Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 Flatbed Scanner
The Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 Flatbed Scanner, high-quality scanning has never been simpler. Four easy buttons automate the entire process, so it's a snap to scan, copy and create e-mail attachments or PDFs, and it is incredibly fast - scanning a letter size color document in as little as 14 seconds. Built-in retouching technology can further enhance your final images, and the Auto Scan Mode detects the type of original being scanned, then scans and saves it with the optimal settings. The Advanced Z-Lid expansion top lifts approximately 1-inch vertically and lets you produce clear, complete scans even of thick originals such as notebooks. One cable provides both power and a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed data connection for low power consumption and the scanner is also a Generation Green product that is Energy Star & RoHS Compliant.
- 4800 x 4800 dpi Resolution
- The incredible 4800 x 4800 dpi resolution of the LiDE 200 Scanner produces images of superb quality, and the included software greatly enhances resolution, up to an amazing 19,200 color dpi
- Rich, Vivid Color
- 48-bit color depth yields over 281 trillion possible colors to reproduce all of the colors in your Photographs with exceptional color accuracy
- Amazing Scan Speed
- The LIDE 200 is incredibly fast so scanning is faster than ever. Scan a letter-size color original document in about 14 seconds, and the fast speed not only saves time, but also saves power
- One Cable for USB and Power
- The USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection lets you scan images fast, and the scanner is also powered through the interface so no AC power cords or adapters are needed
- Z-Lid Expansion Top
- The exclusive Z-Lid expansion top lifts up to 1-inch high above the platen and stays flat for scanning thick books and magazines. Most other scanner covers can only lift at an angle, so the scans can be incomplete or illegible at the edges. In addition, Gutter Shadow Correction eliminates the shadow caused by the book's inside "gutter", providing a clean scan of the page
- Smart Auto Scan Feature
- The Auto Scan feature makes operation of the LIDE 200 incredibly easy by it actually detecting the type of original being scanned - be it a photo, business card, personal notebook or form, then automatically scanning and saving the image using the appropriate settings for the type of original being scanned
- 4 Easy Buttons
- Four easy-access function buttons, easily automate the scanning process, save images to PDF, e-mail items or simply make a copy of that important report. You can even save your images directly to CDs as easily as scan, click and burn

I purchased the CanoScan LiDE 200 Flatbed Scanner to replace a CanoScan 4400f that broke after a long hard life. I use the LiDE 200 to archive family photos and recipes I find in different publications. I love the fact that this scanner only runs on only one USB cable for its power and data transfer, and I cannot believe how much faster and quieter it is in comparison to my old 4400f. Also the CanoScan LiDE 200 is half the thickness in height of my old 4400f; it even comes with a stand so you can use it standing on its side. The only drawback this scanner has it doesn't have is the capability to copy slides like my old scanner did which isn't a feature I don't miss with the CanoScan LiDE 200, "great scanner, reasonably priced and very clean and handsome".

Bought to use at trade shows & thought I could use the email button on the front. Doesn't work w/webmail applications like gmail. Direct scan button doesn't want to save to jump drive. Bypassed buttons & made it work. Would have hoped to save time at busy shows by using the buttons I paid for and can't use. Scans just fine for what I expected. Told Canon they need to get with the digital age.

Comments about Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 Flatbed Scanner:
My purchase of a new computer with a Windows 7, 64bit OS made my old CanoScan LiDE N1240U scanner obsolete due to a lack of a suitable driver. I purchased the CanoScan LiDE 200 scanner because of its similarity to the N1240U, which has been a most reliable scanner for the past five years or so and because of it's low price. It's differentiated from my old scanner by its speed and more advanced software. As with my earlier scanner, I'm attracted to its small footprint and ease of use.
A very satisfied customer here.

Comments about Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 Flatbed Scanner:
The CanoScan LiDE 200 operated as expected. The USB port provided the needed power to run the scanner. Its compact, fast and quiet. The software, however, does not have a preview. It scans the whole page. If i only wanted to scan half page, i'd have to crop it afterward!
Bottom line - a good scanner.

Comments about Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 Flatbed Scanner:
I'm a senior who just learned to add attachments,take digital photos, scan, etc. after buying another printer w/multi-funtions. I wanted something portable for gathering family history and I'm finally scanning and sorting all my family's old photos.I'm slowly catching up with technology ( I'm almost out of the 1980's ) and having alot of fun.I'm learning about all the bells and whistles and the multi-scan for up to ten photos makes the project go faster.As the instructions say, some photos won't multi-scan due to edges, borders, etc, but with a little trail and error, you find out what works.
I'm getting beter with it every time I use it, which is several hours a day, but have yet to find out how to delete a photo from the screen while in the middle of a project. Have tried to find out,but,unable to do that-if it's possible. I'm talking about deleting a photo before you save the whole batch you've worked on.
On the whole. I'm very satisfied with it.Also bought my first laptop ( small at 14" and the scanner is about the same size and the powered USB is a nice touch. Thanks!

I bought this in order to scan old photographs at a high res and in a fast and easy way. i also wanted a product that did not take up a huge amount of desk space. you can actually use the scanner in an upright position if you're really tight for space. so far i've had no issues.

Comments about Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 Flatbed Scanner:
I've been a Canon person for a very long time. I use Canon cameras, printers and scanners. I have not had one Canon product to disappoint me yet. The scanner is a step up from what I was using before. This scanner is producing excellent results. So far, I am very pleased with my purchase of this scanner. I'll probably buy other Canon products when the need arises.

Comments about Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 Flatbed Scanner:
My wife scans family photos as an average user, nothing to fancy. Resolution is great, operation is fast. It makes a small amount of noise, but that isn't a problem for us. Software is pretty basic and you have to drill down to get to settings. Defaults work fine for us. I upgraded from an LIDE 60 which finally gave up the ghost and I am very satisfied with the LIDE 200.

Comments about Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 Flatbed Scanner:
I liked my first Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 so well I ordered a second one. My original plan was to move the scanner between my home and my office. But I decided for less than $80 it was better to have one in each location.
I have scanned photos and documents with entirely satisfactory results. When I wasn't sure how to do something I found Canon's free tech support was excellent--quick connections and clear information from U.S.-based persons.
I selected the LiDE 200 because of its small footprint, no power cable and good user reviews. It works fine on my iMacs.
The only thing lacking is an inability to take legal size paper. There is a stitch method for handing oversize documents, but I didn't use that, I just scanned the bottom and then the top to get the complete text.
A very nice and compact entry-level scanner.

Comments about Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 Flatbed Scanner:
I love my new CanoScan Lide 200. I am using it to scan family photos and photos for an album for coworkers. The process is easy, really a no brainer and I love that the Canon software is easy to use too.
I wish there was more info on editing the photos but for my two projects, the look of the photos is not so important.
This is the second one in my family, my father got one and I liked his so much when I came home from visiting him I ordered mine the same day!
Love it, it's fun and easy!

Comments about Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 Flatbed Scanner:
I scan equal amounts of documents & photos since I use my LIDE 200 for work in my marketing communications company. Scans are clean, reasonably fast & the scanner is so simple to use. I was required to spend time on the Canon USA Phone Help Line because the software was not Windows 7 ready. Canon help is the best! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a low price, high quality scanner.

Comments about Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 Flatbed Scanner:
This scanner is an excellent device, fast, reliable, great scans, flexible output formats with easy installation of software. Integrates extremely well with Adobe PhotoShop Elements 4. Requires no power other than the USB connection. Quiet in operation. I've made hundreds of scans with excellent quality results. Highly recommended. So far I've found nothing to complain about it is just what I needed at a reasonable cost.
