Maximum scan size refers to the dimensions in millimetres of the largest document that the scanner can digitise.

A larger scan size means that the scanner is equipped to handle bigger documents, and is therefore more versatile and helpful, especially if you find yourself routinely needing to scan documents larger than A4.

Duplex scanning denotes whether the scanner has the ability to scan both sides of a sheet of paper at once, rather than just one.

Duplex scanning is very helpful for quick and efficient scanning of books, notes and any kind of double-sided documents.

We do not know the number of input colour depths on the Fujitsu FI65F. It is possible that it does not have any input colour depths.

input colour depth denotes how many colours are used by the scanner when digitizing and creating the scan of the original document.

The higher the colour depth, the larger the amount of colours that can be used - meaning greater subtlety and richness, leading to a better final image.

'Optical scanning resolution' denotes the detail level of the image produced by the scanner, measured in dots per inch (DPI).

A bigger optical scanning resolution means that the resulting image will be of a higher detail, and will more closely resemble the original document. Low scan resolutions may appear blurry or lacking in small details.
