Review: Very Good for the Money - I needed a basic scanner to digitise 100 documents. Set up was quick and within no time I was able to have digital copies stored locally as well as sent to a Google Drive folder automatically for sharing through the scanners own software. It's a good bit of kit and I was able to scan all of my documents in under an hour. The time per scan pass was reasonably fast. I was very happy to see this scanner is powered over USB which makes it very useful if it's needed when away from home or out of the office. If you're a mobile worker with a laptop or tablet, you will be able to power this scanner through your USB port. I haven't used it to scan photos or artwork so couldn't comment on how well it reproduces colour images. But grey scale documents and OCR is spot on.
Review: Great for scanning photos - I bought this exclusively for scanning in old photos and for £65, I am very happy with it. It took me about 2 hours to scan 250 photos. I scanned two at a time at 600 dpi and the quality is fine for me. The software for this scanner will automatically separate and crop the photos, so by scanning two at a time, as long as you leave a gap between them, the scanner will create two separate images on your computer and they will be perfectly cropped and aligned - so you don't need to keep them straight when putting them into the scanner. It takes about 30 seconds for the scanner to scan 2 photos at 600 dpi. Once you play around with it to make sure you know what you're doing and that you're happy with the quality, it doesn't take long to work through the photos and scan them all in. The software (which can be downloaded) is pretty straightforward and easy to use. If you are on macOS, you don't even need any drivers (not sure about Windows but they are all on the Canon website anyway). The only thing I will say is that this scanner has a lock switch on the bottom - I've no idea what this is for (maybe to stop your kids from scanning stuff?) but it is important to put it to the unlocked position or the scanner won't work. And if you unlock it whilst it's already plugged into the computer, you will need to disconnect and reconnect it to the computer (i.e. unplug / plug in the USB cable) after you put the switch to unlock, otherwise your computer might not detect it. This scanner also does not need any power source / plug socket, which is handy. It gets power from your computer (the USB cable is supplied). Overall I am very happy with this scanner - it did exactly what I wanted it to do and it was pretty cheap.

A: No .It comes with Canon IJ Scan utility

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quite good for a basic scanner
*by D***T on 16 March 2026*

Image quality is good for the budget, plugs straight in to my MacBook without needing to install any drivers, as you scan through the 'Image Capture' App that comes pre installed on OSX. The cable supplied is a USB-A fitting so had to use an adapter to connect. Editing options seem quite basic, but scanning resolution is good. Speed is okay, I've scanned over 100 images over a weekend without any trouble. Easy to use with Mac, there is a CD supplied to use with PC. Dust easy to clear, the scanner doesn't seem to attract much dust.
