Good and bad - TBD November 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just bought the Canoscan 5600f. Took it home, followed the quick install instructions, and it's all hooked up.
First, let me clear up some inaccuracies:
1. The scanner box has a label on it that says "don't forget to buy a USB cable because it's not included!" But actually a USB cable DID come with mine. In fact, there's a warning to ONLY use this cable or it might not function. Canon, get your act together! I'm glad it came with a cable but the cable is too short to reach my computer, and if it IS true that you can't use a regular USB cable then what am I supposed to do? Canon has no accessories on their website.
2. I read somewhere that this scanner is USB powered, but it is not. There is a power cord (no adapter just a cord which is a plus). USB powered would have been nice but I'm not sure a USB has enough power to do that for a scanner anyyway.
3. There is not supposed to be a warmup required for this scanner, but indeed it does do a short warmup (maybe 5-10 seconds) sometimes before scanning. The scans themselves are nice and fast.
I had to do some tinkering with the settings before I could actually do any scans. There seem to be settings and preferences all over the place, and a lot of screens to mess around in - I was hoping for something simpler. I'm hoping to figure out fast and straightforward ways to make copies, scan documents, and scan photos.
So far I have NOT been able to get the scanner to perform the functions of any of the scanner buttons without having to go click something in the software on the computer. This is a major drag for me as I really wanted to be able to do one-touch copies using the scanner button (printing to my color laser printer). I am still trying to resolve this and will soon give product support a call.
As far as actually scanning the unit seems to do a nice job at first glance - it's fast and clear. I'm only scanning color documents so far, but plan to do some film, slides, and photos when I get the time (I'll probably test one soon). I probably should just have bought a multifunction color laser unit but I couldn't find one of those with great reviews so I ended up going for the color laser printer + scanner combo. Hope I don't regret it.
I will add more to this review as I work out the kinks. Initially I'm giving it a 3 star rating. Quality seems good, it does work, and some of the software features are nice - but see above for the negatives and inaccuraces which are why I subtracted two stars.
I bought this over the 8800f because this one is a new model and looked like it might have some better features, plus it's cheaper. And the 8800f is hard to find already too.

Canon 2925B002 CS5600F Color Image Scanner
Admittedly, I can't compare this scanner to any other standalong scanner (such as the Canon 8800) because I've never used the 8800, but I can compare this with the scanners that are part of fax machines or all-in-one printers. This is far superior in scan quality, convenience and speed. I also like the ability to expand the cover hinge to accommodate books. The OCR works well, too.
Still, I was confused whether to get this one, which seems especially for film, a Canon LiDE 200 scanner, or a scanner with sheet feed to enable me to feed in lots of documents and photos.
I ended up with this one over the one with a sheet feed because I was afraid the scanners with a feed would jam with photos (some of the reviews indicated this). As for the LiDE comparison, I still don't know if I made the right choice. I picked this one because I assume that the higher price would buy higher scan quality, but have no way of knowing if it did. The other reviews I read didn't explain much nor did the Canon web site.
The bottom line, though, is that I'm satisfied. I have a color laser printer (Brother) and regretted not getting the one with a built in scanner or copy capability. Now I have the best of both worlds. I can use the scanner as a color copier with just one button push that sends the scan to the printer directly without my needing to create a file and then print it. I'll bet anything I've gained in quality by not buying an all-in-one, and added convenience because I can put the scanner on my desk while the printer sits on the floor (it's rather bulky).
 Thumbs down October 20, 2008

If you have in mind the scanning of documents into text files that can be edited, forget about Canon. According to their tech support, Canon doesn't include OCR into text files on any of their scanners. I've shipped the CanoScan 5600F back to Amazon for a refund and will look for another manufacturer for the kind of scanner I need. This is a huge disappointment: OCR to text files has been around for 25 years, has improved over time, and it ought to be a standard on any and all scanners. Anyone who's headed towards a digitized office which, after all, is the way we're headed, needs this technology to get out from under mountains of paper. What the bleep are they thinking at Canon?!!! Two thumbs down for Canon's design department.
 The best scanner I've ever had. September 30, 2008
