MICROFILM SCANNER

History is on your side
Announcing the latest from Canon’s flagship line of
digital Microfilm Scanners—the MS-300. Like its renowned
siblings—the MS-400, MS-500, and MS-800, the Canon
MS-300 optimizes scanning performance. Delivering high
speeds and superior resolution, the MS-300 promises
capabilities beyond expectations, not budgets, and offers
reliability exclusive to the industry leader. Think of Canon’s
MS-300 asthe on-ramp to on-line microfilm. All aboard!
Easy connectionsmean timely
arrivals at any destination
The MS-300 scans as fast as 5.5 seconds per frame, easily
integrating microfilm images with today’s document
management systems. Thanks to standard PC and network
printer connectivity, the MS-300 simplifies image retrieval
and provides digital conversion of film archives, on
demand. Once scanned, images are ready for delivery via
the Internet, E-mail, or fax—ideal for financial institutions
and walk-up use in libraries, or as a component of a high-
end imaging system.
Just how far can you reach
when sitting at a PC?
The MS-300 comes with Canon’s powerful CapturePerfect
software for convenient Scan-to-E-mail capability, PDF
file-saving, text enhancements, image quality adjustments,
and more, right from your desktop. TWAIN and ISIS®drivers
get things up and running quickly. And the user-friendly
Scan Panel provides easy access to a wide range of
automatic features and user-preference settings.
The MS-300 also functions as a Reader-Printer, thanks to
PC-independent application software. Now you can create
digital files for outputting to a network printer or for storage,
electronically. Canon’s MS-300 gives you just what you
want, not more than you need—perfect for upgrading an
analog reader-printer or adding microfilm imaging to an
existing digital information system.

Optional image.SCAN software offers even more user-
friendly control, with step-by-step tutorial videos and
an easy-to-use, touch-screen interface. One-touch image

matic and on-the-fly—get even walk-up patrons up to speed
quickly. Best of all, each workstation can be custom-
configured for individual needs, making your microfilm
collection an invaluable on-line resource.
How to exploit the media
Among its many talents, the MS-300 converts microfilm
to other media, synchronizing film scanning with image
processing and automatic indexing. Better yet, used with
an optional FS Controller, it gives you fast access to large
volumes of information, automatic search and retrieval,
and advanced printing features. Could you be any more
productive?
File-format friendly
Various output resolutions are useful for saving images as
TIFF, BMP, PDF, or JPEG files. Several interchangeable film
carriers provide easy handling of 16/35mm roll film,
ANSI/3M cartridges, fiche jackets, and aperture cards.
With the MS-300, image quality refers to digital output
with high resolution, up to 600 dpi. And four different
scan modes include black and white, error diffusion, text
enhanced, and 8-bit grayscale with 256 levels of gray.
Optional Canon printers
deliver performance
For scan-to-print applications, the MS-300 can be
configured to connect directly to a Canon Fileprint laser
printer without the need of a PC connection. With the
MS-300’s optional Digital Micro Printer (DMP) Board
installed, you can easily connect a choice of two compact
printersemploying Canon’s leading-edge laser printing
technology. Whether your needs call for the versatile, high-
capacity Fileprint 450, or the economical Fileprint 250, you
can be assured of high-quality output. And with 600-dpi
resolution, you can faithfully reproduce a wide range of
microimages, including those hardest to read.
The Canon Fileprint 450 produces 600-dpi output at 10
pages per minute and delivers high-quality laser printouts
from letter- to ledger-sized. Users can also automatically
enlarge 8-1/2" x 11" screen images to fit 11" x 17"-sized
paper for large-format documents. A universal 250-page
paper cassette is standard, and an optional, large-capacity
500-page paper cassette can be added for high-volume
printing or when the application calls for user-selection of
different paper sizes. For optimum efficiency with the
MS-300, there’s Canon’s economical Fileprint 250 laser
printer for letter-sized printing—a real space-saver, its
reliable output will enhance your workflow.
