Features of the CanoScan FB1200S

This scanner is a flatbed color scanner with 1200 dpi optical resolution
incorporating the following features.
• Fine Color Tones and High Resolution
Achieves a maximum optical resolution of 1200 dpi x 1200
dpi. The 1200 dpi primary scan (horizontally across
document) is realized with VAROS, the proprietary Canon
system short for VAriable Refraction Optical System. VAROS
is a two-pass scanning technique that combines the results
of the scanning unit's first pass with a second pass that is
optically shifted by a half pixel. Reading 12 bits (4,096
colors) per red, green and blue (RGB) channel, the scanner
offers 12-bit or 8-bit output that reproduces brilliant tones
at high resolution.
• Standby Power and Energy-Saving Features
This scanner, even with the power on, consumes only 12
watts or lower at standby and only 35 watts or lower at full
operation. The standby feature means the scanner is always
ready to use. The product meets the Energy Star
requirements for energy conservation.
• Convenient Start Button
The one-touch start button on the front of the scanner
allows convenient use of the accompanying software
(ScanGear Toolbox CS/CanoScan Toolbox CS).
• Optional Film Adapter Unit
The FAU-S10 optional film adapter unit allows films and
transparencies to be scanned singly or in batches, increasing
the versatility of this high-quality scanner. Refer to the
manual accompanying the FAU-S10.
• Optional Automatic Document Feeder
The ADF-S9 optional automatic document feeder permits
hands-free operation for up to 20 sheets, a convenient
time-saving feature. Refer to the Product Guide.
