Canon CanoScan LiDE 200

The Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 has a fast USB port so it scans high-density images quickly. At 4,800 x 4,800dpi, it has better image resolution than the Xerox 7600. However, the majority of competitors in the entry-level scanner market support 4,800 x...

One year of toll-free telephone includes telephone device for the deaf

Product does not support transparencies or Optical Character Recognition

ENERGY STAR qualification does not atone for the shortcomings of this flatbed scanner.

Not impressive. Look elsewhere.

I have used scanners since 1991. I have used cheap (as cheap as they get) scanners and I have used extremely expensive scanners. This scanner is not impressive, in fact it is one of the worst scanners I have ever used. I have owned much cheaper...

Very small, light and very easy to install. Software is OK and not complicated to use. Decent but dated styling ; Target user: older people with bad eyesight and fat wallets

Noticeable vertical banding throughout the scanned images about 3 pixels wide ; Canon boasts 48bit color depth, but this is either a blatant lie or a well hidden feature ; Mechanical sound is a little harsh ; Not the fastest scanner out there

Easy to use and will work with XP 64 bit with some downloading from the Canon ; site. Load drivers first,then hook up scanner with one usb cable and you are done

Windows XP Pro 64 Bit users will have to download drivers and associated software from the Canon support site. This scanner will not scan film negs. and will ; only scan one page at a time.No accessories are available as of today

Canon LiDE200 Color Scanner

The scanner arrived on time and was as advertised. It was easy to install and use. The scanner is very compact and light. I can see where it would be of interest to those with a laptop. We have an iMac with the latest version of Mt. Lion (OS X). Just...

Poor Construction, Low Durability

I previously owned a Canon LIDE 80 Scanner. When I upgraded to Windows 7 64bit, the scanner was not compatible with the Operating System. As a result, I had to replace the scanner. I purchased the LIDE 200 scanner and right away noticed the flimsy...

Excellent scanner

I love this scanner. It's incredibly easy to use and the images are great quality. It's also very light, but large enough to scan big photos/paper. Very happy with it!

Product Specifications

How easy is this? Just select what you want to do with your original-scan, copy, or create email attachments or PDFs-and the entire process is automated. The new Auto Scan Mode detects your type of original, then scans and saves it with the optimal settings. Your results will be outstanding, with color dpi resolution up to 4800 x 4800, and you can also create fabulous 19200 x 19200 software-enhanced interpolated scans. Plus, a letter-sized color scan takes only about 14 seconds. The Advanced Z-Lid lets you produce clear, complete scans of thick originals such as notebooks. And to reduce "cable clutter," one simple cable provides power and a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection.
