Review on Black Canon CanoScan LiDE400 Document Scanner for Improved SEO by Aashit Singh ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

New model, no reviews at all, had to play the lottery. The other new 300 model was completely negative, so it was a little scary to take it (later it turned out that many online stores overestimated the characteristics of this 300 model in relation to the real specification, which is why customers are disappointed). At first glance, it's still the same good old Canon LiDE 220 (previous senior home-office model) with a redesigned and slightly increased scanning speed. Also on the rear panel, the connector has become USB type C and connects to a standard USB 3.0 port through the attached cord. Marketing or is there any benefit from it is not yet clear. We read the instructions, unpack, remove the lock switch, hook the cord to the rear connector of the PC (I put it in USB 3.0 / USB 2.0 did not check), we look, Windows 10 x64 does not detect the device and does not find the driver on the network. We go to the Canon website, enter our model into the search - it offers a choice of two driver options, compact and full (maybe they are on the disk included). I downloaded a compact one, because I use third-party scanning programs (such as FastStone Image Viewer). During the installation process, it asks to connect the scanner, because. it was already connected - we distort the cord. There are two devices to choose from in the scan menu: Canon Lide 400 and WIA-Canon Lide 400. When you select the first one, scanning occurs through its own subroutine, when you select the second, through a Windows subroutine. The first option is clearer and more contrasting, and seems to make the LEDs glow more strongly, which can cause light to appear on glossy surfaces, I think you can tweak it, there are a lot of settings. The second option gives a dimmer standard image. Verdict - you can take it, let's see how long it will live. Because The scanner is powered from the USB bus, so the quality of the cord and power circuits matters. Complete or thick reinforced cord, USB 3.0 or 2.0 with improved power supply.

Pros
  • The fastest scanning speed in the LiDE line at a relatively high resolution. "LiDE" image enhancement technology (tri-color LEDs).
Cons
  • If you open the lid all the way until it locks, then it closes in the "Z" mode (which is needed for books and other thick documents) and you need to make an extra movement to close as usual.

I bought this scanner for use at home, mainly for scanning and sending documents. So far, the scanner has done an excellent job with this task.
