Customer Reviews for Canon - CanoScan LiDE 400 Flatbed Scanner - Black
Posted by: LeighfromDallas

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's okay - maybe expectations too high for this price point.

Instructions aren't clear on how to obtain the maximum resolution that this scanner is supposed to support. Included software for "stitching" scan was disappointing. It only works to combine two images side by side you apparently can't combine top and bottom (like to scan a legal document - hello). Granted I can scan most legal documents in my other sheet feeder scanner but I was hoping to use this flatbed for some old and really fragile items. Noisy even on "quiet" setting but seems to work fine.

Great product. Instruction Manual could be more user friendly, /jpg' resolution limited to 600 dpi. Fully scan capability only available in 'tiff' format for photos. 4800 dpi setting has not been found.

It's ok. More cheaply built than my CanoScan 8800F. And, not apparently as easy to use.
There is not a single, thorough instruction booklet on the Canon website in PDF form so had to download info, page-by-page, and assemble. A truly thankless job!

Lasted Only a Year

I bought this scanner from 2018-2019 and used it often due to homeschooling. I stored it away in my room at the end of 2019 and now in September of 2020 I pulled it out to use it and it doesn't work. It lasted as long as it was under warranty. Now it's past the warranty date and I'm out of a scanner which only worked for a year. Do not buy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is a solid scanner with good scan quality, though not much different than my LIDE 220 that's six years old. I bought this one because my Mac Studio wouldn't recognize the LIDE 220, and I wanted a scanner that used USB-C. This one does. However, it has one irritating quirk: it will regularly "wake up" and run for a few seconds. You can hear the scan head moving back and forth. This happens multiple times throughout my day when I'm not even using the computer it's connected to. It got to be so irritating I've now unplugged it and will only plug it back in when I need to use it. My old scanner never did this, so I'm not sure what's going on. But overall I'm happy with this scanner other than that one issue.

Scanner is being sold as 4800dpi when in reality, the crude software lets you only choose 600dpi as reolution
