July 2003: Epson has released its first entry-level flatbed scanners with a built-in ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) chip that allows image processing to take place on the scanner itself.
Both units are supplied with a new scanner driver that supports several photo restoration facilities, including dust removal and colour restoration. The latter can restore faded photographs to their original colours. Also bundled with each scanner is a software suite containing ArcSoft PhotoImpression, ABBY FineFiller for Optical character recognition, ABBY Form Filler for filling in fields on scanned forms, Presto Bizcard which scans business cards directly to your business card database, Presto PixExpress which allows scanning of images directly to a handheld Personal Digital Assistant and Epson’s Scan-to-Web and Photo Print applications.
