I'm about to purchase the Canoscan Lide 30 for use on a laptop. However, since this scanner gets its power from the USB port, I'm worried about a) not enough power for the scanner through the laptop's USB port b) the scanner draining the laptop battery Should I get a scanner with an AC power...

My CanoScan N1240U scanner, set to "Color(Documents)" and 300dpi, takes 3.5 minutes (210 seconds) to scan one page of PC World Magazine (actually page 175 of the July 2004 issue). The resulting image quality, a PDF file, is just fine, but the time to scan this images is more than I care to wait. ...

I've finally decided to look into buying a new scanner, since I finally gave up my darkroom. After doing some research I think I've settled on either the Canon LS4000 or the Nikon IV ED (ls 40). I was hoping someone could break this down for me. I have an HP Photosmart that I've been using...

Can someone advise where I can download this utility program. Thanks, Scott

My Canon D2400U seems to be forgetting where the scan head is each time it is powered on. When previewing/scanning, it tries to move the scan head back past the end of the scanner. After a lot of grinding, the driver complains either that the scanner is locked (it isn't), or gives an error code...

HI folks, I've just read the various messages regarding a film on the inside face of a D670U scanner and the messages that followed this. The film, on the inside at least is, I believe, plasticiser from the case that evaporates due to the heat build up from the lamp. When I asked Canon about...

I have had a canon D660U for ages & it's worked fine, both under my old Windows 98 system & under my more recent XP system. But suddenly today it's stopped working. The system claims not to be able to find the scanner. It's connected fine (in fact I hadn't even changed the connections)....

I have had a D660U for several years and find it excellent. Recently I reinstalled it on a new computer and cannot get the lamp to shut down after a ser period. I can recall upgrading the software somewhere and this had a checkbox in it for turning the lamp off. The CD software doesn't. I am at...

G'day I know my Canon FB610 scanner is a dinosaur but it's only had about 4-5 hours of use since I bought it new about 6-7 years ago. Since I upgraded my notebook last year and now running WinXPHome I'm wanting to know if anyone has, or knows where I can get, drives for this O/S please? The...

I originally installed it on Win98. Upgrading to XP, it insists on a driver FB62PCPL.CPL,.... I'ved dl'd several supposed drivers to fix this, but the system keeps insisting this file is needed, anyone know the solution to this?

Anyone got a view on the Canon FS 4000 over the Nikon LS 40 or the Canon 9900 Flatbed with 8 slide tray.

I've recently returned to shooting slides instead of negative film and was wondering if there is any "best" way to feed them into my Canoscan FS4000. Is there any advantage to using the film carrier or the slide carrier? Would there be any advantage to having my slides not mounted and left in...

Hi there, I´m thinking about purchasing a Canon FS4000US. Does anybody here has experiences with this model?! Thanks for your help! Cheers, Carsten

1. Does it make any difference altering histogram etc before scanning? Does this affect the way the scanner scans a negative/slide or are all the 'changes' done afterwards i.e. the slide can be scanned at normal settings and edited afterwards. 2. Using FARE (dust and scratch remover) sometimes...

Scanning slides or negatives at 4000 dpi on this scanner - as I zoom in I lose detail in multi colour speckly effect. How can I tell if this is film grain or noise/problems with the scanner? Its supposed to be a very good scanner

I recently bought (off eBay (my bad)) a supposedly new Canon IS-12 scan cardridge. The white calibration sheet and the Scan Document holder are missing. I would be happy to pay for these two items. email

I have a Canon Lide 20 scanner at work, and a Canon D660U at home. I use the "scan to pdf' feature of the lide 20 software often. Is there a way I can get this software to work on the D660U? I have installed the lide 20 software with the D660U and it say that it is unable to locate the scanner. Any...

My old HP scanner finally quit all the way. So I went to Newegg, and I found two really inexpensive scanners: Canon LiDE 25 is for $44.77, Canon LiDE 70 is for $89.88. I will not be scanning any photographs, since I have a digital camera. Yet every once in a while I scan a document. These...
