TWAIN Compliant

The Paragon 1200 FS is a TWAIN compliant scanner. Through TWAIN, the 1200 FS can scan directly into many supported applications, providing flexibility and value.

Easy SCSI Installation

Windows installation is effortless with the included 32-bit PCI SCSI card. Windows 95/98 automatically recognizes the interface card when installed and sets all required resources.

Easy To Use

The Direct Scan Program (Windows 95/98 only) automatically launches when you open the scanner cover. Choose the destination for your scanned document from Photo Express SE, TextBridge Pro OCR, Fax, Print or e-mail. Press the scan button and your document will automatically be sent to the proper application. Users who desire more control over scanner settings can bypass the Direct Scan Program and use the 1200 FS TWAIN driver instead.

Image Editing

With the easy-to-use interface of Ulead's Photo Express SE, you can quickly turn your scanned images into greeting cards, announcements and invitations. You can incorporate your favorite images into calendars and brochures or you can just stick to the basics and use Photo Express SE's retouching tools to make all of your pictures look their best.

Scan and Recognize Text

With its "Instant Access OCR" feature, ScanSoft TextBridge OCR software allows documents to be scanned for editing directly with your word processing software. TextBridge is powerful and easy to use, capable of recognizing many different fonts at various sizes, quickly and accurately converting scanned documents into editable formats.
