 2005 Plustek Inc (http://www.plustek.com), a leading manufacturer of consumer, prosumer and professional imaging devices, today launched the OpticSlim 2420T ultra-slim and stylish scanner at the 2005 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). With its patented hinged lid and cordless/removable TPA adapter for 35mm slides and negatives, this robust scanner is powerful enough for the office (or home office) yet compact enough for the mobile executive to take it along inside their laptop case. Priced at $119, the OpticSlim 2420T will begin shipping in the United States in February.

The OpticSlim 2420T is capable of scanning A4-size documents at optical resolution of 1200 dpi and is power cord-free, using power acquired from the computer through the USB 2.0 High Speed connection. In addition to providing power, the USB 2.0 High Speed interface offers faster data delivery, up to four times faster than a USB 1.1 interface. For added flexibility, the OpticSlim is equipped with a specially designed lid hinge which allows for the scanning of thicker books as well as 3-D object scanning. For ease of use, the unit also includes five one-touch action buttons on the front panel: Copy, OCR, E-Mail, Custom and Scan (Custom button’s function can be set with bundled Action Manager).
