          Hand-Held Grayscale Scanner

          "Next Generation" Scanner Features Parallel Port Interface,
          New Case Design; Includes Caere's(R) OmniPage(R) Direct
          AnyFont(TM) OCR Software for Logitech

          Fremont, Calif. -- June 28, 1993 -- Logitech is announcing
          ScanMan EasyTouch, a boardless, 256 grayscale,
          Windows(TM)-based hand-held scanner. Available in late
          August at a list price of US$399, the ScanMan EasyTouch
          package includes Logitech's FotoTouch(TM) Version 1.2 Color
          Image Editing Software and OmniPage Direct AnyFont OCR
          Software for Logitech, developed by Caere for Logitech
          scanners and tailored to the special needs of hand-held
          scanning. The parallel port interface of ScanMan EasyTouch
          makes scanning available to all users, including those with
          laptop machines and others who do not wish to open their
          machines to install hardware.

          ScanMan EasyTouch features a totally redesigned case, which
          reflects Logitech's continuing concern with ergonomic
          design.  Users hold the unit with the hand extended straight
          out from the wrist, a position which is more natural and
          comfortable. To facilitate straight, smooth scanning, the
          main roller is now made of a polycarbon material which can
          be more precisely machined to perfect roundness.

          ScanMan EasyTouch plugs directly into the parallel port of a
          computer. A special pass-through adaptor permits the user to
          operate a printer through the same parallel port without
          disconnecting the scanner. Programmability of the scanner
          head enables the setting of resolution, scan mode, and
          contrast through software, resulting in a near-buttonless
          head (start/stop button only).

          The TWAIN-compliant scanning software included with ScanMan
          EasyTouch contains Logitech's AutoStitch feature, which
          automatically merges multiple strips to produce images up to
          15 inches wide. In addition, this and all other Logitech
          software for Windows, including FotoTouch Color and OmniPage
          Direct AnyFont OCR Software for Logitech, now feature an
          online, context-sensitive graphical help system.

          Logitech has announced it will bundle FotoTouch Color Image
          Editing Software with all its Windows-based scanners. This
          application, which evolved from the original award-winning
          FotoTouch software, is both TWAIN-compliant and an OLE
          (Object Linking and Embedding) server. It features an
          extensive set of basic editing tools, selection effects, and
          the ability to open multiple images onscreen and cut and
          paste among these. In addition, a new feature, printer
          profiles, has been added.  Through printer profiles,
          FotoTouch Color optimizes tone and contrast for specific
          printer types and brands.

          "Today, only two percent of the installed base of personal
          computer users own a scanner, so there's a tremendous
          untapped market out there," says Molly Carlson, Logitech
          product manager. "We believe the ability to easily integrate
          images into a document without having to open up their
          computers or worry about DMA channels and interrupts will
          help to bring scanning into the mainstream of personal
          computing. Moreover, the other main market for this product,
          portable computers, promises to grow at an extremely healthy
          rate over the next few years."

          System Requirements for ScanMan EasyTouch include an
          IBM-compatible AT with a 386SX processor or above, 4 MB RAM,
          5 MB free disk space, DOS 3.1 or higher, a VGA or better
          graphics card, Microsoftr Windows 3.1, and a Logitech or
          compatible pointing device.

          Logitech manufactures and markets "Senseware" -- products
          designed to give "senses" such as sight, sound, and touch to
          the computer, making human-to-computer communication more
          intuitive and natural. Logitech International, the financial
          holding company for the Logitech Group, is traded publicly
          in Switzerland on the Zurich and Geneva exchanges. With
          operational headquarters in Fremont, Calif., the group
          maintains manufacturing facilities in Fremont, California;
          Hsinchu, Taiwan; Shanghai, China; and Cork, Ireland; and
          offices in major cities in the U.S., Europe, and the Far
          East.
