Description

Paper turned digital on the spot

The DS-940DW is a sheet-fed scanner: the page travels through the device and the scanner captures both sides. A contract, packing slip or expense report can be digitised the moment the paper is in your hands. Optical resolution of 1200 × 1200 dpi with 256 grey levels gives readable results even for stamps and handwriting. Bus power means a single cable to the computer is all it needs.

Who this scanner is for

Mobile staff who collect documents outside the office and want them on the computer straight away. Small businesses and home offices that scan invoices and contracts but have no need for a large desktop scanner. Organisations running a mix of Windows, macOS and Linux computers.
