Canoscan Lide 400 Driver

The CanoScan Lide 400 scanner is a great value (money-wise) as well as delivering a quality and clear result every single time. This scanner has the ability to option multiple pages; gives clear and concise prompts on how to do so. There are no codes to input or complicated instructions; simply load the scans facing down with the top of the scan toward the front of the scanner instead of the back of the scanner. Easy-peasy. Thanks for the easiest scanner I have ever encountered.

Affordable scanners are hard to find these days. Canoscan Lide 400 is one of a very few options from major brands. I previously used an older Canoscan model and liked it a lot, but it’s no longer supported by the new MacOS. I wanted another Canon. The Lide 400 has performed flawlessly for me. It has all the functions that I need: scanning to multiple file formats at multiple resolutions. On the Mac you don’t even need to download the Canon driver or utility software. MacOS recognizes this scanner when you add a scanner. Then you can use the native MacOS Image Capture utility to do basic scanning. The scanner has a USB C port. The included cable is USB C to USB A. It works just fine. But I use my own USB C to C cable and the file transfer to my Mac is faster. All in all, I am very happy with the purchase and the experience with B&H as usual.

I purchased the scanner in early February, 2021. My wife and I use the LIDE 400 to scan photos and make copies of financial documents. Installation was quick and easy. Operation is straightforward. The software user-interface is intuitive, and -- for many applications -- it is possible to simply use the buttons on the front of the scanner. Given its low price, I was skeptical that the performance of the LIDE 400 would be satisfactory, but decided to take a chance. Glad I did.

I owned an earlier version of this scanner and this one (LiDE 400) works just as well or better. I can easily make PDFs out of book pages, which was my primary reason for buying the scanner. Image quality is fine for my purposes. It also does OCR on scanned images. Excellent product and very easy to use (once you've downloaded the software).

I'm an artist and this is my first scanner. I was originally going to get the LiDE 400, which I believe has double the optical resolution of the 300, but I was tempted by the lower price of this model. I worried that I may have made a rash decision, but so far this scanner has performed remarkably. The image quality is great, it scans pretty quickly at 300 dpi, and it's compact enough to store easily. Sometimes when I scan a drawing the warm colors are shifted slightly into the cooler range, but it's easy to correct. Besides that, I couldn't be happier with this scanner!

I have a Mac OS 10.13.6. The LiDE 400 just works great for Photos. I downloaded the driver from Canon. From there it was put a Pic in and click auto scan. The Pic comes up in Pictures folder in Preview. Go to File and click Share - go to add to iPhoto. There you can Edit the Pic the way you want or just print it. If you have any problems just reboot the Mac and scanner to fix. Oh yea..don't forget to click the switch on the bottom of the Scanner and in System Preferences to hit the plus icon in Printers and Scanners to add scanner.....

Excellent color, clarity, and speed. Upgraded from LIDE 200 and am very happy.

During the Covid-19 Pandemic I was lucky enough to be able to work from home, but needed a scanner to insert patterns into my documents. I ordered the Canon CanoScan LiDE 300 Slim Color Image Scanner from B&H photo. It arrived in just 3 or 4 days with no shipping charge (a big plus for me) and I was up and running in no time. it is compact and easy to use and gives a wide range of quality choices. I highly recommend both B&H Photo and the Canon CanoScan for home or office use.

This is an excellent scanner for the price. Replaced my old CanoScan 9950F that is no longer functional in Windows 10. This new scanner is a fraction of the size. Amazingly thin. Nonetheless, it appears to make very good quality scans, and the new software is a major improvement. I can't say this will compete with a high end Epson, but for occasional photo and document scanning it's very good. Definitely cleared some space on my desk too.

I bought this as a replacement for my Canoscan 8600F which stopped working under Windows 10. It is very compact, aided by the side stand, taking up very little desk space. While it can be used in that position, I prefer to use it flat. There is no power switch, as the unit is powered when plugged in ti USB. Operation is simple and the results are good.
