Description
The CanoScan D1230UF USB Flatbed Scanner puts state-of-the-art, user-friendly film scanning technology right on your desk. The Film Adapter Unit is built right into the scanner lid, so you can easily scan slides, transparencies, film, photos and text. Everything you need-from faster scanning speeds and greater color bit depth to professional software-comes standard.With its built-in backlight for scanning film, the D1230UF scanner produces high-resolution scans automatically. In fact, it features advanced 48-bit color technology for truly spectacular scanning results. And because the D1230UF scanner achieves true optical resolution, images are sharper, more dramatic and maintain their quality and detail when enlarged. The D1230UF scanner's innovative Data Compression Transfer technology automatically reduces file sizes, allowing faster transport of data over the USB cable to your computer with absolutely no loss in quality. The file is automatically restored to its full size when opened on your computer. And editing files is easier than ever, using Adobe Photoshop LE software included in the box. This professional-quality software features numerous tools to help you enhance and manipulate photos and create great-looking projects.
Combining ease of use with exceptional clarity, the CanoScan D1230UF provides a resolution of 1,200 x 2,400 dpi and 48-bit color with the touch ofa single button. The simplicity stays the same whether you're scanning reflectives or transparencies; the film adapter is built directly into the scanner's lid, so you won't have to juggle awkward accessories. Maximum processing sizes are 4 by 5 inches for film and 8.5 by 11 inches for documents, so photography buffs will have plenty of flexibility in creating finely detailed film enlargements.
The USB interface is compatible with either PC or Macintosh, as is the accompanying software package, which includes Photoshop 5.0 LE, ArcSoft PhotoBase 2.1, and ScanSoft OmniPage 9.0. Canon offers a one-year warranty that covers parts and labor, along with a free Instant Exchange program.

my old scanner burnt out 18months ago or so.... it was very cheap .. and so I thought this time I'll buy better quality.. not so.. the "film adapter unit" consists of a light in the lid of course and, a cardboard like lid liner two pieces of plastic, (with two subpieces)and two pieces of black construction paper ( reminds me of my youth and being the first one to open the new breakfast cereal to get the punchout toys)Canon decided that one piece of paper would suffice for both 35mm slides and 120 ..so made the opening for the larger and tells us to cut our own piece of paper to fill the the 35mm opening .. the lid liner which must be added for prints attaches through some punch holes that I see becoming unusuable in about 10 removals give or take..ALL THIS at a premium price. and it's SLOW.. as slow as my old cheap model the scan is fairly quick the "light adjustment" time is interminable ! save your money !
great scanner

Using this scanner with a new 533 G4 Powermac running 9.1. Worked perfectly right out of the box, with beautiful scans and software that worked as advertised, including the OCR. And the slide/transparency adapter actually works fairly well. Scans are quite quick due to the lossless compression scheme used by Canon to speed up data throughput with the USB connection. A bit pricey but I think the quality and convenience of this scanner make it a good value.
