Canon CanoScan LiDE 60 Color Image Scanner

From the Manufacturer
Enjoy quality scans at an affordable price. For work or play, the sleek CanoScan LiDE 60 Color Image Scanner is a one-stop scanning machine. Four easy buttons automate the scanning process, making it simple to scan, copy, and create e-mail attachments or PDFs. Just position your original and select the use for the image! Old family snapshots, important documents, your work samples and personal notebooks--whatever the task, the LiDE 60 scanner will get it done fast.

The USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface enables incredibly fast image transfers to your computer, with the fastest possible scanning speeds and previews of your scans in approximately 9 seconds. One simple cable provides both power and the USB connection, reducing the number of wires around your desk. Plus, an included desktop stand gives you the option of positioning the scanner vertically to save desk space.

As you'd expect, this versatile machine also delivers high-quality scanning performance. It produces a maximum 1200 x 2400 color dpi resolution (software enhanced: 19,200 color dpi) and 48-bit color depth, for over 281 trillion possible colors. The LiDE 60 scanner comes with powerful software including our CanoScan Toolbox 4.9, which provides a range of creative and practical tools.

Smart features for amazing results
This is one intelligent scanner. For larger projects, Multi-Scan Mode lets you scan multiple images simultaneously, rather than one by one. Just arrange them on the glass and select "Multi-Scan"--that's it! For convenience, each image is automatically saved as an individual file. The LiDE 60 scanner also comes with Quick Automatic Retouching and Enhancement (QARE) technology, which reduces much of the dust and scratches that may appear on your older originals. It even auto-corrects to help with graininess, picture fading and improper backlighting. After enhancement you can archive these beautiful images and then e-mail them or print them for family and friends.

Through thick or thin, the Z-Lid top delivers
The unique Z-Lid expansion top even delivers high-quality scans of bulky items such as personal notebooks. It lifts approximately 1 inch vertically then lies down flat on the item you are scanning, for a clear, complete scan.

Awesome scanner - Must have!!.......2007-05-03

I've had this scanner for over a year now and loves it!!! The scanned documents are cleared and the scanner is just so easy to use! I use it to scan all my important documents into PDF files, old photos, etc. Unfortunately, I broke the glass on the scanner when I took it on travel with me (my fault) and bought a CanoScan LiDE 70, which I thought was an upgrade. Boy do I miss my CanoScan LiDE 60, which is so much easier and clearer than the Lide 70.

Better, but still a pain........2007-03-16

This is my 3rd Canon scanner. The unit is nicely made, very slim and lite. Physically much better than previous Canon scanners. However, the Canoscan software is only marginally better. It took a while for me to get it installed correctly, actually two tries.

Great document/receipt scanner for Windows and Linux.......2007-03-13

I've used the Canon CanoScan LiDE 60 under Microsoft Windows Vista and Ubuntu GNU/Linux 6.10, and it works great in both. I purchased this product for scanning documents and receipts, and it does its job very well.

With Windows Vista, you need to download the drivers from Canon's website (they're not included with Vista). The drivers are very minimal, lightweight, and easy to use; in about 5 minutes I was scanning documents straight into Adobe Acrobat.

The LiDE has to be one of the easiest hardware installs I've ever done in Linux. I plugged the scanner in, and started xsane. It detected my scanner and I was scanning immediately--that's it, no having to install or configure anything!

I've a few complaints:
* Noisy: the motor that draws the scanning head makes a very high pitched screech when moving. When I first received the device I thought I'd be able to use it in a library--not happening unless the library is deserted.
* Adequate color reproduction/photo scanning: The color reproduction on my Epson 2450 is leaps and bounds better. The LiDE however is easily 1.5-2x faster, a fraction of the price when comparing MSRP, and has much nicer drivers.
* Too lightweight to scan books easily: The scanner being featherweight is a good thing, except if you have to scan books or anything bound/stapled of more than a couple pages. Stuff shifts easily if you do not hold the scanner and book while scanning.

GREAT PRODUCT.......2007-02-18

This is a really great scanner. I had some trouble loading it in my computer but a call to customer help fixed it quickly. It does great color image and e-mail. I have a home office and use it alot.

Great Scanner.......2007-02-01

It installed in XP quickly and easily. I was careful with the directions since I know you must not plug in the scanner until you are told to do so.
The OCR sotfware works very well including tables.
It very small, compact, and quiet.
I like the fact that it gets power from the USB port and doesn't need to be plugged in the wall. I make a lot of programs for the church and some local groups.
The features satisfy my needs.
