VueScan Adds Support For Canon ImageFORMULA Scanners
11 May 2016
With version 9.5.47 of VueScan, Hamrick Software has added support for Canon imageFORMULA document scanners. VueScan now supports over 2,900 scanners from 35 manufacturers running on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
"As we have seen an increase in document scanning, we have had many requests from customers for us to add support for this range of scanners, so this is great news for them," said Hamrick Software President Ed Hamrick.
"We have added support for many imageFORMULA scanners that Canon doesn't support, including 57 imageFORMULA scanners on Linux, 44 imageFORMULA scanners on Mac OS X and 24 imageFORMULA scanners on Windows 7, 8 and 10. We are pleased to support all types of Canon scanners, including flatbed scanners, multifunction scanners, document scanners and film scanners, but these new scanners are fast, easy to use and produce high quality document scans. We are delighted to be able to support Canon as they introduce new products."
We recently used VueScan's optical character recognition to recover several pages of a typeset document that had no digital equivalent. The accuracy on very tightly set copy was superb, saving us hours of typing and proofreading.
Hamrick also recently added support in VueScan for the OpticFilm 135, becoming the only third-party scanning option available for that device.
VueScan is available in two editions, a Standard Edition ($49.95) and a Professional Edition ($79.95) which supports film scanning, adds unlimited free upgrades, advanced IT8 color calibration and support for Raw scan files.
A fully functional, trial copy of VueScan can be downloaded from Hamrick Software.
VueScan adds support for imageFORMULA document scanner range from Canon
Hamrick Software, the developer of VueScan, the world's most widely used scanning software, has released its latest version 9.5.47, which includes support for 57 Canon imageFORMULA document scanners.
Ed Hamrick, the President of Hamrick Software, says "Canon has always been a key manufacturer to us and with document scanning becoming more and more popular, it is essential to us that we support as many scanners and printers as possible."
VueScan now supports over 2900 scanners from 35 manufacturers in a combination of three operating systems, Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
"As we have seen an increase in document scanning, we have had many requests from customers for us to add support for this range of scanners, so this is great news for them." says Ed Hamrick. "We have added support for many imageFORMULA scanners that Canon doesn't support, including 57 imageFORMULA scanners on Linux, 44 imageFORMULA scanners on Mac OS X and 24 imageFORMULA scanners on Windows 7, 8 and 10. We are pleased to support all types of Canon scanners, including flatbed scanners, multifunction scanners, document scanners and film scanners, but these new scanners are fast, easy to use and produce high quality document scans. We are delighted to be able to support Canon as they introduce new products."
Tim Brosnihan, European Product Marketing & Planning Manager at Canon Europe, says "VueScan is globally recognized as a simple, user-friendly capture software tool supporting a variety of output formats and also working on various operating systems. We are pleased VueScan has added support for our Canon imageFORMULA document scanners. The VueScan developers share Canon's desire to work collaboratively to create the best possible solutions for our customers and we look forward to continuing to work closely in the future."
VueScan is easy to use for both beginners and professional users. Beginners only need to run VueScan and press the 'Scan' button. Pro users can change to either the 'Standard' or 'Professional' options to unlock powerful features to have complete control over their scans.
VueScan also offers a full range of advanced features; including batch scanning and multi-page PDF output, options for scanning faded slides and prints (and automatically adjusting images to optimum color balance that reduces the need to manually do it in Photoshop.) VueScan also includes built-in IT8 color calibration of scanners, producing colors that look true to life and other advanced and powerful scanning and productivity features.
VueScan is available in two editions, Standard Edition ($49.95) and Professional Edition ($79.95).
