Canon CanoScan 8400F Scanner

• An advanced Hyper CCD III image sensor captures even more optical input, producing scans of exceptional clarity and resolution.
• With resolutions of up to 3200 x 6400dpi, the CanoScan 8400F is ideal for film scanning. Scan output is suitable even for reproduction of lab-quality photos.
• 48-bit scanning depth (colour and greyscale) captures an incredible 281 trillion colours and 16,000 shades of grey.
• Double Illumination System ensures even higher quality scans and faster speed
• Moving Backlight Film Adapter Unit (FAU) helps the scanner to produce film scans that is a class above its competitors

• Film Automatic Retouching and Enhancement (FARE) Level 3 technology, is an optical technology that uses an infrared scan to retouch scanning output.
• Four types of retouching done automatically:
  (i) correction of exposure levels for backlighted subjects;
  (ii) restoration of faded colours;
  (iii) removal of graininess;
  (iv) removal of dust and scratches;
  

• A large Film Adapter Unit (FAU) contains a built-in light source which moves in sync with the optical carriage below, providing higher quality film scanning and high-speed operation.
• Bundled film guides accommodate 35mm film and slides, and 120 roll film.
• Using the film guides, users can scan 12 frames of 35mm film, or 4 frames of 35mm slides in a single pass into individually separate files.
• Improved clip-in/clip-out FAU protective sheet allows fast, single-handed operation.

• A fast hybrid stepping motor accelerates the optical carriage through scan operations; while a silent belt driving mechanism greatly reduces scan noise.
• Faster warm-up time ensures maximum productivity.
• Preview scan time of a mere 2.1 seconds is the fastest in its class.
• USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection ensures fast file transfers between scanner and PC.

• Four EZ buttons provide the following functions: Copy, Scan, E-mail, PDF.
