IJ Utility Scan inferior to CanoScan Toolbox 5.0

We replaced a 600F with this 400. The scanner is more awkward to use, but acceptable. The IJ Scan Utility though is far inferior to the earlier CanoScan Toolbox 5.0. In the Toolbox all the settings I change regularly, mode, scan type and output file name are on one pop-up, not on a layer below. Also, I should have total control over the output file name. I should not have to remove date/sequence nbr every time I scan something. Both the hardware and software are a step backwards. If Canon had Windows 11 drivers for the 600F we would still be using a perfectly operating scanner and a well thought out interface.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I primarily have been using this scanner to scan my illustrations so that I can digitally paint them and so far it has been great for my needs. It’s quick and light but, like almost all flatbed scanners, I wish that it felt more sturdy so that I felt confident that I could carry it around in a backpack without it breaking. But I can live with just using it at home and I also like that it only requires a single usb cable to work. I would say that I’m very happy with this scanner :-)

I used this scanner very heavily immediately after getting it, making 2,600+ scans within a week for a high priority project. It worked extremely well, producing high quality scans. The software allows lots of useful options for adjusting the quality of the scan, the hard drive location for storing the files, etc. My only knock is it took a bit to figure out the scanning software but, once I did, I found this Canon scanner to be extremely useful. I recommend this unit highly.

I like the size of the scanner... the hardware scans very nice images. However, the communications between the PC and the scanner seems to get lost once in awhile if you wait too long between scans. Restarting the application resolves the problem. Don't know if this is a hardware or a software issue. For the money... it can't be beat!

Very functional and does as promised. Did not give it 5 stars because of software. There should be one software package, not 2, that combines all the functionality under one roof. Learning which software package to use for a particular type of scan is taking longer than it should.

This was a replacement for an older Canon scanner. It worked perfectly from the moment we set it up. Does what we expect. Great resolution and excellent color copies. The on screen menu is a little slow to come up but overall this is a great buy.
