BenQ’s new Scanner: boosting productivity

Europe, 19 December 2002 BenQ’s new S2W 5450 Scanner packs everything you need in a scanner into a slim, strikingly designed exterior – for a price that makes it almost too good to be true. With an optical 1200 X 2400 dpi (offering a maximum resolution of 19200 X 19200 dpi) and 48-bit colour (both input and output), it performs with the best of them. What’s more, thanks to its high-speed USB 2.0 (480 MP/S) interface – which is up to 40 X faster than USB 1.1 – it really boosts productivity, providing amazingly fast scans while still guaranteeing superb scan quality.

Quality is built-in: the unique SIE (Superior Image Enhancement) technology ensures ultra-realistic colours and crisp details. The kernel of the SIE auto-tunes the R, G, and B channels optimal parameters to ensure as a faithful reproduction of the original image. The S2W 5450 also features Merge Magic – BenQ’s unique solution to creating A3 scans without the need for digitalising large images. It ensures that two A4 scans are seamlessly matched together to provide an A3 output. And it also includes BenQ’s Mirascan that provides the user with a changeable skin to freshen and highlight the original’s quality.

BenQ’s S2W 5450 is a striking piece of technology. It is slim and features a very attractive, crisp rounded design that complements to perfection its metallic blue colour. And it features the sort of intuitive, user-friendly interface that is always a mark of BenQ products. The Q Smart push-button selection allows the user instant access to Scan, Copy, and Scan-to-Email (the most frequently used functions); in addition, the agility of the interface allows Scan-to-Web, Scan-to-Applications, Scan-to-OCR, and Scan-to-File operations.

The BenQ S2W 5450 is designed as a feature-packed entry-level model to the high-speed market segment and fits perfectly alongside the other BenQ scanners in this segment. It will undoubtedly confirm BenQ’s reputation as a supplier of high-quality, state-of-the-art scanners to meet the needs of a wide range of markets.
