Mumbai: BenQ India (www.BenQ.co.in) will offer its innovative Merge Magic software with its range of scanners. With Merge Magic Wizard, one can scan pictures or text which is larger than A4 size without having to go through the hassle of reducing the picture through a copier first.

For the end user, the way that Merge Magic would work is that on starting the Merge Magic Wizard, one just folds the documents into two halves and scan them separately. On finishing, just press the Merge key and the Merge is completed.

BenQ also plans to launch an USB 2.0 scanner shortly. The company already offers a complete range of scanners comprising 640P (Parallel Port), 4300U (600x1200 dpi USB), 5300U, 5000E, 5000U (1200x2400 dpi USB) and 640BT (600 dpi x 1200 dpi transparency scanners).

The product will be available through BenQ’s regional distributors, Roop for west India and Andhra Pradesh, IT Eastern for Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry, Micromax for north India, and Byte Peripherals for Madhya Pradesh.

BenQ has an effective presence in display (LCD and CRT monitors); digital display (plasma screen and projectors); storage (CD-ROM, CD-RWs and DVD-RWs); Media (CD-media); imaging (scanners and digital cameras) and input devices (keyboards and mice).

In a step towards refining its current distribution strategy, BenQ has adopted a regional model of distribution and is also in the process of identifying key distributors who could specialise in distributing individual product lines. The company is targeting its products like projectors with digital light processing (DLP) technology, the world’s slimmest LCD monitors with smart panel for the Indian market, and plasma screens.
