Scanner Driver Basics
Windows
Macintosh
To use the scanner cartridge, you must install the IS Scan software, which includes the
IS Scan scanner driver and the IS Scan Plus utility program. These two programs provide
many features that allow you to perform simple color adjustments to improve the quality of
the original image or enhance the image for artistic effect.
You can run the IS Scan driver from within a TWAIN-compliant graphics application
program, or you can run the IS Scan Plus utility program directly as a stand-alone
application program. The IS Scan Plus utility program allows you to scan, edit, enhance,
and save the image data.
To use the scanner cartridge, you must install the IS Scan software. You can run the
IS Scan driver from within a TWAIN-compliant graphics application, or you can run it
directly as a stand-alone program.
Note
TWAIN is an industry interface standard that allows software applications
to communicate with digital imaging devices such as scanners.
Applications that support TWAIN provide a standardized method of
acquiring images.

Scanning Area Guidelines
Paper size Scanning area
A6 105.0 × 148.0 mm 3.86 × 5.43 Inches
A5 148.0 × 210.0 mm 5.55 × 7.87 Inches
A4 210.0 × 297.0 mm 8.00 × 11.29 Inches
B5 182.0 × 257.0 mm 6.89 × 9.72 Inches
Letter 8.50 × 11.00 in 8.19 × 10.60 Inches
Legal 8.50 × 14.00 in 8.19 x 13.09 Inches
• The scanning area varies according to conditions such as the scanning resolution and
display resolution.
• If you wish to scan images larger than the size of the scanning holder provided with the
IS-12 Color Image Scanner Cartridge, the SH-101 A4/LTR scanning holder is available
for purchase. Visit the Canon Web site to find out about accessories and supplies
(
www.ccsi.canon.com
).
• The maximum thickness of the image must be within 0.45 mm, including the scanning
holder. The scanning holder is 0.2 mm thick so the image you wish to scan must be less
than 0.25 mm thick.
• To prevent possible damage to the printer or scanner cartridge, do not scan an image
with paper clips or staples.
21Using the Scanner
Loading an Image
1
Slide the paper guide to the left edge of the auto sheet feeder.
2 Place the image in the scanning holder.
• To prevent paper jams, always insert the image you wish to scan into
the scanning holder.
• Do not leave the scanning holder in locations that are exposed to direct
sunlight or that are subject to high temperatures or humidity.
• When you load the scanning holder on the printer, be sure to set the
paper thickness lever to the down (or envelope) position. Scanning with
the lever set incorrectly will adversely affect the print quality.
3 Load the scanning holder in the auto sheet feeder of the printer.

Note
This section describes how to scan an image when you launch IS Scan from within a
TWAIN-compatible application program.
■ Scanning an Image
These basic procedures may vary according to the application program
you are using.
1 Install the IS-12 Color Image Scanner Cartridge in the printer.
Installing the Scanner Cartridge
2 Make sure Canon IS Scan 2 is set as the Acquire Source and then select
the command used for scanning (such as Acquire or TWAIN) from the
menu of the application program. The main IS Scan dialog box displays:

Note
3 Specify the basic settings.
• Click the down-arrow on the right of the Paper Size box and select the
most appropriate paper size for the image you wish to scan.
• Select the most appropriate scanning mode for the image you wish to
scan in the Scanning Mode box.
Changing the Scanning Mode
4 Load the image you wish to scan in the auto sheet feeder of the printer
and click the Prescan button.
It’s a good idea to use prescanning to determine whether or not an image
can be scanned properly or to test the effects of image adjustments. If the
image is slanted or a portion of the image is cut off in the preview area,
click the Clear button. Load the image correctly and click the Prescan
button again.
5 To scan only a portion of the image, you can drag the mouse to specify the
portion. The specified portion is called a Selection Box and only the area in
the Selection Box will be scanned. To specify the Selection Box:
• Point to a corner of the rectangular area of the image that you want to
select.
• Drag the mouse to the opposite corner of the rectangle.
26Using the Scanner With Windows
Using IS Scan
Note
• Release the mouse button. The Selection Box appears on the image.
• To move the Selection Box, place the mouse pointer within the Selection
Box and drag the mouse to the desired position.
• To resize the Selection Box, point to a corner of the Selection Box and
then drag the mouse.
• You can confirm the dimensions of the Selection Box in the Image Size
box.
• The minimum size of the Selection Box is 1" × 1" (25.4 mm × 25.4 mm).
27Using the Scanner With Windows
Using IS Scan
6 Load the image you wish to scan in the auto sheet feeder again.
7 Click the Scan button. Remember, if you specified a Selection Box in
step 5, only that portion of the image is scanned.
8 After scanning is complete, click the Transfer button to transfer the image
data to the TWAIN-compatible graphics application program. Adjust, edit,
or enhance the image in the application program as needed.
28Using the Scanner With Windows
Note
Using IS Scan
• Some TWAIN-compliant graphics application programs do not display
the main IS Scan dialog box but instead display a different screen
characteristic of the application program. If you are using this type of
application program, read the documentation of the application program
carefully and perform prescanning or normal scanning.
• After launching IS Scan from within a TWAIN-compatible application
program, do not close the application program. If you do, the system may
not be able to respond.
• To quit IS Scan, select Exit Driver from the Settings menu.
29Using the Scanner With Windows
Changing the Scanning Mode
You can select a scanning mode according to your scanning purpose. Optimum settings,
such as image type and resolution, are pre-assigned based on the contents of a scanning
job. When you wish to customize the settings for special scanning jobs, click the Custom
button.
■ Selecting a Default Scanning Mode
Select the most appropriate icon in the Scanning Mode box of the main IS Scan dialog box
according to your scanning purpose.
