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.

CHAPTER 1

Installing the SCSI Card

These procedures are only required for use of the scanner with the Windows

platform.

What is a SCSI Card?

SCSI (pronounced ‘scuzzy’) is a standard interface for connecting SCSI

devices, such as scanners and hard disk drives. SCSI connectors are

usually not supplied as standard equipment on computers running

Windows. Accordingly, a SCSI card with a SCSI connector must be

installed to connect SCSI devices together.

SCSI Card

SCSI Connector

•Before you pick up the SCSI card, discharge the static electric-

ity from your body by touching a grounded metal surface like

the chassis of the computer.

•Do not remove the SCSI card from its protective wrapping

until you are ready to install it.

•Hold the SCSI card by the edges. Never touch the terminals or

other circuitry with your bare hands.

•Using the computer with the SCSI card installed incorrectly

can damage the SCSI card. Make sure the SCSI card is installed

correctly before use.

•If you experience difficulty with installation or in using the

SCSI card, call a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

•The SCSI card shipped with this product is not guaranteed to

support daisy chain device configurations. It is recommended

that this SCSI card be used only to connect the scanner to your

computer.

•Windows models can be used with Windows 95, Windows 98

and Windows NT 4.0.
