You can scan with higher resolution of 4800dpi, see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z6yF67tt5ZU.html

These scanner only work via USB, but you can define the buttons for shortcuts, like Scan to cloud See here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xv9MVMD4U-4.html

You're welcome!

You are so welcome!

Results are fine. There is a gutter shadow correction function for book scanning

For photos the LiDE400, but unfortunately all the CCD models are end of life now, like CS9000F, that model was superb, but not selling anymore.

@@PrintCloud I have about 2000 photos to scan and upload to my PC. Not HIGH quality needed, but would you day the 400 would be ok for that? Thanks, helpful review

The 300 is more than adequate as when scanning photos if you are not going to print enlarged copies of the original then you only need to scan the original at 300 dpi to print copies. If you're going to make and print enlargements of the original then your enlarged copy needs a resolution of 300 dpi to get a decent photo/ print quality. For example a 6"X4" photo( 1800 dpi x 1200 dpi) enlarged to 9"X6"( 2700 dpi x 1800 dpi)would need to scanned at 600 dpi to get a quality photo/print.

I suppose that piece of plastic could be ordered as a service part, but I am afraid you cannot fix it to LiDE300 as on the LiDE400 there is a small hole to fix with the stand.

@@PrintCloud interesting thanks.

They are ok, you can scan books as the cover can be lifted to get thicker objects to the glass.

@@PrintCloud Thank you for your reply!

Scanning with 4800 dpi is needed only if you need extra details when you crop small part from original

yes it can, I covered more details in the following video, see here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7DeVMMbeGRA.html

they are about the same ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xv9MVMD4U-4.html

@@PrintCloud In ScanGear Mode in Preferences the 300 has a silent mode so i assume the 400 would also have which i presume makes scanning quieter although there isn't much noise to start with anyway.

I do not talk prices, you can google them

Tnx for the comment. Indeed the scanning for documents 300 dpi is enough, for photos about 1200 dpi, more resolution results mostly in bigger files and not so much more quality. You can see Lide400 in next videos part3 and part4. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-akwSbDpnG6k.html

No, it does not have special adapter for negatives.

@@PrintCloud aw nuts. But thanks.
