For Sale:  NEW Xerox Flat Bed Full Page Scanner
                (Capable of 450dpi and 256 Grays within software)
 
Model:  Xerox DataCopy 730GS
 
I've recently acquired a NEW Xerox Full Page flat bed scanner, and I'm
selling it because I don't really have a use for it right now (the
school has color scanners which I have access to should I need them).  I
had access to one of these about a year ago, and got to play around with
it quite a bit.  It's scanning area is larger than the standard 8.5x11"
piece of paper (I believe it's A4 size or something like that) 
The old software I used to use it with (MacImage, created by Xerox) said
the scanner could scan 450 dpi with 256 greys.  My eyes are not sharp
enough for me to tell, but I did see a difference between the various
grey/resolution densities.  I no longer have the software, but have a
PhotoShop Plug-In.  (see below)  The line art is quite excellent, and I
often find it difficult to distinguish between the original and a
laser-printout of the image.  Front control panel includes brightness
selection buttons.
 
The scanner is controlled through a plug-in module that works with
PhotoShop.  It's real handy since the software I used to use it with was
real crappy and I had to import into PhotoShop anyhow.  Under the file
menu, all you need to do is choose ACQUIRE, and it brings in the image
automatically under PhotoShop.
 
The scanner should work with an IBM compatible, however, you would need
a copy of scanning software that supports (I believe that OPhoto does).
The scanner also has a centronics (parrallel port) on it for linking it
to a PC.
 
It connects through the SCSI port and can be configured with any SCSI
ID.  Original boxes, manual, and packing materials are included as well.
 
Looking in recent catalogues and magazines, I've seen the HP ScanJet IIP
selling for around $600 (300dpi, 8-bit, 256 Greys).  The AppleOneScanner
goes for a little more, although not much more, $700 (300dpi, 8-bit, 256
Greys).  Based on the current prices for new scanners, I figure the
Xerox scanner would be worth about $275 + shipping.
 
I'll give a thirty-day guarantee against failure.  The scanner is new,
and I think it even has the plastic protective wrap on the front control
panel.
 
Let me know what you think.  I'm also open to trades.  You never know
what strange unwanted equipment I might be interested in.  Give me a try!
Send me a DETAILED list of what you have and how much you think it's worth.
 
Please email if you have even the slightest bit of interest!
