And when you consider the CanoScan N1220U USB Flatbed Scanner's numerous innovations that make scanning fast and easy, you'll have to agree - this is one amazing machine.??The slim N1220U scanner uses a single USB cable for power and connection to any compatible Mac or PC. With the simple push of its external scan button, you get superb scanning with the color depth and brilliance of more than four trillion possible colors. And its high-tech, metallic champagne finish makes this performance scanner look incredible wherever you put it. Canon's exclusive Z-Lid Expansion Top will change the way you scan bulky items, such as books and magazines. Many other scanner covers lift only at an angle and become uneven and awkward when scanning anything that isn't completely flat. Less	This is simple, high-performance scanning at its best. Four easy buttons automate the entire process, and the new Auto Scan mode makes it even easier: It actually detects the type of original... More This is simple, high-performance scanning at its best. Four easy buttons automate the entire process, and the new Auto Scan mode makes it even easier: It actually detects the type of original you're scanning—a photo, business card, notebook or form—automatically adjusts settings for the optimal results, then scans and saves the image.
