Superb image quality


The CanoScan FB1200S produces high quality scans at 1200x1200dpi resolution (600dpi x2 with VAROS). An impressive 36-bit colour input (12-bit input for red, green and blue) gives accurate high quality colour recognition even when the image has both shadow and highlight details. With this type of specification, the CanoScan FB1200S attracts business and graphics users, as well as others who require the highest quality.


Fully integrated software package

Offering a complete out of the box solution, the CanoScan FB1200S comes with a fully integrated and updated software package for both PC and Macintosh. All the software you need to scan images, edit and retouch pictures, import text or make straightforward copies is included on one CD-ROM.

Using Canon’s ScanGear Toolbox software an image can be automatically scanned into an application, printed, emailed or even faxed, just by clicking on one of the buttons in the toolbox window, or by pressing the one-touch scanning button situated at the front of the scanner.

For use on a PC, the TWAIN driver acts as a stand alone scanning application or enables scanning directly into a variety of applications, allowing control over the size, resolution, and colour of your scan, plus a variety of other elements. The package also includes Adobe PhotoShop, a powerful image manipulation software, as well as OmniPage LE optical character recognition (OCR) software, allowing you to scan text directly into word processing programs. Finally, CanoCraft Copier acts as a photocopier on your desktop, allowing you to make full colour copies, enlarge or reduce, and print out in one operation.

For use on a Macintosh, the Plug-in Module CS-U 3.3 is provided, as well as Adobe PhotoDeluxe, a comprehensive imaging package from Adobe, the industry choice of the graphics market
