ProduktrezensionenCanon CanoScan LiDE 400 schwarz Flachbettscanner 2996C010 NEU - KOSTENLOSER VERSAND

Great value, easy to use and

I used it to digitise about 120 photographs (not negatives - it won't do negatives) taken 18-20 years ago of our 2nd home during renovation / redecoration etc. I used my MacBook Air and downloaded the Mac iOS software from the Canon website. The instruction manual is minimalist, to say the least, but I could follow it easily for basic set-up. There is a much fuller manual available online.

From taking it out of the box, to first photo scanned took no more than 25 mins, if that.

The photos had been taken with 33mm compact zoom film cameras c.2000 - 2002 so I was not expecting perfection. The scanner has produced very good quality editable jpegs of decent (but not great) quality photos. It was VERY easy to set up and is light and easy to use. I took 600 dpi resolution jpegs and each one took about 10 sec. Haven't even looked to see how the resolution could be increased (in which case, the time taken would naturally increase).

For the £70 I paid, really excellent value. Haven't scanned documents yet, but no doubt they'd be similarly easy / good quality. Great buy!Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Lighter, faster, more features

Purchased as a replacement for an ailing ancient PackardBell badged BearPaw scanner.
Amazed at how quickly this scans - even at full resolution (600dpi). Seems a lot lighter and much less sturdy than my old one so I suspect this will not still be working in 15-years.
The supplied software seems to have a lot of useful features (OCR, "stitch" together multiple scans, scan multiple items at once, etc) but I have not tried them as yet.
One niggle, why do scanners NEVER scan the full A4 - why is there ALWAYS a dead space at the the edges?Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Quick Scanner

Bought this for scanning old motorcycle magazines. Absolutely perfect for this taking 8 seconds per page (set for document), comes with a Pdf editor so easy to sort each file at the end of a run. With editing & a quick check it is possible to scan 4 mags of 50 pages in 1 hour.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Nice scanner unless you run OSX 10.10. You’ll need to buy extra software.

Wanted to digitise years worth of magazines I have been hoarding so looked at some robust scanners which might withstand a heavy workload. However many models offer sophisticated operations which I don’t need so figured that the LiDE 400 was worth a punt since it’s priced so favourably.
Out of the box it’s pretty light and slim and doesn’t look like it will withstand any mishandling but once it’s on a desk I suppose there is little that can damage it. One big plus for this scanner is that it is USB powered, no mains leads and transformers etc. However, if you intend to run it on a Mac with OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) be warned... it won’t.
I spent a good few hours attempting to find drivers and work rounds to get this thing working without any luck. My solution was to purchase Vuescan for £60 which is a brilliant piece of software. I was immediately able to get the scanner up and running with super results.
I’m very pleased with the set up and am churning my way through my library, but the initial low cost of the scanner is wiped out by the additional extra cost of Vuescan. With all Canon’s expertise and market share in the industry, if find the absence of a Mac driver for this machine to be pitiful.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

A scanner that doesn't live in vain

Worked straight out of the box with no fuss. It comes with a USB-A to USB-C cord, but I was able to connect it to my laptop with a USB-C to USB-C cable and save the adapter. The detachable stand meant it took up very little room on my desk, and the angle is such that paper doesn't slip off the platten before you can close the lid. I only intended to test it once I set it up, but wound up spending the next six hours reducing two bales of old paperwork to PDFs, which was made easier with the PDF start and stop buttons not featured on the LiDE 300. If you're not planning to do document scanning regularly, and desk space isn't an issue, you could save a few quid and buy the 300 model, but for my part I'm glad I spent the extra to have a s scanner that'll handle both photos and low level PDF creation.

Better than early model, way to setup

We want to scan old photos, this replaced our older 100lde scanner. Very similar model but better resolution. Not quite as good as I would have liked, but it is amazing value and very easy to setup. Built in OCR software does a good job at a basic level. Can recognise text accurately, but not formatting. So not good for spreadsheets etc.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Lide 400 (2018 model) is a huge improvement over the Lide 700 (2009 model)

Great resolution and great improvement over the Canon Lide 700. On the Lide 700 which came out in 2009 I believe, the documents had to clearly and cleanly (that is to remain flat) on the scanner for the image to come out 100%,

This is not the case with the Lide 400 which came out in 2018. Images or documents or books can be 1-2 mm off of the glass and the image is still perfect.

Enjoy the scanner.

Excellent product that works well once you.ve got it working.

Installing the software from the supplied CD doesn't work - it will hang and never finish installing. Downloading the software from Canon's website and installing that works better.

But once you're up and running, this is a very capable scanner. It seems better at scanning paper documents than photographs but that is fairly normal for scanners, since the glossy photograph reflects a lot of light back. Using good software such as GIMP or Photoshop can undo that to a certain extent.Vollständige Rezension lesen...
