Canon CanoScan N1220U Scanner

Gentlemen, I have not used this equipment because I did not recieve the installation disk. Thanks Daniel Sanchez

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.

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.

Someone's gonna notice the 15-year gap of these reviews with this one. I figure scanners hardly have improved over the years, so I should just get an ancient one as it's cheaper and modern PC peripherals that deal with paper tend to break down or throw errors to nudge them to simply buy a newer, "better" machine. I scanned a color comic as a test and boy did it look like I was just reading off the pages, but on my monitor! But alas! There's no drivers for Windows 8 (my OS) and very likely for Windows 10. I just used VirtualBox to run a Windows XP instance, the fossilized software works perfectly fine, thank you Canon for still hosting old software. My seller had it like-new, with the box, no software disk but that's what the internet is for.

Recieved the package last week, works great, all accessories and CD were included in the package. Definitely recommended for buyers looking for a cheap reliable scanner. Thanks for the service Amazon

This is a great scanner. It comes with good software and scans quickly and beautifully. I was blown away by how small it was, and it's perfect for the limited space I have.

Still in use till this day. Cannon the chief of digital imaging
