Canon CanoCraft FS 3.6.6
March, 2002

_______________________________________________________________________
Thank you for purchasing a Canon film scanner.

CanoCraft FS supports the Canon CanoScan 2700F and CanoScan FS2710 
film scanners on the Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000, Windows Me and Windows XP platforms. 

This file contains late-breaking information and hints for operating 
the CanoScan FS2710 that could not be incorporated into its Users 
Guide.

This file can be opened from the CanoCraft FS folder and printed. 
Please read the information in this file before using the equipment.

A Word about TWAIN Standards:
The TWAIN standards are periodically revised and although software 
development companies respond to these revisions, problems may be 
experienced with some applications that are not fully compliant with 
TWAIN standards. Canon is working closely with numerous firms to solve 
these problems to ensure that users do not encounter any problems.

1.   General Notes
-----------------------
Drag and Drop Actions Not Supported:
To open files, start CanoCraft FS, click the [File] menu and select 
[Open].

Performance on Slower CPUs:
The performance of slower CPUs may be effected when saving 
high-resolution color files that have been rotated.

Differences in Gradations between Preview Images and Scanned Images:
Minor discrepancies between gradations in shadows may arise between 
the preview image and the scanned image.

Differences in Color Balance between Preview Images and Scanned Images:
When using the CanoScan 2700F, there may be differences in color 
balance between the preview image and the scanned image when extensive 
adjustments are conducted in the Expert mode.


2.   Notes Regarding File Formats
---------------------------------------
CIELAB and LAB Color Modes Not Supported:
TIF files (*.tif) saved using the CIELAB option (Corel Photo-Paint 6.0)
or the Lab mode (Adobe Photoshop 3.0.5) cannot be opened in 
CanoCraft FS.

CMYK Color Mode Not Supported:
TIF (*.tif) and JPEG (*.jpg) images saved in the CMYK mode 
(Corel Photo-Paint 6.0 and Adobe Photoshop 3.0.5) cannot be opened in 
CanoCraft FS. 


3.   General Notes Regarding TWAIN Standards
-------------------------------------------------------
What to Do if the TWAIN User Interface Is Not Displaying:
Some applications (Wang Imaging, for example) may not display the 
TWAIN user interface. To resolve this, check the manual for the 
application to change the setting that will enable the TWAIN user 
interface to be displayed.

TWAIN User Interface Disappears After the First Scan:
Some applications (for example, Adobe PageMaker 6.0, Microsoft 
Publisher 3.0, Paint Shop Pro 3.52-32 and Corel Photo-Paint 5.0) may 
close the TWAIN user interface after an image is scanned.

Image Selection or Enhancement Cannot Be Performed:
Some applications (Wang Imaging, for example) may disregard image 
selections or enhancements performed with the TWAIN user interface and 
scan the original image without incorporating any changes.


4.   Known Problems with Application Programs
---------------------------------------------------------
Photoshop 4.0 LE:
Only a limited number of commands can be performed on images scanned 
as 36-bit color or 12-bit grayscale images.

Imaging for Windows 95:
Imaging for Windows 95 (also known as Wang Imaging) may hang while 
scanning. Please download the latest version of this application.

Other Applications:
Some applications may not operate if CanoCraft FS 3.6 is used as the 
TWAIN input source for 36-bit color or 12-bit grayscale images. Check 
to ensure that the application handle these images before attempting 
to acquire 36-bit color or 12-bit grayscale images. Do not use the 
36-bit color or 12-bit grayscale modes with applications that do not 
support them.


5.   Notes Regarding Hardware
-------------------------------------
Initialization Procedures with the CanoScan FS2710:
This scanner performs a self-initialization once every two hours when 
it is left on. This is to ensure that it can correctly reproduce 
colors. If the color balance of the scanned image is different from 
that of the preview image, it is possible that the scanner performed 
a self-initialization. Try previewing the image again and rescan.

Differences in Color Balance between 24-bit and 36-bit Color Images 
Output by the CanoScan FS2710:
The 24-bit color image output from this scanner usually does not 
require retouching (images are color corrected without relying on the 
special characteristics of the film). However, 36-bit color images are 
output with the assumption that retouching will be performed (images 
will be enhanced according to their special characteristics to a 
certain degree). Accordingly, the color balance of the same film 
output in 24-bit and 36-bit color will differ somewhat.
