Apple OneScanner

The Apple OneScanner was a peripheral that was released by Apple Computer on September 27, 1991 to succeed the Apple Scanner. Unlike the previous 4-bit (16-shades) scanner model, the OneScanner supported 8-bit (256 shades) grayscale scanning.

History
The original OneScanner was succeeded by the Apple Color OneScanner in the following year. A series of updated models followed, culminating with the Color OneScanner 1200/30, which featured a resolution of 600x1200 dpi and 30-bit color scanning. The entire OneScanner series used SCSI as its primary interface.

The scanners were offered with a variety of software. For basic scanning needs they included Ofoto one-button scanning software, and HyperScan 2.0 for scanning into HyperCard. Later versions shipped with Xerox TextBridge for OCR and ColorSync support.

The OneScanner was also offered in a version for Microsoft Windows, with Ofoto 2.0.
