Description: Model ID 7888A003AA / Canon CanoScan LiDE 20 - Flatbed scanner - 216 x 297 mm - 600 dpi x 1200 dpi - Hi-Speed USB / The CanoScan LiDE 20 USB ... more
Canon Canoscan LiDE 20 ... flatbed scanner is one of the world's most compact flatbeds - still, it offers big performance and big savings. Just over an inch high, it packs in all the features you need to scan images, copy documents or e-mail your favorite photos. All with true "one-touch" operation. The LiDE 20 scanner is so intuitive and easy to use, first-time users can get expert results in remarkable color resolution up to 600 x 1200 dpi and up to 48-bit depth with over 281 trillion possible colors. To scan, just place the photo on the platen and push the "scan" button - that's it. "Copy" and "e-mail" functions are just as simple. Set up and operation is made even easier with just one cable for power and USB - no extra AC adapter needed.

Scan multiple photos at once with the push of a button. "Multi-Scan mode" is automatically activated and scans all the pictures in a single pass, preparing a separate image file for each. It will even adjust any slightly misaligned photos. Scanning multi-pages into a PDF file is just as easy. Innovative software even allows you to save your images directly to CDs as easily as scan, click and burn.

The LiDE 20 scanner is small but can tackle the big jobs. The exclusive Z-Lid expansion top lifts 1" high and stays flat for scanning books and magazines. Most other scanner covers lift only at an angle, often resulting in poor scans. Canon integrated QARE 2.0 (Quality Automatic Retouching and Enhancement) technology is designed to help perfect every scan by automatically removing much of the dirt and scratches from images, helping you to look like a pro.

Crowned Review Canon Canoscan LiDE 20: A Lidle bit of scanning to do ? (1712 words)

Rating:

+++Introduction+++ One evening starting up the machines I almost immediately noticed something was amiss. I couldn't quite lay my finger on it until it dawned : the familiar green light blinking on the scanner wasn't there. I checked the current which was there and suspected the power adaptor to be faulty. But no, not even a replacement power adaptor managed to revive the poor thing. And that was the last for my Acer Vuego Prisa 310S SCSI scanner I owned for some six years. It wasn't at all a cheap scanner, at roughly 100 pounds (without the SCSI adaptor card !) it was even quite an expensive purchase that over the years didn't seem to ...  Read the complete review
