Canon Releases New Scanners

September 2, 2010: Canon Australia has added three new models to its CanoScan range of desktop scanners: the CanoScan CS9000F, CanoScan LiDE210, and CanoScan LiDE110 .
Designed for photographers, the top-of-the-range CanoScan CS9000F features a 9,600 x 9,600 dpi CCD sensor that can scan one frame of 35mm negative film at 1,200 dpi resolution in just18 seconds. The film adaptor can accommodate a range of film sizes and is designed to allow more light to penetrate the unit, enabling fast scanning speeds. Additional features include instant warm-up plus the ability to Auto Scan to PC, email, copy or PDF, all at the touch of a button. Seven EZ scan buttons offer simple, one touch operation.

The Auto-Scan button automatically recognises the type of original and then scans and saves the files with suitable settings. In addition, the CS9000F also provides an accurate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) function to convert printed text to editable electronic documents. Canon’s proprietary Film Automatic Retouching and Enhancement (FARE) Level 3 technology provides dust and scratch removal via an infrared light that scans for physical defects on the film surface. The software bundle includes Adobe PhotoShop Elements, ArcSoft PhotoStudio and the advanced SilverFast SE package, which provides photographers with greater control for film scanning. RRP for the CanoScan CSCS9000F is $379.

The CanoScan LiDE210 (RRP $159) and CanoScan LiDE110 (RRP $129) are designed for ultra-fast scanning and feature a new Auto Scan button plus advanced software solutions. The LiDE210 has a maximum resolution of 4800 x 4800 optical dpi and five one touch EZ buttons. It also supports upright scanning. The LiDE110 has a top resolution of 2,400 x 4,800 optical dpi and four one touch EZ buttons. Both models come with a new Z-lid double-hinge design which allows thick documents and books to be scanned without compromising the scanner’s look and feel.
Bundled software for all three new scanners includes MP Navigator EX, which makes operating the scanner and performing complex operations simple. It also includes optical character recognition and stitch assist for scans larger than A4 plus Solution Menu EX, which provides easy access to features using easily recognisable pictorial icons.
