Canon Introduces New Image Scanners

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. - With the digital age in full swing, now is the time to digitally archive those shoeboxes full of old photos and personal files that are bursting at the seams. The new lineup of Canon's flexible, yet attractive scanning solutions fit most budgets and lifestyles. The new CanoScan 8600F (.99), LiDE 600F (.99), CanoScan 4400F (.99) and the LiDE 70 (.99) color image scanners offer the latest in design, ease of use and affordability.

Digitizing photos, slides, negatives, and important documents is easier than ever before with the newest features on Canon scanners. The CanoScan 8600F, LiDE 600F and CanoScan 4400F scan photos at a maximum of 4800 x 9600 dpi optical resolution for clear and sharp images. The CanoScan 8600F and CanoScan 4400F feature a built-in Film Adapter Unit (FAU) to make scanning of 35mm negatives and mounted slides a breeze. The CanoScan 8600F also handles medium format negatives, ideal for the amateur or even professional photographer.

Using the added EZ Buttons, users of the CanoScan 8600F, LiDE 600F and CanoScan 4400F scanners can easily create customized PDF documents with buttons for color or black and white PDF creation. There is also a "custom" button to save individual preferences, and a "finish" button that completes the creation of a multi-page PDF file without touching the computer. Most Windows and Macintosh users will also both be able to enjoy the benefits of USB 2.0 high speed connectivity, Canon's bundled software suite including the CanoScan Toolbox interface and ScanGear 12 software.
