I’m pretty good at finding fixes for computer problems, but I give up on this one. Canon made a real piece of shit. Do not buy:
CanoScan LiDE 400
There are so many problems documented online with this flatbed scanner model, and Canon has done absolutely nothing about it except sometimes offer to trade in your faulty unit for another quite possibly faulty unit (but only if you live in the USA). I’m not going to link all of the problems I found because just searching the model name (LiDE 300 or LiDE 400) brings up:
A. Canon’s useless website and
B. Complaints about these products
Save yourself a headache and stay far, far away from these products.
