But as I've had to do this out of necessity a few times (all in XP), this scanner used to be a staple of mine in quite a few PC environments, including notebook PCs.

Its driver issues are all that've stopped me from going out of my way to configure the LiDE 20 on multiple PCs for swapping.

I've also never tried to install the LiDE 20 in Vista, though there's always an off chance Canon released normal drivers for that. I did once lend it to a friend for their OSX Tiger, but got nothing but complaints about the install. I've never used the LiDE 20 on a Mac, but understand it's possible. My best successes usually come from running Canon's automatic install (a Java application located on Canon's support site site), which I remember using on Canon USA and Canon Australia. Don't expect Canon's USA website to help much, as the downloadable installs rarely give Windows XP the correct drivers. Regardless, the LiDE 20 really is flawed with regards to its installation and drivers. I imagine such things could make this scanner seem unappealing, but this isn't a scanner to bank on for scan quality or speed (as there are plenty better for that), but instead for the great practicality that it offers. Despite its graphical limitations, the LiDE 20 isn't a fast scanner. The quality is fine if just above average, and more than passable if you're not looking for A+ results. Though I didn't expect great scan quality from the LiDE 20, it's surprisingly crisp on simple office documents and isn't even bad on more elaborate or colorful subjects, capturing decent detail albeit with some occasional lin es. Most importantly, its ability to run from USB power (rare for a scanner) lets it bypass different voltages, making it an asset for international travel. Because no external (AC) power source is available, the LiDE 20 sometimes draws insufficient power from USB hubs, but works great when connected directly to the PC.

For what it is, the LiDE 20 despite its age is no exception.įor those unfamiliar, the LiDE scanners are very thin, lightweight and run on USB power only.

Tricky to Install.Ĭanon, in general, makes some of the very best graphic accessories you can buy.
