The Apple Color OneScanner is a one-pass 24-bit colour flatbed scanner that Apple sold as the colour successor to the Apple OneScanner. A tri-linear CCD captures eight bits each of red, green and blue in a single pass, which gives better colour registration than scanners that make a separate pass for each colour.[1][2] Its case is almost the same size and shape as the OneScanner's and its internal layout is similar, but the logic board and mechanics are new. An Apple ASIC on the main logic board does colour correction in hardware.[1] Apple's Tech Info Library described it in January 1993, its model label carries a 1992 copyright date, and Wikipedia places it in the year after the 1991 OneScanner.[3]

The scanner came with Ofoto 2.0 from Light Source, ColorSync colour matching and HyperScan 2.0.1 for HyperCard, plus the book The Basics of Color Design in the accessory kit.[1] The model label reads "Apple Color OneScanner, Model Number: M5813" with FCC ID BCGM5813 and a US rating of 120 V, 60 Hz, 2 A.[4]

Revision A and Revision B

[edit | edit source]

There are two revisions. Revision A has a lamp access door on the right side of the case, through which the lamp comes out; Revision B has no door, and its lamp is changed from inside after the top cover and glass are removed.[7][2][8] Apple's Tech Info Library says the door is the only difference. The two Service Source chapters do not quite agree with that: they give different part numbers for most modules, and the Revision B chapter lists one power supply fuse (FU1) where Revision A has three.[7][2][8]

Hardware

[edit | edit source]

The main assemblies are the optical assembly (lamp, CCD and optics on a carrier), the carrier motor and drive belt, a transformer, a power supply board, the 24-bit logic board under a cover, the scan start board and the inverter assembly for the lamp.[2] The universal model has a voltage selector under a screwed cover, and a US scanner can be converted to universal by fitting the universal transformer and bracket plate assembly.[2] The rear panel has two SCSI connectors, the power switch and the mains inlet.[9]

The scanner's SCSI ID is set with a select switch on the scanner, factory-set to 2. Apple's chart says not to use 7, 8, 9 or 0.[2]
