I. FEATURES
CanoScan FB330P (hereafter FB330P) with 300 x 600 dpi resolution, CanoScan FB630P
(hereafter FB630P) and CanoScan FB630U/FB636U (hereafter FB630U/FB636U) with 600 x
1200 dpi resolution are flatbed image scanners incorporating the following features.
1. High gradation and high image quality are achieved by employing a highly sensitive contact
image sensor with LIDE (LED Indirect Exposure) technology for the reading unit, and by
reading each RGB color by 12 bit and outputting by 8 bit.
2. The scanner is a small size of 256.0(W) x 372.5(D) x 39.0(H) mm, and a light weight of 1.5
kg by using a downsized scanning unit.
3. The scanner can easily be connected to the host computer through a parallel interface
(FB330P/FB630P) or a USB interface (FB630U/FB636U).
4. The scanner can be placed vertically to scan by using an optional stand.
5. CanoScan FB630U/FB636U draws its power from USB port on the host computer requiring

IV. INSTALLATION
A. Preface
The following installation conditions are required.
1. Ambient temperature should be between 5½C and 35½C, and humidity between 10% and
90%. Avoid locations near water faucets, boilers, humidifiers, or refrigerators.
2. Avoid locations subject to open flame, dust, or direct sunlight. If it is installed near a
window, hang a curtain to block direct sunlight.
3. The room should be well ventilated.
4. Install on a sturdy and level desk, etc.
5. Moving a scanner from a cold place to a warm place can cause condensation on the metal
parts, resulting in a faulty operation. Give the scanner at least one hour to adjust to the
room temperature before unpacking.

C. Connecting to the Host Computer
FB330P/FB630P is connected to the parallel port, FB630U/FB636U is connected to the
USB port on the host computer. This section explains how to connect the scanner to the host
computer using a parallel cable or a USB cable supplied with the scanner. Refer to "Getting
Started" for details. For connecting/disconnecting the host computer's cables, refer to the
manual supplied with the host computer.
1. Connecting to the host computer (FB330P/FB630P)
1) Turn the host computer OFF. Disconnect the printer cable if it is connected to the parallel
port on the host computer.
2) Connect the parallel cable supplied with the scanner to the parallel port on the host
computer.
3) Connect the other end of the parallel cable to the PC port on the scanner.

5) Connect the AC adapter to the power terminal on the scanner.
Note: Printer precautions
* WPS (Windows Printing System) printer cannot be used in a daisy-chain configuration.
* When a printer is daisy-chained to the scanner, turn the scanner ON to use the printer.
Figure 2-2 shows the outline of electrical system of CanoScan FB330P/FB630P.
Major electrical control of the scanner is performed by the main PCB.
Image signals read by the contact image sensor are converted into digital data by the analog
IC. The converted image data are image-processed by the gate array and output to the host
computer via PC port.
