TRUE 1200dpi resolution
Featuring a 3-line TRUE 1200dpi sensor at the heart of its design, the FB1210U offers unprecedented freedom for your image processing needs. That's because with 1200dpi optical resolution at your command, the size of your original really doesn't matter - for example, you'll be able to scan a photograph, enlarge the image and get great results when printing with a photo-quality inkjet printer. Bringing out the best in the innovative 1200dpi sensor is Canon's advanced GALILEO lens which supplies the precision needed to produce high quality images.
Superior Colour Reproduction
Try the 42-bit input capability. It allows the FB1210U to detect far more colours than standard flatbed scanners. Which means image data with smoother gradations between colours and a superior degree of colour fidelity to your original. What's more, details found in the darken area of your photos are reproduced with greater accuracy. 42-bit scanning is especially effective with film originals and the optional Film Adapter Unit FAU-S11 enables you to scan positive or negative film in 35mm and various medium-sized formats.
Convenient USB interface
The CanoScan FB1210U plugs directly into the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port on your Windows PC or Macintosh, making it very simple to set up and get started. Another benefit of the USB connection is that it offers rapid data transmission between the scanner and your computer, so that the FB1210U is maximally efficient whether you're using it for work or for pleasure.
Exceptionally user-friendly operation
Colour printouts? Fax or e-mail? Image editing? Get the scans you need for the application you're working on with no fuss at all. One touch of the FB1210's Start button brings the handy ScanGear Toolbox CS on screen and from there you need only to click on the final destination of your scan. The scanner will produce images properly formatted to the application you've chosen, saving you the time and trouble of having to specify scan settings yourself. (Of course, when you do wish to make adjustments, you can take advantage of ScanGear CS-U, a user-friendly software equipped with settings for tone curves, Gamma value and more)
