Canon FB1200S Color Flatbed Scanner (PC/Mac)

Description

The CanoScan FB1200S is a high-performance 1200dpi scanner at a 600dpi cost. Using Canon's Variable Refraction Optical System (VAROS), this scanner provides true optical 1200dpi for best results, unlike other brands that rely on interpolation (software manipulation).PC and Mac compatible, this high-resolution SCSI interface flatbed features a scan button for ease of use. Integrated with Canon's ScanGear Toolbox software, this button allows you to scan images or documents straight into applications, print, email or even fax at the touch of a button. Available with two optional extras, a Film Adapter Unit (FAU) or an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), this flatbed appeals not only to the high-quality imaging professional, but also to the graphics and document management market.

The innovative CanoScan FB 1200S features state-of-the-art VAROS technology, delivering true optical 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution at a price far less than comparable machines. Thanks to Canon innovation, you get real 36-bit color depth for greater dynamic range and more realistic tones, and a convenient start button to instantly access software, all in a compact desktop design. It's a significant breakthrough for any studio, home, or office requiring high-quality scanning capability.

VAROS, Canon's exclusive Variable Refraction Optical System, achieves true optical 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution. This system automatically activates when scanning at resolutions greater than 600 dpi, capturing data that would otherwise be lost on a lesser scanner. The result is that the 1200S achieves brilliant tones at a dramatically higher resolution in less space and at a lower cost.

The CanoScan FB 1200S delivers the versatility and performance you'd expect from a much higher-priced machine. Install the dual-platform SCSI card (included) into your Mac or PC and breeze through text and photo scanning and manipulation with Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE and TextBridge Plus. Scan film, from 35mm to 8 by 10-inch sheets, using the optional film adapter unit. Add the automatic document feeder for multipage scanning.
