CanoScan FS2720U Film Scanner

Features of the CanoScan FS2720U Film Scanner

This 2720-dots-per-inch scanner is equipped with a range of outstanding features, a few of

which are mentioned below.

Natural Color Reproduction

The CanoScan FS2720U utilizes a white cold-cathode xenon lamp, highly rated

for reproducing colors closely correlated to natural sunlight. Its proprietary

Canon electrode array also eliminates inconsistencies in illumination. What’s

more, its extensive list of notable features includes long life, low power con-

sumption and immediate startup when the power is switched on.

Fine Color Gradations and High Quality

The scanner is equipped with dedicated line sensors that deliver a basic resolu-

tion of 2720 dpi for each red, blue and green (RBG) channel. This is comple-

mented by its single-pass scanning process, which achieves speed without color

leaching. By scanning at 12 bits per RBG channel (4096 colors each) and output-

ting at 8 or 12 bits per channel, the scanner delivers fine color gradations and

superior image quality.

IX240 Film (Advanced Photo System) Support

The IW-50 Film Viewer is included so that IX240 film used in Advanced Photo

System cameras can be as easily processed as standard 35 mm Film.

Fully Automated (Autofocus/Auto Color Balance)

After the film is inserted, all you need do is click the [Scan] or [Save] button on

your computer screen. The focus, brightness and color balance adjust automati-

cally to produce top-quality images effortlessly.

Dust Cover Shuts Out Dirt

The scanner is equipped with a dust cover that stops dirt and dust from entering

the interior.

Placement Precautions

CAUTION

•Do not place the equipment near alcohol, thinners or other flammable sub-

stances. There is a risk of fire or electric shock if flammable substances enter

the equipment’s interior.

•Do not place any of the following items on top of the equipment. There is a

risk of fire or electric shock if any of these items contact the equipment’s

internal electrical components.

- Necklaces and other metallic objects

- Liquid filled vessels, such as cups, glasses, flower pots and vases

•If a liquid enters the equipment, immediately unplug the power cord from the

electrical outlet and contact your distributor or the nearest Canon Customer

Support Help Desk, which is listed at the back of the Getting Started Guide.

ATTENTION

•Do not place the equipment in the following types of location, which may

involve the risk of fire or electric shock.

- Damp or dusty environments

- Locations subject to direct sunlight

- Locations subject to high temperatures

- Locations close to flames

•Do not place the equipment on uneven or unstable surfaces or places subject

to vibration. There is a risk that the equipment could fall and cause injury.

•Do not place heavy objects on the equipment. There is a risk that they could

fall and cause injury.

CanoScan FS2720U Film Scanner

Power Supply Precautions

CAUTION

•Do not score, damage or dismantle the power cord or plug. In addition, do not

place heavy objects on, twist or force the cord. There is a risk that short-circuits

from exposed wiring could lead to fire or electric shock.

•Do not handle the plug with wet hands. There is a risk of electric shock.

•Avoid plugging too many power cords into the same electrical outlet. There is

a risk of fire or electric shock.

•Do not bunch up or knot the power cord. There is a risk of fire or electric

shock.

•Insert the plug of the power cord all of the way into the electrical outlet. Loose

plugs may to lead to fire or electric shock.

•Do not use a power cord other than the type shipped with the equipment. Use

of other cords may lead to fire or electric shock.

•In principle, avoid using extension cords, which may lead to fire or electric

shock. If their use is unavoidable, limit the length to 5 meters (16 feet) or less.

In addition, unbunch the cords and ensure that power and extension plugs are

firmly connected. Do not use more than one extension cord in the same

electrical outlet.

•Do not use extension cords in passageways or other locations where people

are likely to step on or trip over the cord and damage it. Short-circuits from

exposed wiring could lead to fire and electric shock.

ATTENTION

•Do not use the equipment with electrical supplies exceeding the rated voltage.

There is a risk of fire or electric shock.

•Ensure that you grasp the plug by its solid portion when unplugging the power

cord. Pulling it out by the cord may wear the cord, expose the insulation and

wiring, and lead to fire or electric shock.

•Always leave a clear area around the electrical outlet so that the power cord

can be immediately unplugged if a contingency should arise.

•Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet at least once a year, and

clean the area around the base of the plug’s metal pins to ensure all dust is

remmoved. If dust accumulates in this area, it may result in a fire.

General Handling Precautions

CAUTION

•Do not disassemble, alter or attempt to repair any part of the equipment. The

internal components include high-voltage parts that may lead to fire or electric

shock if incorrectly handled or repaired.

•Unplug the equipment immediately if it emits strange noises, smoke or heat,

or responds abnormally. Contact the distributor or the nearest Canon Cus-

tomer Support Help Desk. Continued use of the equipment could lead to fire

or electric shock.

•Do not use flammable sprays or substances near the equipment. There is a risk

of fire or electric shock if the spray contacts the equipment’s internal compo-

nents.

•Do not insert or drop metallic objects, such as paperclips or staples, into the

interior of the equipment. Be careful also not to spill water, other liquids or

solvents (alcohol, benzene or thinners, etc.) into it. There is a risk of fire or

electric shock if any of these substances contact the equipment’s internal

components. Immediately unplug the equipment if anything gets inside it and

contact your distributor or the nearest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

•Do not use the equipment on its side.

•Unplug the equipment before cleaning it. Failure to do so could lead to fire or

electric shock.

•Use a well-wrung damp cloth to clean the exterior of the equipment. Do not

use alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable substances to clean it.

Contact between these substances and the equipment’s electrical components

could lead to fire or electric shock.

ATTENTION

•Unplug the equipment as a safety precaution if it will be left unused over an

extended period, such as a holiday.

•Take adequate care when carrying or moving the equipment. Dropping it may

cause injury.

•Wait for the equipment to cool down after removing the plug before covering

it with a dust cover or similar device. There is a risk of fire.

•Do not play the CD-ROM in an audio CD player. The loud volume of its

contents may lead to ear damage.

Follow the guidelines below to locate a safe place to operate the scanner.

•Operate the scanner within the following parameters.

- Temperature range: 5°to 35°C (41°- 95°F)

- Humidity range: 10% to 90% relative humidity (without condensation)

•Operate the scanner with a power supply conforming to the following param-

eters.

- Voltage: 110V (10% volts alternating current)

- Frequency: 50/60 Hertz

•Ensure that there is sufficient clear space around the scanner. The diagram

illustrates the space that should be kept clear as viewed from directly above

the unit.

• The interface cable supplied with the scanner is 1.85 meters (6 feet) in length.

Ensure that the scanner is placed within its reach.

•Do not place it in locations subject to extreme changes in temperature or

humidity, which may cause condensation to form and reduce the scanner’s

image quality. If the scanner is being transported from a high temperature to a

low temperature, or vice versa, allow the unit sufficient time to adjust to the

new temperature before using it.

•Do not use the scanner in places subject to direct sunlight or strong light.
