Frequently Asked Questions - CanoScan D1250U2F CANON

How do I connect the CanoScan D1250U2F to my computer?

Connect the scanner to your computer using the included USB 2.0 cable. Then install the drivers from the CD or download them from the Canon support website.

The scanner is not recognized by Windows. What should I do?

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the scanner and computer. Try a different USB port. If still not recognized, reinstall the driver from the CD or the latest version from Canon's website.

How do I clean the scanner glass?

Turn off the scanner and unplug it. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild glass cleaner. Gently wipe the glass surface. Do not spray liquid directly on the scanner.

What is the maximum resolution of this scanner?

The optical resolution is 1200 x 2400 dpi. The software can interpolate up to 9600 dpi, but optical resolution is the true measure.

Yes, using the bundled ScanGear Toolbox you can scan to PDF, JPEG, TIFF, and other formats. Select PDF as the output format in the software.

The scanner makes a strange noise during startup. Is it normal?

How do I replace the lamp?

The lamp in the CanoScan D1250U2F is not user-replaceable. If it fails, the scanner should be serviced by a qualified technician or replaced.

Does this scanner work with modern operating systems like Windows 10?

Precautions for Scanning at High Resolutions

Please note that file sizes increase almost exponentially as the resolution is raised when scanning in color mode. Scanning at high resolutions may require more time for scanning and image processing. You are recommended to avoid raising the resolution beyond the minimum requirement to scan in color mode.

■ File Size Estimates for Scanning a Letter/A4 Size Original in Color

Letter A4

• 75 dpi 1.58 MB 1.6 MB
• 100 dpi 2.8 MB 2.9 MB
• 150 dpi 6.3 MB 6.5 MB
• 300 dpi 25.2 MB 26.1 MB
• 600 dpi 101 MB 104 MB
• 1200 dpi 404 MB 418 MB

A4 color image

1.6MB 75 dpi

2.9MB 100 dpi 6.5MB 150 dpi

* These numbers are approximate and may differ from actual scan results.

■ Resolution Guidelines

• For uploading to a web site or viewing on a computer monitor, choose 75 dpi
• For scanning print photos and magazine clippings, choose 150 - 300 dpi
• For printing on a inkjet printer, choose a resolution approximately half the printer's rating (180 dpi, 360 dpi, 600 dpi or 720 dpi)

A resolution higher than 600 dpi is effective for scanning relatively small originals that will be blown up to larger sizes for printing.

- The maximum size of files scanned by the bundled PhotoBase program is limited by Windows Me and Windows 98 to 256 MB.

Care and Maintenance

Clean off the dirt and dust that adheres to the exterior, document glass and document cover of the scanner during the course of ordinary operation using the following procedures.

1. Unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet and detach the USB cable from the computer.
2. When cleaning the document cover or document glass, dampen a clean, soft cloth with water and wring the cloth well. Use the well-wrung cloth to gently remove dirt and dust. Then, thoroughly remove any moisture or water vapor with a soft, dry cloth. Be particularly careful to remove any traces of dirt or liquid when wiping the document glass.
3. Moisture left on the document glass or cover may damage photographs and other documents as well as produce poor results.
4. Do not dampen the connectors, ports or other metallic components on the scanner's back panel. Immediately remove any moisture that contacts these components by wiping them with a dry cloth.
5. Do not use an excessively wet cloth or apply a liquid directly to any portion of the scanner. Any moisture that enters the interior, the underside of the document glass or the sensors may degrade image quality and lead to malfunctions.
6. Never use substances containing alcohol, thinners or benzene on the equipment. Use of these substances may deform, discolor or dissolve the casing.
