Canon

Canon has combined its advanced optical, electronics, and software technologies to develop a 4,800-dpi high-resolution scanner, enabling photo prints and 35 mm film as well as text-based documents to be converted into high-grade digital data. Contributing to further expanding the world of imaging, Canon offers CCD-model scanners and slim-body CIS scanners, with both types providing users with an extensive array of functions..

The scanning mechanism is not the only factor that determines scanner performance. The driver that processes the data from the scanner and reproduces the image is equally important. Canon's ScanGear scanner driver is designed not only to enable exceptional ease of use but also to deliver a wide range of image-processing features.

With scanners that employ conventional fluorescent lamps, about 30 seconds of warm-up time is required after startup or re-activation from sleep mode. The CanoScan 8800F CCD-type A4-size flatbed scanner incorporates a high-brightness white LED to eliminate warm-up time and ensure stable light intensity immediately upon starting up the scanner, greatly enhancing operating efficiency.
