After bad experiences with Epson, I then myself - decided also due to the reviews on Amazon, for the CanoScan LiDE 210.
What can I say: He met ultimately complete my list of criteria, and even surpasses it.
The speed is a very good development to my old scanner: The color scanning a magazine (A4) with 300 dpi runs good eight seconds; which is a speed at which my old scanner does not even generate the preview!
The included software is self-explanatory and functional. If necessary, you have to set a good OCR software separately.
Very well done is the user interface of the Twain interface: From the simple, quick-to-use mode to the diverse configuration and manipulation capabilities of the advanced mode all my needs are covered. The scan results are sharper and more brilliant than my old scanner has ever produced.
This warm-up will also take far more as long as the old scanners - for a good 10 seconds Sets rid of scanner.
The scanning noise itself is a relatively quieter Surrton who also only a few seconds to stop.
The build quality is good, accessories complete. The device uses different from the old scanner a small USB port on the housing.
Practically, a supplied small plastic stand on which the scanner can be stored vertically and in which one can also perform simple scanning tasks. .. To scan a book or similar is you must be sure to remove it from the rack and place it on the table; the flap wide opening should provide enough space for the scanned area for each book format.
In summary, a great device with faster operation and practical features. My initial anger at the 64-bit system is gone: This scanner is real improvement over the old.
So I like to give a buy recommendation.
