Apple Scanner

Apple Scanner attached to a Macintosh SE

The Apple Scanner was a flatbed image scanner released by Apple Computer in August 1988.[1] It was Apple's first scanner, capable scanning A4 (8.5 in × 14.0 in) paper at a bit depth of 4 bits (16 levels of grey) at a maximum resolution of 300 dpi.[2]

Overview

The scanner could complete a full scan in 20.4 seconds.[citation needed] It shipped with a SCSI connection[3] with an unused serial port.

To control the scanner, it came with both AppleScan and HyperScan, the latter allowed users to scan directly from within HyperCard.[4][5] Later, only AppleScan was offered.[3]

Many internal components are branded "Toshiba" and "TEC",[6] suggesting that the OEM of the Apple Scanner was Toshiba TEC.

The scanner was upgraded to the short-lived Apple OneScanner in 1991 with 256 levels of grey.[7]
