In August 1988 Apple Computer introduced the Apple Scanner. [1] It was their first A4 (8.5 in × 14.0 in) flatbed scanner. It was capable of a 4-bit image with 16 levels of grey in a maximum resolution of 300 dpi. [2] The scanner could complete a full scan in 20.4 seconds.[ citation needed] It shipped with a SCSI connection [3] with an unused serial port.
To control the scanner, it came with both AppleScan and HyperScan, the latter allowed users to scan directly from within HyperCard. [4] Later, only AppleScan was offered. [3]
Many internal components are branded "Toshiba" and "TEC", [5] suggesting that the OEM of the Apple Scanner was Toshiba TEC.
The scanner was upgraded to the short-lived Apple OneScanner in 1991 with 256 levels of grey. [6]
