Sophisticated performance made simple.

Looking for an easy-to-use scanner that offers high-resolution scanning and all the latest features? The CanoScan LiDE 30 USB Flatbed Scanner has it covered. Just over an inch high, it has all the features you need to scan images, copy documents or e-mail your favorite photos. Quality is outstanding with up to 1200 x 2400 dpi resolution and up to 48-bit depth that delivers stunning color reproduction with more than 281 trillion possible colors. All at the touch of a button. To scan, place the photo on the platen and push the "scan" button-that's it. "Copy" and "e-mail" functions are just as simple. Operation is made even easier with just one cable for power and USB-no extra AC adapter needed. The LiDE 30 scanner even removes much of the minute dust and scratches on photos automatically with built-in QARE 2.0 (Quality Automatic Retouching and Enhancement) technology.


Scan several photos at once-or multi-page documents to a PDF file.

Scan multiple photos at once with the push of a button. "Multi-Scan mode" is automatically activated and scans all the pictures in a single pass, preparing a separate image file for each. It will even adjust any slightly misaligned photos. Scanning multi-pages into a PDF file is just as easy. Innovative software even allows you to save your images directly to CD's as easily as scan, click and burn (Windows only).

Z-Lid™ top expands for bulky items.

The LiDE 30 scanner is small but can tackle big jobs. The exclusive Z-Lid expansion top lifts high and stays flat for scanning books and magazines. Most other scanner covers lift only at an angle, often resulting in poor scans.
