Puts other 'portable' scanners to shame [Posted on 2001-11-02]
I've seen several other companies try to produce portable printers or scanners and they have all fallen short of the Canon BJC-55/85. One main reason is this little device that allows you to carry both at once! The software is extremely easy to use. In part because there are no settings to change; you can only ever scan at 300 dpi (most flatbeds have much higher resolution, thus my rating of 4 stars).

However, the image is crisp, color is good, and the unit snaps in very easily. I only wish they included a hard case like the one for the ink cartridge which came with the printer instead of a flimsy plastic "storage" bag. It is so tiny, this is probably the only scanner you'll ever worry about losing :)

Great add on to BJC-85 [Posted on 2002-03-29]
Setup was painless,i was scanning 5 minutes after i opened the box.A "must have" for any BJC-85 owner.

Legal size document scanning, while out and about [Posted on 2007-05-19]
I use the Canon BJC-85 printer for printing and scanning letter and legal size documents while out with clients. The IS12 makes my life easy with great looking scans, without lugging around additional equipment.

The biggest complaint I have is that the software isn't Mac OS X compatible, so I end up having to use Virtual PC just to run the scanning software. Not to mention that the scanning software doesn't output to PDF.

Beyond those issues, the IS12 is a nice device which works very well and allows me to scan legal size documents, which my flat bed scanner at home will not. Highly recommended!

Portable Canon Scanner Cartridge [Posted on 2007-09-02]
This item has been the most durable piece to the little portable printer. Without it, one could not copy, scan, or save such scanned items to the hard drive for re-use. It has never failed, and it has been in use frequently since December 2001.

Fantastic addition for any road warrior [Posted on 2008-03-04]
I run my own insurance business and was always inundated by a sea of paperwork. This little scanner fits into my BJC-85 printer and serves double duty - I can scan and then print with the same machine. Genius! I would have liked the ability to scan documents into a pdf format, but you can't have everything. This little scanner is the main reason I will not upgrade my BJC-85, as it is not compatible with later models.
