[1] It was Apple's first scanner, capable scanning A4 (8.5 in × 14.0 in) paper at a bit depth of 4 bits (16 levels of grey) at a maximum resolution of 300 dpi.
[2] The scanner could complete a full scan in 20.4 seconds.
[citation needed] It shipped with a SCSI connection[3] with an unused serial port.
To control the scanner, it came with both AppleScan and HyperScan, the latter allowed users to scan directly from within HyperCard.
The scanner was upgraded to the short-lived Apple OneScanner in 1991 with 256 levels of grey.
