Excellent product

Marli got this to me in a reasonable amount of time, though the user manual was not included. Fortunately for me, it was available on the Canon website. I have had a chance to make a couple of scans with it and I am pleased with both the ease of use...

Vista Good, Linux Good

This scanner is listed on the Canon Support website as being compatible with Windows Vista, as well as having "complete" support under GNU/Linux with the plustek driver on the SANE project website.

Great deal, works like a dream

Found this at a thrift store for $4, plugged it in, and started producing hi-res, crisp scans. I really can't say more except that the lack of power cord is a plus, and SANE is an excellent piece of software. Haven't had success under Windows yet,...

Need to contact Canon in order to have this scanner useful for Windows XP

Ease of set-up, price, ease of use, great scans for photos & documents

Sub-par photo and OCR software included

Did OK for photos, not ok for negatives or slides

Received this scanner for Xmas. Worked very well for the first two weeks on photos and negatives but so-so on slides but the slides are 40 years old and have darken and lose of color over time. In the last two weeks started getting very grainy scans ...

For the cost it does very well.

Slow to scan and didn't care for the photo editing program that comes with scanner.

Ahead of its time but definitely not Vista-compatible... yet?

The CanoScan FB630U is probably the best scanner you could find, if possible, for its performance like an AK47. I've had my FB630U for well over 7 years now and this thing has not failed me in the long run until now. Why? Because Canon does not support...
