Speed

Specifications
The Canon CanoScan N650u has a resolution of up to 600 X 1200 dpi. You will find the some other scanners to have better resolution than what it provides but it will be best for you if you have small scanning needs.

CIS is a better technology as it uses a small, sensor-filled, LED bar that is pressed under the object to capture the image. It results in crisp clear image with perfect brightness and shine.
