The CanoScan Can Review ofCanon CanoScan N1240Uby
LegendaryMrDude
Advantages: No Power Supply, Slimline, High Resolution Disadvantages: Slow
...two choices. Both of them Canon scanners, both ultra-thin (barely 1 inch thick!) and capable of being stood on one edge, and both of them taking their power from the USB port. The two models in question were the canoscan 676u and the canoscan 1240u. With a difference of only £20 between them I opted for the one with the higher model number, safe in the knowledge that it must have a better specification if it had a bigger number in it's name! Speaking ... ...to have to install the Canon "Scangear Toolbox" as well, which is not a major problem. The CD was still in the drive so I rooted around until I found what looked like the right setup program and away it went. A typical windows installation wizard, asking me where I wanted it installed and then going off and doing it. A minute later and I was ready to roll. Opening up the Scangear Toolbox presents you with a window containing 8 buttons. The first ...

The CanoScan is a great image scanner. It is light weight and because of its slim design and can be stored almost anywhere. It boasts an advanced 'z-lid' which allows the scanner to scan books by using some very funky yet simple technology to open the top lid higher.
There is also a little cradle for the scanner to sit in which allows you to place the scanner upright, allowing it to be more desirable for those small office spaces or where space ... ...holds the paper when it’s in the upright position with the help of some Velcro tabs.
At the front of the scanner, like most others, it has quick buttons so the image can be scanned and put into a program straight away. The three buttons which are available are 'scan', 'copy' and 'e-mail'
The Scan button sends scanned data to a program.
The Copy button sends scanned data straight to the printer.
The E-Mail button sends scanned data to a new e-mail ...

Advantages: This item is slimline and OCR software is perfect Disadvantages: The scan is upside down (This is probably my fault)
I Have had this scanner not for over a year still works perfectly (even after being dropped a few times) I use this scanner on a regular basis for work and for enhancing some of my old family photographs.
When you put in the item to scanned it is upside down. (This always gets me) the top of the documents or item goes towards the back of the scanner. (This may be because my old scanner worked the opposite way). If this is the case new users won't ... ...CD's, foil or metalic items. Scaning black glossy items it seems to create a musty colour which can easly be corrected by software. The software you get with it is superb the OCR software is great simply put it in the document and it scans it and transfers it to text with automatic spell checking with amazing accuracy.
The scan panel and interface is easly available from all photo and artwork software I have. You have to close the scan panel after ...

Manufacturer's product description
Impressive. Spectacular. Remarkable. There are many ways to describe this truly affordable scanner that delivers outstanding 1200 x 2400 dpi resolution scans. It's called the CanoScan N1240U scanner, and when you consider its numerous innovations that make scanning fast and easy, you will have no doubts to choose this amazing machine. The N1240U scanner is just over one inch high and uses a single USB cable for power and connection to any compatible Mac or PC. What's more, its three external buttons allow you to scan, copy or e-mail your images in just one step. You can even burn complete photos onto CDs with ease. So it's easier than ever to take advantage of this scanner's superb 48-bit scanning with the color depth and brilliance of more than 281-trillion possible colors. Of course, its dramatic metal finish makes this performance scanner look incredible wherever you put it. The accompanying stand allows you to stand up the N1240U scanner on your desk, and still use it to scan at any time. Canon's advanced Z-Lid Expansion Top will forever change the way you scan bulky items, such as books and magazines. Other scanner covers lift only at an angle and become uneven and awkward when scanning anything that isn't completely flat. The N1240U scanner cover includes a special expansion hinge that lifts vertically and lays flat to create the space needed for bulky items, and to help ensure clear scans.
