The
CanoScan LiDE 20 is an easy to use scanner that gives you excellent, high resolution scans with consistent results across the width of the page. LiDE (LED Indirect Exposure) is Canon's own, advanced scanner technology. It provides scans of up to 600 x 1200 dpi and 48 bit colour with very low energy consumption - so low, in fact, that the LiDE 20 doesn't even need a power plug. It gets all the power it needs from the USB connection.
Compact Stylish Design
Canon endeavour to produce high quality, yet compact and stylishly designed products, and the CanoScan LiDE 20 is no exception. The LiDE 20 measures just 256 x 383 x 34mm and is finished with an attractive Ocean Blue coloured lid. In addition, the LiDE 20 includes a scanner stand as a standard accessory, enabling the user to store and scan with the scanner on its side, providing the worlds smallest installation footprint.
Single USB cable connection / No AC Adapter Required
Feel the ease of a simple connection with a single cord. The CanoScan LiDE 20 uses a USB 2.0 Full Speed interface cable to provide both data transfer and power to the scanner.
One Touch Scanning Experience
The CanoScan LiDE 20 includes three EZ scan buttons, ensuring quick access to great features. The "Scan" button saves the scanned image to file, "Copy" sends your image to a printer for automatic output, and "Email" saves the scanned file, as a specified file size, for attachment.
QARE v 2.0
QARE Technology (Quality Automatic Retouching and Enhancement) version 2.0 is featured on the CanoScan LiDE 20. QARE removes the minute dust and scratch on photographs using a software based interpolation process to achieve retouching effects. QARE version 2 has been enhanced, to improve the performance of dust and scratch reduction whilst also incorporating a function which reduces the noise level even further.
LiDE Technology
LIDE is Canons original and emblematic technology "LED Indirect Exposure". Essentially, LIDE allows Canon's Notebook scanners to gain higher colour fidelity and less distortion in image processing, whilst achieving image quality that is superior to CCD scanners in their class. LIDE also allows Canon's scanners to achieve lower prices, greater reliability and a smaller footprint , because there are less moving mechanical parts, and the CanoScan scanners use lower power consumption.
LIDE gives the new CanoScans higher sensitivity than conventional scanners, and is regarded, by industry experts, as the next-generation of image sensor technology.
Multi-Photo Mode
The One Path Multi-Scan feature on the CanoScan LiDE 20 ensures faster scanning of multiple images than previously. Historically, the more multiple images to be scanned, the longer scanning will take, because images are scanned one at a time. One Path Multi-Scan ensures that multiple images are scanned collectively ensuring faster scanning operation.
