It is fast, easy to use and equipped with innovative technology to give you impressive images that Canon is best known for. Plus it is so compact and stylish that it would not occupy too much space, so you can virtually place it anywhere.

The primary thing to consider in a scanner, of course, is image quality. Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 brings you scanned images with 4800x4800dpi resolution, remarkable for a scanner in this price range. Also, this scanner uses the scanner element Contact Image Sensors (CIS). This technology places the image sensor near direct contract with the object you’re scanning, so there are no more mirrors to bounce light off to capture the images with a stationary sensor. This, in effect, gives you more accurate results.

To further enhance the quality of the image, the scanner also features 48-bit color depth. This lets a high level of photographic detail to be captured; the colors are noticeably precise and exactly the same as the original document.

In addition to that, the Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 also helps eliminate the ‘shadows’ formed from the inside gutter when you’re scanning a book. You can now have shadow-free scanning and clean-looking copies.

The Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 Flatbed Scanner is not all about the quality of the end result, mind you. Canon understands the importance of a consumer’s time, so they wanted you to be able to scan documents rapidly – in just 14 seconds to be exact.

This scanner can work on a letter-size color original document in a matter of seconds. And in as little as 14 seconds, all the color details and fine points on your original are already copied. Reproduce clips from newspapers, pages from your notebooks or textbooks, and retain even the slightest details from the original – all in 14 seconds.

While we’re on the topic of speed, I would like to point out one of the LiDE 200’s strongest features: its four EZ buttons. These buttons equipped with different, important functions are readily available for easy access. Now, you can do a particular task literally with just a push of a button.

These four buttons let you scan and automatically save your copied documents. You can even instantly have a hard copy of your document. Just copy your file, and a button will automatically send that file into you printer and directly print it. How about a PDF copy? Yes, you can even produce a PDF copy of your multi-pages original document – with just a single press of a button!

The Auto Scan feature of the Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 takes easy scanning to a whole new level. This technology detects the type of the original document you're scanning, then automatically scans processes and saves the image in the appropriate format. Whether it’s a photo, a business card, a personal notebook or some form, just press the button and the Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 will do all the hard work for you.
