We just bought a Chinon DS2000 scanner. It's a plain jane -- no bells
and whistles -- but it works real well. Some features:
* 100, 120, 150, & 200 dpi settings
* text or graphics
* has a serial interface -- or a parallel for dumping right to a printer
* all configuration is software-settable -- like resolution, data
compression, scanning area, contrast, and others
It's a camera-based, one-dimensional CCD unit. The camera is a head that
scans a flat surface using a rotating mirror.
Like I said, it's not top-o-the-line, but it works well for us. The
DS3000 scans at 300 dpi, but is much the same elsewhere. An example of a
scanned image can be FTD'd anonymously from smaug.cs.hope.edu
(35.197.146.1) as "~ftp/pub/raster/attack.Z". I use this as a background
image for SunView.
I wrote a SunView tool to drive the scanner. You are welcome to that if
you want. If you're interested in more info, let me know.
