Canon's CanoScan 9000F Color Image Scanner delivers detailed film scans at a whopping 9600 x9600 dpi which is enough resolution to create clear, detailed printed enlargements up to at least 20 x 30 inches. It comes with the film holders you need to digitize a strip of six 35mm or four 120 format film images or four mounted slides The 9000F will scan your photos and documents at 4800 x 4800 dpi.
With the CanoScan 9000F you don't have to worry if your originals are showing their age. Canon's built-in FARE Level 3 retouching technology will automatically remove most of an image's dust and scratches while restoring color, all at the same time. Using the Auto Document Fix feature, the 9000F analyzes your scanned documents and automatically corrects the data to yield text that is sharp and clear without altering color tone and contrast. The Gutter Shadow Correction feature is particularly useful when scanning pages of a book, removing the dark shadow created between two pages.
The front panel of the scanner houses seven EZ buttons which automate the scanning process. Four buttons activate various modes to create PDF files. With the Auto Scan button, the 9000F automatically recognizes the type of original, crops it to proper size and saves the digital image in the appropriate file format. Another button enables the scanner to send a copy of a file to a printer and there is also one to create an e-mail attachment.
