ScanGear Toolbox Features
ScanGear Toolbox is an application program that makes Canon scanners even more
convenient and easy to use. It simplifies tasks such as copying and emailing images.
With ScanGear Toolbox, you can scan without having to adjust the driver settings each time.
The copy function, for example, allows you to scan and send an image directly to a printer in a
few simple steps. There is also the Easy Scan function, which is convenient for scanning
repeatedly using the same settings.
ScanGear Toolbox comes with four preset function buttons-copy, fax, mail and save-and three
programmable scan buttons that can be linked to other application programs, such as image
editing software.
This program can handle films (depending upon the scanner model and options) in addition to
photos and documents.
ScanGear Toolbox can be started with the scanner’s Start Button or the Film Scan Button on
the top of an optional Film Adapter Unit (depending upon the scanner model and options).
