No training necessary. Just plug it into the power outlet and your PC's parallel port and it's ready to use. A patented image sensor helps produce outstanding results, whether you're scanning graphics or clip art, text to import into your favorite word processing application, or photos for presentations or e-mail delivery. And when used with a photo-quality ink jet printer, count on spectacular photo-realistic results. The CanoScan Parallel Flatbed Scanner comes complete with all the software you need to scan, enhance and produce great-looking images.

Amazon.com Review

Make high quality scans of graphics, photos, line art, or text, and get great imaging and optical character recognition software for an incredibly low price—all with the Canon CanoScan FB620P scanner. It's so small, and so cute; the CanoScan seems barely bigger than the documents it scans.

To setup the CanoScan, we attached the parallel cable to our PC (USB is not supported), plugged in the AC adapter, dropped in the CD-ROM, and followed the setup wizard. (If you restart your computer before running the CanoScan's setup wizard, you can cancel the Windows New Hardware Installation wizard that runs automatically.) When you're following the setup wizard, make sure you indicate that you want to install the 620P, not the 320P whose drivers are also included on the same CD-ROM.

In our tests of the CanoScan, we first conducted preview scans of several documents and images just to get acquainted with the scanner. These preview scans and other low resolution scans (75 dpi) were fast and easy, but high-resolution scans were very slow, on the order of several minutes. Still, the images were sharp and clear, and the final scans were comparable to those of much more expensive scanners.

If you're looking for an inexpensive, light-duty scanner that's easy to setup and learn, the CanoScan makes a fine choice. --Mike Brown

1 out of 5 stars Great until Windows XP.......2004-10-12

This is a great beginner scanner on Windows 98 or older..does not work with XP...found out the hard way. Great for scanning & cropping photos for email.

1 out of 5 stars I have a FB620P and it was a good unit...but wait........2004-03-06

Do not even think of buying this scanner if you are running XP or Win2k. It will not work on either operating system. There are no drivers available from Canon to upgrade from Win98 to 2K or XP.
I wont buy another Canon product because of this.

1 out of 5 stars Great, if your favorite color is red.......2000-01-17

OK for black & white scans, but color scans are RED all over. Even the underside of the scanner cover, which is white, scans as red. Canon doesn't have a toll-free number for tech support and doesn't respond to emails. So don't buy this one unless you really like red.

4 out of 5 stars Great beginner scanner.......2000-01-05

Was somewhat more difficult to set up than I anticipated. I had a few problems configuring it with Windows 98. Once setup was complete, scanner is easy to use and a great space saver. High res scans are slow, but all scans are clear and colorful. I did not receive a rebate coupon with scanner and wasn't able to find it on the website to print out. Requested copy of coupon by fax and still waiting to hear. This is a great scanner for beginners and light users, I highly recommend it!

1 out of 5 stars Good Hardware, Lousy Software.......2000-01-02

I purchased this scanner for its small size and its reportedly acceptable scan quality. After installation, I could not scan into the included Adobe PhotoDeluxe 2.0 on my Windows 98 system, although I could scan into other applications and import the photo into PD2 if necessary. I later installed PD3.0, with disastrous results--scans into all of my image editing programs are now grossly discolored. Now entering round 2 of time consuming, annoying communications with Canon tech support. If you do not have many hours to spend on such nonsense, I do NOT recommend this scanner.

        4 out of 5 stars phone review.......2007-12-21

        I am pleased with this phone, though I have yet to explore any of it's features. It seems well made, but I haven't had it long enough to be able to have a sense of it's long-term value. I was a bit peeved that I had to purchase an ultra-short cord from Radio Shack in order to use the phone as a wall phone. But that's a minor issue.

        1 out of 5 stars Broke after 2 weeks.............2007-07-24

        Phone worked great for the first 2 weeks i had it then all of a sudden one day I went to work and tried to call home. The line was busy for hours. When I got home I realized that this phone did something strange and even though it was plugged in and on the hook, it was still causing my line to be busy. I unplugged it and put it back and it tried that a few times, even put it in another jack. I even changed the batteries. I Have no idea what was wrong with it but it won't work. Like someone else wrote, there is no light on the LCD screen and the handset is too small. I'm very disappointed in the phone. I dont know if i'll ever figure out what is wrong with it. Don't buy it........

        4 out of 5 stars Corded Phones.......2007-04-17

        GE 29385GE1 Corded Phone with Speakerphone and Call Waiting Caller ID

        Phone works very well. We live in a very open and windy area and no-corded phones sparkle and crackle a lot. Volume controls could go a little higher but still a good caller-id speaker phone. I've spent more on other phones that didn't work near as well with my hearing aids.

        1 out of 5 stars No Backlit display on this model.......2007-03-20

        Despite what the description says, the display on this model is not backlit. At least not the one I received. Even the GE product spec sheet from their own web site says backlit, but it is not. No one else commented on this, so not sure if I have a defective item or not, but I specifically bought it for the backlit display, so it's going back. I see that another GE model, 29369GE1, is backlit according to some reviewers, so I'm going to give that one a try. Rated a one for bum product info.

        4 out of 5 stars Good functionally but less good ergonomically.......2007-02-10

        The phone functions very well, but the handset is too rounded and tapered, and worst of all is made of plastic which is far too smooth, so gripping the handset is somewhat bothersome. Also, adding a shoulder rest is absolutely necessary in order to rest it on your shoulder instead of holding it in your hand.
