No Warm-Up / Low Energy Usage
Thanks to the high luminance white LED light source, the unit is ready to scan whenever you are, with zero warm-up time. Plus, the advanced LED light source quickly switches to standby mode after scanning, saving energy.
High-Quality Imaging
The CCD scanning element produces high-quality 4800-dpi scans, and is the same CCD technology found in digital cameras.
Push-Button Simplicity
Seven EZ Buttons let you do what you want with your original. So, scan it in color or B&W. Scan and save it, or copy it (sending a scanned image to your printer). Create a PDF of a multi-page original, customize your own settings, or for the ultimate in simplicity, just press the "Scan" button and let the CS5600F take care of everything. Whichever button you press, the process is simple.
Smart Scanning
The new Auto Scan feature makes scanning anything even easier than before. It actually detects the type of original you’re scanning — whether it’s a photo, business card, personal notebook or form — then automatically scans, processes and saves the image in the appropriate format. All at the press of just one button.

Needs Adobe Twain Plugin to work with Adobe Photoshop CS4
This scanner is very good but beware Photoshop CS4 users, if you want to scan directly from Photoshop CS4 you will need to install adobe's Twain plugin - this driver works with any Twain based scanner.
Open your CS4 DVD and go to
"Goodies" / "Plug-Ins" / "Import-Export"
The TWAIN.plugin is in the Import-Export folder. Put that into Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plug-ins/Import-Export and you are golden. Restart Photoshop if its already open.
For those of you that can't find your CS4 DVD you can download it from adobe support section as well. [...]
Other than this software issue the scanner is fast, quite and scan beautifully.
Converting slides with Canoscan 5600
Just bought this scanner to convert many boxes of old slides from the 1960's and 1970's. Slides are converting easily and look great. Software included separates pcitures and slides into individual images. I only wish it would scan more than 4 at a time. This process will take some time.
Performed as advertised - Good Product
I have only used the scanner to scan 35 mm slides (so far about 150), but it's done a great job. The quality of the generated images is very good and the process doesn't take too long. I can scan and save about 50 slides (give or take a few) in an hour. The software was easy to load and the scanner operation is straightforward. I would definitely recommend it for home use.
Better Than Expected
I was nervous buying this to scan 750 plus slides. There is a cover on the inside lid, which has to be removed in order to scan slides. The instructions mention nothing about this, and I had to call customer service. The scan quality at 4800 dpi is very good, and it seemed to be very accurate in colour and tone. Most of the slide scanning services only will scan up to about 600 dpi, and I would like to have the option for a high resolution print, so I scanned each slide at the highest setting. This took several weeks. However, after 30 scans or so, it would fill up the memory and I would have to quit the application and restart it losing the recent scans and having to rescan. So, I would scan about 28 and then save them, quit the app, restart it and do 28 more. However, about 28 is all I could do per day, because the repetition and waiting drove me nuts. I would find other things to do for 20 minutes and return to scan more, often losing track of time and what I was doing. But it saved me a lot of money over professional scanning services at 50 cents to a dollar per slide.
The photo scanning is okay, but with either method, a lot of retouching was needed as there was a shine to the photo, and a lot of flaws with the slides. I'm not sure what was dust on the glass bed and what wasn't. iphoto will take the flaws out, and I won't want to print each photo anyway, but will touch up on an individual basis. I haven't tried the negative scanning option yet, and I'm not sure what to expect. Overall, it worked fine, and I achieved what I wanted.
Excellent with the new IMAC. Converted all old pics to digital
I love this scanner. I used it with the new IMAC and used the scanner software then brought the pics into iphoto. I had over a thousand pics that I converted to digital and didnt have a single problem. The nice this is you can place 4 4x6 pics on the screen and scan once but iphoto placed them in pics individually. So this project only took a 1/4th of the time. It did the job well. would buy again and highly recommend.
