1. Introduction

This User’s Guide describes the features and functionality of the CanoScan Toolbox for the
Macintosh,Version 1.0.

About the CanoScan Toolbox

The CanoScan Toolbox application provides easy-to-use scanning and image editing functions you can
use to scan, edit and integrate digital images into a variety of applications (i.e., email, fax, desktop pub­lishing, word processing, etc.). You can also use the CanoScan Toolbox to instantly fax or copy scanned
documents with a click of the mouse. The advanced image enhancement features provided by the
CanoScan Toolbox let you adjust the color balance, contrast and brightness, image sharpness and more, so
you can create high-quality images from your desktop.

In addition to the CanoScan Toolbox application, the Canon PI CS-S plug-in application is also included
on the CanoScan Software Solutions CD-ROM. It provides an interface to the scanner. The Canon PI CS­S plug-in launches when you click the Scan button from the CanoScan Toolbox. After the scan process is
complete, the plug-in closes and you are returned to the CanoScan Toolbox application so you can edit,
fax, copy or integrate the image into other applications.
