## Description

Product description Canon's Portable USB Flatbed Scanner, the CanoScan N1220U. Fully powered by just a USB cable, no power cord to lose! desertcart.com The Canon CanoScan N1220U USB flatbed scanner is an impressive scanner. It's packed with power, fast, easy, and ultra slim. Standing just over 1 inch high, the N1220U fits almost anywhere in a small office.Even though it's slim, you can still scan bulky items because this remarkable and affordable scanner comes with a new expansion top, so you can scan books and magazines with no problems. Other scanner covers can become uneven because lifting them at an angle can be awkward, but the N1220U's exclusive Z-Lid expansion top opens vertically, so you can lay items down flat.Housed in a metallic champagne finish, this high-tech scanner delivers outstanding 1,200 x 2,400 dpi scans and uses a single USB cable for power and connection. With the single push of a button, you get 42-bit scanning with color depth and brilliance of more than 4 trillion possible colors. And it is compatible with both Macintosh and PC. The N1220U weighs 3.3 pounds and measures 10.1 by 14.7 by 1.3 inches. It comes with a one-year limited warranty and the Canon Extended Service Plan.

Review: Scanner - Gentlemen, I have not used this equipment because I did not recieve the installation disk. Thanks Daniel Sanchez
Review: Exceeded All Expectations - This is a great little scanner. And I do mean little; I was simply amazed at the small size of the unit. In fact, I have taken it on a couple road trips. In addition to the size, the fact that it only requires the USB cable is a real boon. Power is supplied via the USB port so I only needed one cable for power and signal. Too cool. And this worked perfectly with either the Mac G4 Cube or iceBook that I have. And despite what I had read, I found it to be realtively quiet. Certainly it is a vast improvement over my ancient Microtek unit. Incredibly portable, fairly rugged, great images -- it's just a real gem. The Software is also simple and pretty powerful. I love being able to start a scan by pressing the button on the scanner OR from within the software. That's hardware integration that works! With the included Photoshop LE, I was able to monkey around with some photographs and get just sterling results. The included OCR software is good, but I find that given its limited accuracy I am better off (read that as meaning that it is quicker with less input from me) just doing a quick scan of class notes and keeping them in that format. I knew that my old scanner was well past its prime, but I am pleasantly pleased at how much things have improved. I highly recommend this scanner.

### ⭐⭐⭐ some problems
*by R***M on March 25, 2001*

having nothing but trouble trying to scan black and white or text, skimpy instruction sheet is of no help. have talked to two Canon tech people who act like they never saw a scanner. Basically a nice rig if I could get my problems solved.
