Review: Little scanner, big results! - As an artist, I have been meaning to find myself a nice flatbed scanner for art purposes, scanning sketches or what have you, but found myself procrastinating until I could devote time to really look at reviews and figure out a high quality, high end scanner. I found myself in a position recently that I needed to manually sign some documents and get them to where they needed to be by the next day, but my car was in the shop. I thought maybe one of those portable wand style scanners might be good, and I could use it also to scan receipts, but they are so expensive, and I needed some thing that would be delivered the next morning. What came up was the Cannon LIDE 300, which would be delivered between four and eight in the morning, and this was perfect—I could sign the documents, scan them and upload. And I would also have a nice inexpensive scanner for things. I was looking for something that would be an overnight delivery, and dare I say, on the “cheaper” side and this fit the bill. This printer far exceeded my expectations. I realized with the first scan that this little machine was way more useful, and of a higher quality than its price would suggest. Inexpensive, yes, but by no means a cheap piece of equipment. I am on an older OS Mac, so I was worried I would not find some thing that would be compatible with my system, but in reading the reviews, it looked like the scanner would work—and there were some very helpful reviews on how to use the scanner without having to download any software for Mac. It was pretty much ready to go straight out of the box, plug into your computer, go to system preferences under “printers and scanners”, hit the plus sign and you can add this scanner. Use the “printers and scanners” window to access the scanner—just hit the “open scanner” button and it will give you the scanner “user” window. It starts immediately with an overview scan and from there you can change the resolution, the size, rotation angle, even the format —say PDF or JPG. You can even do image correction with brightness and contrast. It’s pretty intuitive —all you really need to do is play around with that scanner window for a few minutes and do some test scans and you’ll see exactly where you’re at. For each new page/item that you scan you need to close the scanner window, go back to the “printers and scanners” window and hit the “open scanner” button again… There may be a way for it to auto detect when you put a new page in the scanner, but I have not figured that out… Maybe I should take a look at the manual, which is still in its plastic bag… L O L. There is a “combine into single document” option, but I chose to just do separate PDFs, and then combined them in Acrobat. And it worked out great. The quality was fantastic! And the color 300 dpi test scans I did on some color items were phenomenal, and when you enlarge them up and look at the detail, I was just blown away… Much higher quality than I expected, and I’m starting to think maybe I don’t need a higher end scanner. As I said, I bought it as an emergency measure, but now I find myself with quite a useful, high-end (in my eyes), and inexpensive little scanner. I will probably be saying quite often “how did I ever live without this”… And again I’ll mention the price is right on point, pretty inexpensive for the quality that I’m seeing, and I deal with resolution/dpi levels In my job as an artist… If you need additional information, go in under the (desertcart) reviews for this scanner and type in Mac in the search window—that was very helpful for me in making my decision to buy this scanner… The information I ultimately used for how to access the scanner without software was from one of those reviews. The scanner worked with the cable that came with it, and in less than 10 minutes I was scanning… No download of software needed for now, but I might check that out in the future. I thought this review might be helpful for others who are on an older system Mac… Sometimes it’s really hard to find useful information on products, regarding compatibility with the older systems…For reference I am on Mac, Mojave 10.14.6. Because yes, sometimes the newer OS does not always equal the best. I will say, with the positive experience of this little inexpensive model scanner, I will upgrade to another Cannon scanner, when and if needed. That’s how strongly I feel about this scanner. PS the scanner does have copy, scan/auto send as part of its functions (buttons), but I’m guessing you probably would need to download some software for those functions. As noted, this was a quick solution for some “emergency” scans, and this device was perfect! I am looking forward to seeing what else this scanner can do.
Review: Peg it or Pdf it. scan it or send it. Great price, good quality output. - Very good performance, excellent pricepoint, nice selection of options-photo,docs,scan,mail forward. Good choice of capture quality with optional decision making process for saving work product. Controls on the panel or computer directed with software help available. I used it without having to close the cover to facilitate a production environment scanning volumes perhour. I highly recommend this for the home user.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the scan software alow for scanning and seperating multiple photos at the same time? (Multi-scan)**
A: yes, you can scan multiple photos at one time and scanner will separate and give each its own file name.

**Q: How well does this work with photos? I'd like to digitize all my old photos.**
A: I'm a genealogist and use a scanner a lot for photos. I had a Canon scanner which gave out after 20 years and got an Epson which I found difficult to use. 'Went back to Canon and got this one. It's easy to use-actually even easier than my previous Canon, which I loved. I can highly recommend the Cano CanoScan Lide Scanner.

**Q: Will this scanner do 11"x 17" paper?**
A: Not without folding, scanning several times and using the software feature provided to "stitch" the images together.  I have not tried this so cannot comment on how well it works.

**Q: If my computer (older pc) doesn't have a usb-type c port, will i be able to use this scanner?**
A: Yes  your older computer can use this scanner, because the cable that connects the scanner to the computer has an USB 3.0 Type-A connector which is the part that goes into the computer whilst the other end which is an USB type-C connector goes into the scanner.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ CanoScan LiDE 300
*by A***D on May 31, 2025*

For the price this scanner is excellent. The size and basic USB connectivity make it almost portable. For simple uncomplicated document scans its perfect. The software is very straightforward but lacks certain options found on the pricier scanners that helps with bulk photo digitization - not a big deal if you have additional image editing software and don't mind spending some extra time to get the most out of the scans it produces. I wasn't expecting the colors to be so accurate but was pleasantly surprised. Combining this with the 600dpi limit, I achieved some fantastic results after only minor editing in Photoshop. I doubt you'll find a better scanner for the price. It is far superior to any of the cheap wand scanners that have flooded the market in recent years.
