About the CanoScan Toolbox CS

You can also use the CanoScan Toolbox CS to instantly fax or copy scanned documents with a click of the mouse. The advanced image enhancement features provided by the CanoScan Toolbox CS let you adjust the color balance, contrast and brightness, image sharpness and more, so you can create high-quality images.

In addition to the CanoScan ToolboxCS, the Canon Plug-in Module CS plug-in is also included in the CanoScan Setup CD-ROM. It provides an interface to the scanner.
