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).
