With a 600 dpi optical resolution, it delivers crisp text and clear images for digitizing documents, forms, photos, and more.

Whether you’re digitizing reports, invoices, receipts, or archival materials, the SP-1425 is built to fit into tight spaces without compromising on performance. This description pulls together core attributes from available product listings and usage notes to present a comprehensive picture of why the SP-1425 stands out as a compact, capable scanner for a variety of tasks.

• Compact design for small desks, shared workstations, dorm rooms, and tight corners. Its slim profile minimizes clutter while still delivering reliable flatbed scanning when needed, making it simple to add scanning capability to limited spaces without rearranging your setup.
• Duplex scanning with the integrated ADF allows you to scan both sides of a document in one pass. This feature dramatically reduces the time required to digitize multi-page materials like contracts, invoices, forms, and reports, helping you maintain momentum in busy workflows.
