Advantages: Straightforward. Easy to use. Simple but effecient. USB1 and USB2 compatible

Disadvantages: Does not work quicker on USB2 but it is not slow anyway

My previous scanner (Agfa SnapScan) would not operate on my new Windows XP Pro system. I needed a replacement that was inexpensive, simple to use and efficient.
Having read an endorsement in a computer magazine, and later by some users, I decided to purchase this model.
It installed simply without a hitch. The on-line guide is comprehensive, yet easy to follow, and becomes an excellent learn-as-you-go tool.
An excellent OCR software package is included (OmniPage SE), together with Scangear, to further enhance the scanning facility.
I was surprised at the quality and ease of photo scans.
It will function on either USB1 or 2 although it does not work any quicker on USB 2. This is not a great problem as scans are quite fast anyway.
The Canon site describes it well.
Have been using for 3 months and it is a pleasure to work with.
Ideal as a first scanner yet more that adequate for the more advanced user.
Just leave it attached to your PC and it is ready for use at the click of your mouse

Summary: Learn-as-you go and expect excellent results from this neat looking scanner.
