Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

What can't you use a scanner for these days? Whether you're archiving old family heirloom photos or emailing a print article to a friend across the country, the Canon Lide35 scanner does what you need it to do, easily, without taking up much valuable desktop space. A patented Z-lid design allows you to smoothly accommodate thicker originals like magazines and yearbooks, even though the scanner itself measures just 1.5 inches thick. A stand is included to store it in an upright position, and a single cable supplies power and a USB connection. Even better, the cable's included in the box.

Both color and monochrome images come through cleanly, thanks to a 1,200 optical dpi and an interpolated resolution of 9,600 x 9,600 dpi. The included pack of scanning software provides you with plenty of options for storing, sending, and retouching; the scanner will automatically take care of scratches or lint on your originals, freeing your time to let you organize rather than repair them. Canon includes a one-year warranty covering parts and service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Considered the Epson 3170, got this for photos, and happy!, September 14, 2004
This review is from: Canon CanoScan LiDE 35 Scanner (Office Product)
Canon has some fantastic optics for photo scanning. So does Epson. I wanted to scan photos every now and then and maybe archive old photos, so great photo optics was important. Canon, known for great digital cameras, has the same quality in the scanners. Why this over the 3170? This is half the price, smaller (about 1/3 in height), and looks great. It fit about 4 4x6 photos on the scanner, use the multi-scan at 600 dpi and works fine. Sometimes though, I think the autocropping could be better. It took all of 5 minutes to set up and use. It does not need a separate power adapter as it uses the USB for power. Its quiet and fast.

I have done over 600 scans so far. Works like a charm. Its so fast, I can scan about 75 to 100 pictures an hour!

4.0 out of 5 stars A "best" entry level scanner almost substitutes for copier., November 8, 2004
This review is from: Canon CanoScan LiDE 35 Scanner (Office Product)
I am a private user with no Cannon affiliation. This is a fine product that I hope lasts for years. The scanner and software are a tremendous value for the money. While this is not a full blown professional scanner it is great for what it was made for: getting printed data onto your computer quickly, easily, and cheaply while substituting somewhat for a copy machine and doing some graphics work. The included CanoScan Toobox software makes the scanner do simple functions with ease.

Copy Timing & Quality: I love the copy directly to printer function. You can shrink and enlarge by 25% to 400% or custom % size. The 75-300 dpi setting works fine but the 600 dpi copy function locks up my system and is too slow and the files are too big for my liking anyway - a switch to the HP print language driver away from the HP postscript driver on my HP4500 color laser printer seems to have fixed this problem. For most quick copy non critical uses the fast 150 dpi setting is fine though text picks up a slightly "blocked up" or "bold" look with fat edges. 300 dpi gives a more normal looking copy. A 150 dpi scan to "copy" in color (color scan looks better even for black and white images in my experience) takes about 15 seconds from start to being dropped on my print spooler. A 300 dpi takes about 30 seconds. Reasonable times compared to most cheap home copiers I've used but not blazingly fast. You have to add your printer's print time to get the total time to make a copy. The copy quality is almost up to a regular copy machine but not quite unless maybe you spend time tweaking the settings. There is a tendency to get a slightly gray rather than white margin with the 150dpi copy that seems to go away on the 300 dpi copy. This could also be due to a smaller bulb in this small scanner verses the larger bulbs in normal copy machines. As I say with some adjustments to the software and at 300 dpi it usually goes away but I just want to automatically copy without adjustments. Buy a dedicated Cannon copy machine if that is what you need and they are reported to me to be better than other brands during this time of "sell it before it brakes" trash office products that are presently available in the mass selling office stores.

File Size: The scan to "copy" function has a jpg file that is rather large and might print slow on some systems. I wish I could adjust the jpg quality level to my desires in speed and quality. 150dpi color gets a decent, fast, scan to printer for a quick copy function and size of about 5-6 meg, 300 dpi is half as fast (makes sense) and much larger in jpg (20-24 meg). The 24 meg is a slow print even from my postscript HP 4500 color laser.

The scan to "file" (pdf) makes smaller files maybe only 10% of the size of jpgs from the "copy" function in my experience. The pdf is more efficient.

The scan to "email" jpg file function uses a more compressed version of jpg that makes a good looking mailable image and allows you to limit the max size of the scanned file. This is of great help to speed emails and get them through servers that don't allow large files. It also will save the file in a folder so you can use this small size jpeg for other uses.

The ArcSoft program is needed to get to 1,200 dpi since the CanoScan tool box maxes out at 300 to 600 dpi depending on options. This is okay since scanning is slow past 300 dpi anyway and the files get big.

To copy newsprint: Try Grayscale scanning and lighten up the adjustment a bit.

Physically: The buttons on the front are reassignable but I don't know why you would want to. They are too hard to read from their low position. Click on CanoScan's "Settings" function to see what they do and to reassign. The top has a flimsy but adequate hinge. The "turn it on the side" attachment is a joke, since HP tried this others follow, but to position correctly you will want the scanner on a flat surface so you can press the top down on the print or magazine, don't delude yourself into thinking that a flat top scanner needs no space.

It is not made to scan film negatives or slides. I tried both and it just won't. Stick to paper and printed pictures.

Install on windows XP was simple. I have a USB connection straight off my modern (made within the last 2 years) Intel motherboard and have not had USB problems as others have commented. You might need the Service Pac 2 XP update. In my experience, when scanning is happening, I can't do anything else, that is I can't use other software or operating system functions, if I do Windows XP will lock up and I have to restart.

To beat this scanner you have to spend more money like for a medium line Epson Photo scanner and then you would not have the convenient copier business software according to reports that I've read. It is not a full substitute for a copy machine but is fine for most home users. Professional OCR scanners costing thousands of dollars scan faster and use about 200 to 250 dpi as a standard scan so in the scanner world the 150 to 300 dpi for a normal scan at 15 to 30 seconds for a $80 scanner is a good value.

Compared to the HP All-In-One that it replaces for me the Cannon is fun to use. I grew disgusted with the HP so I bought a separate Brother $200 fax and this Cannon scan/copier. The HP's menu system was a mess always jumping back to the beginning, the machine kept telling me the unit was busy when I pressed the copy key a second time rather than using memory to do successive scans, it had cheaply made plastic hinges which broke on the document feeder, it had software problems on Mac, and HP's support is waning because they require serial number and invoice information just for simple support questions...goodbye HP...hello Cannon. Thank you Cannon and Brother for a great substitutes.

Additional: Recent color graph scans show very good color differentiation even with reds which surprised me given the low cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Little Scanner That Could, September 19, 2004
By 
Julian Nam (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Canon CanoScan LiDE 35 Scanner (Office Product)
This scanner is tiny, it is light-weight, and it is USB powered so you don't need to worry about plugging it to an AC outlet. This scanner gives great looking scans with true, sharp colors. With the USB 2.0 connection, this scans fast for most home or small office users.

The set up is very easy, and using it is also very easy. It comes with the CanoScan Toolbox software which is easy to learn. On the scanner are four buttons. You press the SCAN button on the scanner: the scanner scans the picture and opens it with the software of your choice. There is also a COPY button on the scanner: it will scan then print to your default printer. The E-MAIL button: it will scan then open your mail software and put the picture as an attachment. The PDF button creates Adobe PDF files from the scanner. The LiDE 35 has all the features of the LiDE 50 while costing less and weighing less.
