The packages consist of a scanner plus hardware and software options including, an upgrade from monochrome to express colour scanning, a choice of normal floor or universal repro stands, ScanWorks for scan to file and CopyWorks for copying software. These options, worth at least £2,185 are included free of charge.

Delivery of all scanner packages is included in the price.
