The Canon CanoScan LiDE 35 is slim and lightweight and features a double-hinged lid. This allows large items to fit on the scanning bed. It has an optical scanning resolution of 1,200 x 2,400 dpi and enhanced 48bit colour depth.
Mounted on the front of the scanner are four shortcut buttons. Each will launch its own application to scan and copy documents, create an image file, or generate an email attachment. These buttons can also be reconfigured to launch an OCR application or create PDFs.
In our tests, the CanoScan 35 took only 10 seconds to create an A4 preview and 11 seconds to scan an A4 image at its lowest resolution setting of 75dpi. This is largely due to the fast USB 2 connection. Scanning at 300dpi took 26 seconds but its maximum 1200dpi resolution took five minutes.
Scanning quality was good and the supplied software, including ArcSoft PhotoStudio 5.5 and Scansoft OmniPage SE, can remove any dust or scratches.
