CANON PIXMA MP480 PHOTO ALL-IN-ONE PRINTER
Equipped
with a 1.8-inch TFT color LCD display and easily navigated control
panel, the PIXMA MP480 Photo All-In-One combines elegant design with
easy operation. Canon has included Auto Photo Fix and Auto Scan Mode,
reducing the steps necessary to print a beautiful photo or capture a
great scan. Auto Photo Fix, with Easy-PhotoPrint EX software,
automatically detects the type of photo being printed – portrait or
scenery – and helps to correct red eye, facial tones, brightness,
contrast and color saturation to provide better looking photo output
without manual photo editing. The PIXMA MP480 AIO provides another
convenient feature, Auto Scan Mode, which, detects the type of document
being scanned – Photo, Post Card, Business Card, Magazine, Newspaper,
Document – and automatically crops and saves files to PDF or JPEG
format, based on image type. These automatic software features add one
more level of convenience that is sure to be a hit with the less
tech-savvy consumer.
