You are a looking at an Epson Expression 1640XL Large format scanner with optional photo/negative Transparency Unit. This unit was removed from a local graphics arts studio during recent upgrades. This is a very clean unit with amazing capabilities. It has seen little to moderate use.
The scanner has been fully tested including the Transparency Unit. The glass on both surfaces is in excellent condition.
Epson also has a great support site to download software, manuals, and all drivers. This was tested on my PowerMac G4 running OS 10.4. The software is very easy to use and includes Home, Office, And Professional Modes. I do not have a copy of the orginal software disks. Drivers for both Windows and Mac OS can be obtained from Epson's sites.
*This was used in a PET-Free and Smoke Free Environment*
*Optional Firewire Card is NOT installed on this unit*
