Microtek patented side-to-side Zero Boundary™ scan bed
The design of the side-to-side Zero Boundary™ scan bed enables faster image capturing for books or magazines. Instead of flipping pages by pages, each time, users can simply move the targets from left to right for continual non-stop scanning.

The best solution for scanning thick books
The ScanMaker i280 incorporates Microtek’s Zero Boundary™ design, which extends the scan area as closer to the edges of the scanner to make scan bound pages in a book easier. With Zero Boundary™, the scanner can eliminate the problems of scanning bound pages with text and pictures close to the inner margin of a book or magazine. No more distortions, no more blurs. You get easy-to-read texts and clear images across the entire page.

User friendly and easy-to-access software
With brand new developed ScanWizard EZ (PC) and ScanPotter (Mac) scanner software, you can find variety of scanning solutions for your scans. Both novices and experienced scanner users can find them productive and easy to use.

CCD & LEDs bring up superb image quality in a slim design

The ScanMaker i280 is built by using Microtek's EDGE™ design, fitting high-quality CCD scanning technology into a slim profile. You get the slim and stylish appearance without giving up the advantages of CCD scanning -- like superior image quality and better color depth capabilities not offered by other slim scanners.

Furthermore, constructed LED light source requires no warm-up time before carrying out the scan, which prevents the waste of time and conserves money of energy. The best of all, with the stable performance generated by a scanner with LEDs, the image quality will remain consistent even after being used for a certain period of time.

Exclusive Microtek's ColoRescue™ restores faded color
The ScanMaker i280 is equipped with Microtek's exclusive ColoRescue™ technology, which brings faded colors back to life for more vibrant images. With a single click, you can return faded photos to their original brilliance.
