MCA S600C. (Mitsubishi Chemical America's document scanner) (Hardware Review)(Evaluation)
Macworld, June, 1997 by Beckman, Mel
Document scanning with a flatbed scanner is a tedious, repetitive chore. Sheetfed scanners can help, but they usually have limited resolution and fall short when capturing graphics. Mitsubishi's MCA S600C scanner bridges that gap, combining proficient medium-speed document scanning with exquisite color capabilities.
The S600C is about the size of a compact ink-jet printer. It supports 64-level halftone, 256-level gray scale, and--unlike competing vertical sheetfed scanners, including the Visioneer PaperPort Vx (see Reviews, March 1996)--16.7-million-color scanning modes. The S600C offers an optical resolution of 300 by 600 dpi, with interpolation up to 2400 dpi. A built-in sheet feeder holds 10 pages and feeds up to 6 pages per minute.
