purchased this on a whim but I must say it has been the best decision when it comes to scanners. It scans really clear and high quality. I purchased one for myself in europe and one for my parents in canada, we both love using it. The IJ software that comes with it is super easy and the best part is if you have multiple photos and press Auto Scan, it automatically saves them as separate jpg files without needing to crop them yourself.

I just bought the Canon 400 Lide scanner today and downloaded the driver and software package for Windows 10 from the Canon web site. I suggest you do this instead of using the disc that comes with the scanner. It was easy to install and set up and the scanner is working perfect

I purchased the product online. The scanner is lightweight you can also set up the stand to safe space. However, it did not connect to windows 10. I tried to call Canon Tech support. They remotely handle all the installed, but it did not connect. I tried using different laptops it didn't even work. End up returning it.

Do not purchase if you have Windows 10. The scanner is not compatible with Windows 10. Tried all the troubleshooting ideas supplied by Canon and searching online for solutions but nothing worked. Turns out this is a common problem as evidenced by the number of posts online by other purchasers. This scanner is being returned.

My computer is running Windows 8.1. I installed the software then plugged in the scanner's USB cable (no power cord needed). It did not come with a physical user's manual booklet, but made a desktop shortcut to the online user's manual. You open the program IJ Scan Utility installed with the software where you can choose resolution, photo or document settings, what type of file to save it as, etc. I'm not sure if you can scan only a boxed section of a photo or not (I have not read the full manual), but Windows edit can cut out a boxed section from the full scan anyway.

This image scanner does everything you could want other than to take the photos from your deck and self load them in. Sure, you need to place the photos onto the glass and click the scan button, but the Canon software takes care of adjusting rotation and auto-cropping so that even someone barely familiar with a computer can load and scan images. The resolution selection is as wide a range as you could want and still have some storage left on your computer, and the software you can download from the Canon website is as user-friendly as you could hope for, Highly recommended.

I like this one because it is powered thru USB-C , no power brick needed or outlet. It is very compact for a full page flat scanner. what I don't like, support on Linux is not good at all. it does scan, but with terrible compression artifacts, unusable but for simple documents (not photos or graphical subjects). Officially Linux is supported, so that's too bad. However, on Mac it works flawlessly and with super high quality. I now use it on Mac, no regrets, great value. it is also rather fast.

For the price this is a great scanner. The resolution, even in color mode, is exceptional. As well this scanner is designed to scan other than single sheets. The lid is designed to scan books and other documents much thicker than a single sheet. In addition the power is derived from the USB cable so portability is great. The software requires some playing around with. Not at all obvious where scanned files are placed on your computer as an example.

Love it. I just got it to scan old family photos and found the software really easy to use.

I had no issues with Windows 10. Great little machine. Easy to work with. Love feature that scan for picture on one page and makes for seperate files
