...changed. For example, the Canon Scanner absolutely dead simple to install and use. For those who enjoy being spoon fed by computers, the scanner will automatically size the objects for scanning. For example, it is a postcard, then it will just scan the postcard and not the entire surrounding area. However, you can adjust the size if necessary.
