Simple to use and reliable
Seems to be working fine—feeds documents with minimal jamming, faster than my old scanner.

Great scanner.
Works out of the box. No install required. Great scan copies.

Perfect duplex scanner
This is exactly what I needed to digitize boxes of old double sided documents. I love how this can scan in black and white and color. The software that comes with this is user friendly and works perfect. This is also compact so it can be stored easily when not in use. My only complaint is the out feed try jams up easily if you are scanning a lot of pages and not emptying it periodically.Only feature I wish this one had was the ability to scan ledger size pages.

Setup and use couldn’t be simpler
This is an interesting little gizmo. Just as advertised, it’s sole purpose is to scan documents into a variety of formats. Setup couldn’t be simpler; plug it in and connect the supplied USB cable. That’s it, you’re ready to start scanning. The software is installed in the scanner and it will auto install a shortcut on your computer when you connect the USB cable.My only (very minor) gripe is that I had a little trouble getting the feed tray to snap into place. No big deal. Just jiggle it a bit and it will pop right in.

Works Well
I purchased this item in used condition at a discounted price. It works perfectly. It has a few external blemishes but nothing that prevents it from functioning properly.The only draw back is that there is absolutely NO driver support for LINUX. As I primarily use a Linux system this is an inconvenience. One would think in this technologically advanced world we live in that this would not happen. But I knew it before I purchased the item and thus use it via a Windows laptop.I would ask that Canon develop drivers for this and all their devices for Linux users.

Great little scanner!
Love that it scans both sides at once. Scanning is fast and easy. I was even able to scan something that was thicker than a credit card and it did great except that it couldn’t bend to come out onto the pull out tray. I ended up pushing the tray in and not using it and then sliding the scanner to the edge of the table so the item could come straight out. The other thing I don’t love so much is that the scan of images makes them darker than they are – not horribly, but enough that I have to edit many of them. It would be nice to not have to do that. I’d also love to be able to pin the icon for it to my task bar for ease of access, but can’t. Overall though, for the price and the volume of items (images and documents) I had to scan, it’s been a little lifesaver and worth the money.

Ease in using
I believe the description of plug and play is a bit misleading. When I setup the scanner it gave an error message that the software was not available. After a few attempts I found the right link to download and then everything worked perfectly.I love the scanner which is very user friendly.I also have a Canon flatbed scanner which I love but was looking for one that duplex and has a document feeder.

J’ai rien aimé, pas conviviale pour un unilingue français. Les ajustement se font a partir de l’ordinateur mais je ne suis jamais parvenue a cette étape. Grosse déception pour moi.

Doesn’t have WIFI, needs to connect to laptop, cannot direct it to save to a USB port instead of having scan to laptop, save it and then transfer it to the USB stick. Too many step when trying to save time.
