UMAX' exclusive IIPE technology automatically detects if your document or photograph should be color, gray, or black and white; automatically assigns the optimum resolution for scanning; automatically crops your image; automatically rotates the scanned image if it is askew on the scan bed. Featuring fast push-button scanning, the Astra 3400 includes Scan, Copy, Custom (E-mail or OCR), and Power Saving buttons. By combining the push-button functionality and Intelligent Image Process Engine (IIPE) technology, UMAX has provided users with the functionality to scan many types of reflective media with just a push of a button. The Power Saving button allows the user to power-off the scanner's fluorescent lamp without losing the connection to the computer through the USB port. To power back on the scanner's lamp, simply press the Power Saving button a second time. There is no need to refresh your computer since the USB connection through the USB port was maintained.
