New Xerox Scanner Helps People Easily Archive Favorite Photos and Restore Heirloom Prints

Xerox 6400 Scanner Offers Image Quality, One Touch Ease-of-Use and Restoration Software Bundle All for $199

PLEASANTON, Calif., Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/—The Xerox 6400 scanner, announced today, is a high-quality flatbed scanner for photo enthusiasts who want a complete archiving solution for photos, negatives and slides in a single piece of hardware.

The desktop scanner delivers outstanding results with its true 3200 x 6400-dpi resolution and built-in slide and filmstrip adapter for conveniently making duplicates or enlargements from 35mm slides and negatives. The scanner also features 48-bit color depth for remarkable color accuracy and a fast Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface for scanning photos, text and graphics with ease. The photo restoration software bundle was custom created for the Xerox 6400 and includes automatic photo-enhancement features and powerful text effects. The Xerox 6400 is the first Xerox flatbed scanner designed with the image-driven consumer in mind. It is a premium quality scanner at an affordable price of only $199.99.

The Xerox 6400 features five One Touch buttons that are pre-configured for the most common scanning tasks, so people can get great results within minutes of opening the box. The buttons are set at the optimal settings to scan, copy, OCR, e-mail, and perform a custom task, so first-time users can start scanning immediately with confidence.

Xerox scanners with One Touch technology are designed so that pressing one button takes the user all the way through the scanning task, not just launching the program. Advanced users can quickly learn to customize the buttons for even more power. Simply holding down a One Touch button brings up the scan setting interface, which people can easily change to meet the needs of the task at hand. For example, an avid photographer can easily modify the buttons to automatically scan black-and-white photos or scan directly into their photo editing application.
