Does not play with Windows 10
After a successful installation of the drivers, there were error messages saying the scanner wasn't on or plugged in - the scanner does not have an on/off button and it was plugged in fine. Several uninstall/reinstall later, some internet sleuthing revealed that this scanner just doesn't work with windows 10.

Small footprint, Big results!
I've only used this Canon scanner once, for a PDF, and I'm sure it will do amazing things with photos. My only 'con' at this point is that, unlike my previous Canon scanner, this one does not come with an 'icon' for my desktop. So now I have to click on the Windows 'start' icon to find the 'IJ Scan Utility'?? I scan docs frequently for business and having to apply th...

Nice upgrade from my old Lide 200
My Lide 200 was end of life and end of support. The Lide 400 is a nice upgrade. Utility works great with my MBP running Monterey. And the USB-C connection instead of some goofy mini-USB that was used before is much more convenient. If you need only single sheet scanning don't know how you can go wrong with this.

good fit so far
Because I work on a mac setup took a bit of tech support, to get the drivers. If I had followed the original and sparse directions things would have been worse. I do NOT use wifi-reviews said not reliable. I like this machine, but do not like the lack of an on button-have to unplug it from my imac to avoid its acting like it wants to turn on. Quality is good, but have...

bummed
The scanner arrived with a defective cord to the computer. Neither Canon nor the local Staples could replace it, so i had to return to the local store (i had bought it on line) and they would order a whole new one and have it delivered to the house. Unfortunately, we needed it two weeks earlier.

Great little scanner
So far, so good! I have just had the scanner for a few weeks, but it was easy to set up, and is working great. We have always had CanoScan scanners and I've used them for scanning all the artwork in multiple books I've written/illustrated.

Good Scanner
Although I spoke with Sales and Technical Assistance before making the purchase, who were both great, was disappointed when I learned it was incompatible with my version of Linux Mint. Therefore, I had to return it. A suggestion is to improve the process for obtaining the correct driver for the operating system. No other complaints other than to make reaching a 'live' p...

Hate I bought it. No longer a fan of Canon products.
Poor product. Ridiculous setup procedures. My fault I did not know it does not support Bluetooth which is weird for this day and age. Also, to sensitive to movement since the instruction warn you about handling the device.

I have Windows 10 and it works perfectly with it. Installed in less than 4 minutes with no problems and works perfectly. It is simple to use and I'd recommend it to anyone who needs an inexpensive scanner.

flatbed scanning is better and has more options'
A flatbed scanner can scan more than things on paper.

CanoScan Lide400
It's ok. More cheaply built than my CanoScan 8800F. And, not apparently as easy to use.
There is not a single, thorough instruction booklet on the Canon website in PDF form so had to download info, page-by-page, and assemble. A truly thankless job!

Easy Setup, easy use
I have only used this scanner a few times since receiving it, but it was very simple to connect to my computer and I’m satisfied with the scans I get. I wish it could interface with Photoshop as my old Canon scanner did, because the Photoshop Import function has more controls, but my old computer running Photoshop with the TWAIN Acquire plug-in isn’t capable of interfac...

Works great wit VueScan
I got it, followed the instructions to hook it up to my iMac with one exception I did not load the Canon software as I use VueScan. It works great with VueScan. If you have trouble with the Canon software try out VueScan.

Wonderful, but tricky to install
The scanner itself is great. It replaced my trusty Lide 110 when Windows 11 did not support it. However, I spent days trying to install the software, which would get so far and stall. I happened upon another’s post to remove everything I had downloaded, pause Windows Defense and try again. Five minutes later I was scanning.

Driver/Software won’t install
Driver will not install to my windows 11 laptop. I spent hours working at it with no success . Canon Website shows that others have had the same problem but Canon offers no solution. so I’m sending back. Darn, I really wanted this to work.

IJ Utility Scan inferior to CanoScan Toolbox 5.0
We replaced a 600F with this 400. The scanner is more awkward to use, but acceptable. The IJ Scan Utility though is far inferior to the earlier CanoScan Toolbox 5.0. In the Toolbox all the settings I change regularly, mode, scan type and output file name are on one pop-up, not on a layer below. Also, I should have total control over the output file name. I should not ha...

Canon CanoScan LiDE 400
I scan over 100 multi-page letters, the scan were done quickly and with out errors, using both my PC and my laptop, the PDF program allowed me to put each letters into a single file. Would recommended this scanner. Also did great job on scanning photos!
