Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What separates the Perfection 1200S configuration from the baseline Perfection 1200U model?
  The fundamental image capture system and optical resolution parameters are entirely identical. The critical distinction lies in connectivity: the 1200S (MPN: B104021) utilizes a dedicated high-speed SCSI data port tailored for advanced workstation computer systems or legacy setups, whereas the 1200U variant utilizes a standard USB architecture.
• Can I scan transparent items like film strips, slides, or negatives on this system?
  Yes, but it requires specialized hardware. Out of the box, this scanner features an opaque document lid meant for reflective media like paper text sheets or flat photo prints. To process light-transmitting media, you can swap the default cover for the optional external transparent illumination backlight unit lid.
• Can I stack multiple paperwork documents and scan them automatically?
  Out of the box, this unit operates as a high-precision manual single-sheet flatbed layout designed for creative design or standalone archiving. If your office needs to process large queues of typical multi-page text records, an external automatic document feeder (ADF) accessory can be installed.
• How do I release the unit from its safe transit configuration?
  Before connecting power cords or initializing software scripts, place the scanner body flat on a stable workstation table. Locate the physical carriage transport lock switch or lever positioned on the scanner assembly chassis, then shift it into the unlocked setting to free up the internal optical carriage block.
