Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Offering rich 48-bit color and a full 8.5-by-11-inch scanning area, the CanoScan N1240U provides all sorts of creative possibilities for the home user or small office. Optical resolution is an impressive 1,200 x 2,400 dpi, which guarantees crisp detail and clear images. Plus, if your graphics needs require it, the N1240U can take your 1,200 x 2,400 dpi original and mathematically enhance it to 9,600 x 9,600 dpi.
Although the CanoScan stands just over 1 inch high, its unique Z-lid extends easily to make room for thicker originals such as books or magazines, while the single-cord USB connection (cable included) keeps desktops free from clutter. The USB connection also powers the scanner, so no bulky AC adapter is required.
Operation is a snap, thanks to dedicated one-touch buttons for scanning, copying, or e-mailing photos. The N1240U is compatible with both Macintosh and PC systems, and it comes with a one-year limited warranty and Canon's convenient Instant Exchange service.
From the Manufacturer
Impressive. Spectacular. Remarkable. There are many ways to describe this truly affordable scanner that delivers outstanding 1,200 x 2,400 dpi resolution scans. It's called the CanoScan N1240U, and when you consider its numerous innovations that make scanning fast and easy, we think you'll agree that this is one amazing machine. Just over 1 inch high, it uses a single USB cable for power and connection to any compatible Mac or PC. What's more, its three external buttons allow you to scan, copy, or e-mail your images in one step. You can even burn all your photos onto CDs with ease.
Now, it's easier than ever to take advantage of this scanner's superb 48-bit scanning with the color depth and brilliance of 281 trillion possible colors. The accompanying stand allows you to stand up the N1240U scanner on your desk and still use it to scan at any time. Canon's advanced Z-Lid Expansion Top will forever change the way you scan bulky items, such as books and magazines. Other scanner covers lift only at an angle and become uneven and awkward when scanning anything that isn't completely flat. The N1240U cover includes a special expansion hinge that lifts vertically and lies flat to create the space needed for bulky items, and to help ensure clear scans.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazing,
By Boris Bangemann "boyse" (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canon CanoScan N1240U Flatbed Scanner (Office Product)
This wonderful piece of technology really makes life easier! You can install it on your PC in a couple of minutes simply by following the instructions. It comes with a photo-editing software that you can use without consulting a manual. The digital pictures are crisp and the colors are nothing but stunning. The software makes it easy to scan photos at a high resolution and save them as files with a lower resolution if you want to email them to friends and relatives, or upload them onto your webpage.If you are an old-fashioned photographer who is not yet fully convinced of the quality of digital photos, but you nevertheless want to use the internet to send photos, this scanner is an excellent choice.

The scanner that made my dreams come true,
This review is from: Canon CanoScan N1240U Flatbed Scanner (Office Product)
The Canon CanoScan N1240U Scanner has been absolutely wonderful for me. Installation was a snap, simply throwing in the CD provided by canon and following the easy on-screen directions. I did need to visit canon's web site to obtain Windows XP Drivers, but that may not be an issue now that Windows XP is more of a mainstream product. The Scanner comes with enough imaging software to handle all of your scanning needs. The buttons built onto the scanner make scanning, copying, and e-mailing pictures too easy! It's like adding a copy machine to your home or office. The scanner is incredibly small, maybe only an INCH thick! It's completely USB connected AND powered, which means that one very small cord is all that is coming out of the scanner. The photo quality is absolutely phenomenal -- Paired with my Canon Printer and photo paper, it's able to reproduce *identical* duplicates or enlargements of most ANYTHING I scan. I recommend this scanner, wholeheartedly, to anyone who's looking to invest in one. The price is WELL WORTH IT. Don't settle for a cheap imitation! :)

Phenomal scanner for the price,

This review is from: Canon CanoScan N1240U Flatbed Scanner (Office Product)
This scanner can't be beat, in terms of features, price, and quality. I'm not a graphic designer, but the quality of the scans is -far- better than what I've seen from my previous scanner (the infamous Umax Astra). It's faster, it's much more compact (I keep mine stored vertically behind my LCD monitor), and the fact that it's USB-powered is a plus, not a minus, in my opinion.What Canon doesn't capitalize on is the -software- that's bundled with this unit, even though the software is its best feature. You have to look closely at the specs for this model and the Canon N670U to see that for the extra $100, you get not only higher resolution, but a full copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements. If you've ever used Photoshop LE, it's hard to imagine how much better Elements is. It can even scan multiple images on the scanning bed; it figures out where the picture boundaries are and creates a separate working copy for each. This is an incredible time-saver. My only gripe with this scanner is that it doesn't come with OS X versions of the software, but that may be less Canon's fault than that of its software vendors (Adobe is particularly sluggish in this regard). I've recommended this scanner to almost everyone that I know. Throw out that Umax and get this!
