Review on Canon CanoScan Lide 300 Scanner, Compact Design: 1.7 x 14.5 x 9.9 inches by Carlos Phillips

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor image quality on some documents

I scanned a document with holes on the left edge because the document was in an interleaf. Where there are holes, black/grey thick vertical lines appear from the left edge to where the hole actually ends. Below these lines are other lighter noise lines. Also note that it doesn't capture an image for the 1/4 inch closest to the glass on the left and bottom of the glass. I have handwritten notes in the margins, which are cut off for that reason. It's mentioned in the documentation, but I've never noticed it with my other scanner. I scanned the same image with my Fujitsu ScanSnap and the entire image was captured, and no vertical black lines appeared. The rest of the installation went smoothly on Windows. 10.Please also note that the included cable (USB-C to USB3) is proprietary to this device. Therefore, you cannot replace it without buying it from Canon. The documentation says to plug it into a powered USB 3 port for best results. It is therefore not clear whether it can be connected to a USB 2.0 hub, for example. I have a USB 3 powered hub so that's not a problem for me. There is no separate power supply, the power is supplied via a USB 3 cable, although I find the supplied cable to be a bit short. I will be returning this item as it does not meet my needs.
