OVERVIEW

HP's Scanjet 4670 see-thru vertical scanner offers a first-to-market breakthrough, ultrathin, vertical space-saving design. At approximately the width of a spiral notebook and with an 8.5” x 11” see-thru window, this scanner resembles a picture frame. The seethru window is made of durable, tough, polycarbonate that resists breaking and scratching. The scanner's unique design allows it to be used in a variety of positions to easily capture hard-to-scan items as well as conveniently sits upright in a holder to save space.

Consumers can use the scanner to convert traditional photos and documents into a flexible format for digital sharing. A transparent materials adapter is included to capture scans from negatives and slides. Larger items can be scanned in sections and easily reassembled using ArcSoft Panorama Maker™ software. The scanner produces true-to-life images at 2400-dpi optical resolution and 48-bit color for sharp, clear
photos.
