Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What upgrades does the Perfection 1260 introduce over older models like the 1250 series?
  The Perfection 1260 features an updated, higher-performance command engine that improves raw image transfer stability over USB interfaces. It retains the signature ultra-slim profile layout, full 48-bit internal color depth depth management, and the multi-button front layout containing four separate dedicated automation buttons (Start, Copy, Web, and Email) to streamline document distribution workflows instantly.
• Can I scan transparent items like negatives, film strips, or slides on this device?
  Out of the box, this configuration features a standard solid opaque document lid cover meant strictly for reflective materials like photo prints or text pages. To process light-transmitting media, you must purchase and install the optional external transparency unit backlight attachment module. If your workflow requires film tracking out of the box, check out the specialized Perfection 1260 Photo package instead.
• Does this desktop scanner feature an integrated automatic document feeder (ADF)?
  No. This is a slim, compact single-sheet consumer flatbed scanner meant for manual single-page image preservation and photo scans. If your workflow requires stacking and processing multi-page office documents automatically, a dedicated workgroup sheet-fed roller scanner is recommended.
• How do I release the unit from its safe carriage transit lock configuration?
  Before connecting power cords or executing scanning pipelines, place the scanner body flat on a stable workstation table. Turn the scanner upside down and locate the physical carriage transport lock switch or slider pin positioned on the bottom casing panel, then slide it into the unlocked setting to free up the internal optical scanning assembly carriage block.
