Review on ✨ Canon LiDE120 Color Image Scanner for Office Use by Jacob Jefferson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product but not for Mac. You need to download drivers and install software manually.

I originally wanted to use it with my Windows 10 PC, but I've heard some people say that the scanner doesn't work well with Windows 10. Then I decided to use it with my iMac. I read a review from someone that said it's just plug and play on a Mac. It's not like this. I plugged it in and it didn't work. The Mac system was checked and it was able to detect the Canon device on the USB port, but it wasn't set up. I manually downloaded the drivers from Canon's website and installed everything. Then I turned the computer off and on again to make sure the device started properly with the computer and drivers. It works great. I scanned up to five different images at the same time. As long as you have a gap between the images, the scanner can tell they are separate images. I will be using the scanner frequently over the next few months or so, scanning photos to have a permanent record in the cloud in the event of a flood or fire. For the same reason, I will also scan important documents using the PDF function. I usually only give this review 4 stars because the software I had to download from Canon isn't as easy as it should be. But I bought it for a quick bulk image scan and it works like a champ so I'm giving it five stars. It serves my purpose very well.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Expensive
