It handles the full spectrum of "technical document" applications including mapping, utility company records, architectural, engineering and construction drawings, newsprint and court documents. All of these applications, at one time outsourced to dedicated scanning operations, are now affordable by even the smallest start-up. Low cost doesn't mean sacrificing performance. The SmartLF Cx 40 is built for day in, day out use in industrial situations. It doesn't need to be realigned every time you move it from site to site, and it's ready to go from the moment you switch it on. It stands toe -to -toe with scanners costing 50% more, and its software is the best you can find, anywhere. SmartLF Cx 40 brings you color scanning for the price of others' black and white.

ScanWorks software additional charge option ScanWorks is thy, productivity tool for high-volume scanning applications. Other software typically uses a three-step pro- cess for scan optimization - you pre -scan to make necessary adjustments, then you rewind and re-scan for the end product. With ScanWorks this is a ONE-STEP process. The entire image is saved to disk and is available for any degree of post -processing, with no need for re-scanning (good news for delicate originals). By eliminating the need for re-scanning, ScanWorks boosts productivity by as much as 40%. Without rescanning you can, for instance, reduce the color depth of the image on disk, while viewing the effect on the monitor, then change it to grayscale, or reduce it to black and white. You can apply any of ScanWorks' many filters and con- trols, then overwrite the file on disk with the finished product. ScanWorks catalogs your favorite setups, allowing you to batch - process any number of image files in the same way without operator intervention. ScanWorks saves images in any of 14 file formats, compressed and uncompressed, including WMF, PNG, PDF, CALS, JPEG and TIFF. Loupe tool Zooms an area of interest for closer inspection. Can be moved freely around the entire image, with selectable magnification. SMARTLF Cx 40 IS BUILT TOUGH... being scanned Front drive rollers Reardrive rollers CIS imaging arrays BUT IT'S KIND TO DOCUMENTS Wide format scanners typically use a spring -loaded or weighted bar to hold the document firmly against the glass. If the loading is too light, crumpled documents scan poorly; if too heavy, delicate origi- nals - think tissues - may not scan at all, because they are stopped by the hold-down bar. That's a trade-off that doesn't apply to the Cx 40. Instead of a hold- down strip, the Cx 40 uses a pair of driven rollers to ensure consis- tent throughput of any type of document, from the thinnest paper to the heaviest Mylar. THREE VERSIONS OF THE Cx 40 SCANNER... ALL VERSIONS HAVE 40 INCH MAXIMUM IMAGE WIDTH AND CHOICE OF IMAGE RESOLU- TIONS UP TO 3600 DPI (MAXIMUM MEDIA WIDTH IS 44 INCHES, LENGTH UNLIMITED). • Model Cx 40M No color capability, but captures the full range of gray tones from black to white at 10.1 ips (inches per second) scanning speed. Scans non -color engineering drawings, photos, renderings and text (newsprint, etc.). • Model Cx 40C Full color capable. Scan speeds up to 0.84 ips color, 10.1 ips gray and black -on -white. Color range is 24 -bit RGB*. • Model Cx 40E Full color capable. Scan speeds up to 3.36 ips color, 10.1 ips gray and black -on -white. Color range is 24 -bit RGB*. • RGB refers to the primary colors Red, Green, Blue, combinations of which deliver 16.7 million colors. Practically all scanners claim resolutions as high as several thousands a" of dots per inch (dpi). But the fact is, any resolution higher than the scanner's optical (native) resolution relies on interpolation, a process Ont by which the scanner measures adjacent picture elements, then in- serts between them "vi rtual" elements based solely on computation. In with Id I other words, the scanner fabricates data that it doesn't actually see. N� .. That is not to say there is no use for interpolation, which often plays an essential role in image smoothing and scaling -to -fit. However, for fine detail capture there is no substitute for optical resolution, the higher the better. e With its 600 dpi contact image sensors, the Cx 40 of- fers unbeatable performance in all technical scanning applications, from the most detailed of maps to the finest of fine print in legal documents.

Quoted speeds are for scans at 200 dpi. This is equivalent to other manufacturers' "turbo 400 dpi", which is a 200 dpi scan in the document feed direction converted to 400 dpi by interpolation. 2 Quoted scan accuracy is valid for media up to 0.03 inches (0.8 mm) thick in typical office conditions. Results may vary depending on local conditions, and on media type and thickness. Cx 40 scanners are tested using a Mylar target at 20'C ± 3, C, 60% ± 10% RH. Mil��i1�irrur� Lam— t t ?

I have also attached the data sheets for your review. All 3 Bowe Bell & Howell specs are in one data sheet. Outlined below is a list of a few that we are familiar with: Wide Format Scanners: Contex SD4450 - 44" Color Scanner $8,525 Contex HD4250 - 42" Color Scanner $15,925 Bowe Bell & Howell - 36" Color Scanner $13,570 Bowe Bell & Howell - 42" Color Scanner $20,634 Bowe Bell & Howell - 48" Color Scanner $25,680 (t p fo,05 X -1y2, g7 I was told by our technical people that these scanners use Universal Capture which means that you would not need to purchase a ScanConnect license. I hope this helps! Let me know if you need more information. Sue Susan McCarthy Business Solutions Consultant General Code, LLC Phone: 800-836-8834 Fax: (585) 328-8189 10/23/2009
