Colour Flatbed Scanner
The professional image scanner that means business
The power scanner without compromise
The CanoScan 9900F is the professional scanner that rivals the quality of dedicated film scanners, yet delivers greater productivity at lower cost.
HIGHER RESOLUTION INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY Canon introduces the CanoScan 9900F, a CCD desktop scanner with the highest performance to date. It has everything you need to make the highest-quality scans available of documents, images or film while increasing your productivity every step of the way. Whether you're scanning reflective originals or film negatives, with 3200 x 6400 dpi optical resolution and 48 bit colour depth the CanoScan 9900F captures stunning quality images this scanner will extract unparalleled colour gradation; shadow and highlight detail from your original. With this kind of resolution, you can enlarge your images farther than ever before.
ENHANCED FILM ADAPTOR UNIT A long-standing challenge to the industry has been to create a large, light-efficient Film Adaptor Unit. Canon has made the breakthrough by combining curved and flat reflective plates to increase the light condensing rate. Combined with other design improvements the FAU is extremly large without compromising brightness it allows up to 24 individual 35 mm frames to be scanned in a single operation. FULL-FLEDGED FILM SCANNER The CanoScan 9900F Film Adaptor Unit capable of holding up to 24 frames of 35 mm film at a time. It will also manage your 120 rolls 4 x 5 plates with ease.
(Below) This advanced 6 element lens (similar to SLR telephoto lens) features an extra large aperture for excellent light transmission (18% brighter than previous designs) which allows higher quality image capture at the CCD. Aspherical elements ensure minimal aberration at periphery, delivering scans which are pin sharp edge-to-edge.
Canon Super Galileo 2 Lens
CANON LENSES SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE The CanoScan 9900F incorporates the Super Galileo 2 lens actually a telephoto lens array consisting of a group of convex lenses on the document side and concave lenses on the charge-coupled device (CCD) side. Although just a fraction of the size, its precision is similar to 600 mm telephoto lenses used by professional photographers. Canons experience in lens design and optics contributes greatly to the image quality of the 9900F. SUPER FAST PREVIEW A new hybrid motor supporting high speeds and high resolutions allows for super-fast scan previews in about three seconds!

Increase your productivity
A power scanner doesnt have to be timeconsuming to operate. Everything about this machine is designed to make your work easier. It does the work so you dont have to. FARE LEVEL 2 The CanoScan 9900F uses Film Automatic Retouching and Enhancement technology, employing a number of clean-up steps to your film scan before you even start working on it. Traditionally this would require hours of manual retouching in photo-editing software. Infrared light combines with an advanced software process to remove dust and scratches on the surface of your original. Two new advancements add to dust and scratch removal: Reconstruction of Colour, and Grain Equalisation and Management. Reconstruction of Colour restores hues and tints, even if the colours have faded on your original. Finally, Equalisation and Management takes out any grain that is very visible on high resolution scans of high-ASA film. FAST MULTI-PHOTO MODE Place several negatives on the glass plate, scan them and what do you get? With any standard scanner, a picture of all the negatives. With Canons fast Multi-photo mode, you get separate image files which you can adjust, incorporate into documents or e-mails, or save to a CD-ROM separately. The scanner automatically detects film types and creates index images for multiple 35 mm films instantly. This saves you crucial scanning time up to 24 35mm frames can be generated from a single operation. Of course, it works the same way for reflective originals.
CONNECTIVITY The CanoScan 9900F employs USB 2.0 Hi-Speed and IEEE1394 (FireWire) connection for high-speed data transfer once again, designed to save you time. Plus, its compatible with all of the Windows and Macintosh formats commonly in use.
EZ BUT TONS EASY! The CanoScan 9900F is equipped with four EZ Buttons which you can configure to perform the functions you use most. One button can automate the entire scanning process one more feature to boost your productivity.
COMPLETE SOFTWARE SUITE Besides all the software technology packed inside the machine to save time and increase quality, the CanoScan 9900F comes with a complete software package to meet your scanning needs. These include Adobe PhotoShop Elements v2.0, with which you can perform basic corrections and retouching as well as add a wide variety of special effects to personalise your images. It further includes ArcSoft PhotoStudio, PhotoBase for image storage and retrival, OmniPage SE OCR and NewSoft PageManager 6 document management software. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU SCAN The CanoScan 9900F lets you select colour calibration (ICC) profiles for your input (type of original) and target printer, so your print output is true to the scanned original. ICC profiles are the most precise way to achieve exact colour reproduction.

CanoScan 9900F features

3200 x 6400 dpi sensor with 48-bit colour. Film Adaptor Unit (for 35 mm, 120 roll or 4 x 5) capable of holding up to 24 frames of 35 mm film. FARE Level 2 dust and scratch removal featuring Grain Equalisation and Management and Reconstruction of Colour.
Damaged original is scanned normally using visible light - this is how the final image would look without FARE technology*
FARE uses infra-red light to build up an image which strongly identifies imperfections - note the actual image is just visible
Advanced image processing builds up a map of image imperfections, removing other image data
This map is used to correct the normal colour image, resulting in a perfect scan
FARE saves you countless hours of retouching time. Combined with the CanoScan 9900F's ability to scan 24 x 35 mm negatives in a single operation using its unique fast Multi-Photo mode, Canon delivers exceptional quality and productivity for desktop film scanning. *imperfections enhanced
