It stops working, and I have to buy another scanner
[ Posted: 2008-10-08 ]
It works with no problem, then it stopped working.
The software tells me that it cannot talk to the scanner.
It suggests that I unplug and replug the cords, but this does not work, either.
I reboot my PC WinXP-Prof and turn on the scanner, the system works again.
After this time, the system stopped working with the same message telling me unplug and replug. No matter how I reboot the PC, unplug, turn on turn off, etc, it just saying that it cannot talk to the scanner and I have to unplug then replug again.
Please, don't have attempt to buy it, and be aware of Canon Scanner.

I have had mine over a year and love it. I really like being able to scan any document right into a pdf file.
Works perfectly with no problems
Bad software
[ Posted: 2007-07-09 ]
This device worked fine for a while, then stopped working. When I attached it to another computer, it worked, but it won't work on the original computer. This expereince suggests a software problem, but though I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times, the scanner still doesn't work. There is no new software to be updated from Canon and the Canon software drivers install in an unusual fashion. I think that Canon may be a good hardware company but a bad software company. If you want a lot of frustration and heart ache, buy this scanner.
A good scanner

I bought this because Consumer Reports rated it well. I wanted something to do slides and all other types of scanning. I am happy with it but wish it did more slides at a time.
