I also like the software it comes with, it's easy to use and for my business needs it's just perfect. Yes, you just hook it up by USB to your computer and that's it, it's ready to go. I'm really not a tech-expert, so I can't provide details about the technical specifications that make this a great scanner, however, I can say that I have a home-based business and I find this to be a great product for what I need. It's very very light, easy to transport, and the best thing is that you don't need a power cord.
Having the ability to be able to copy, scan and e-mail without needing to go into the software is very convenient. The Cannon Scanner works very well and the instruction manual is very easy to understand.
if I was you I would go for another one I had bought a CanoScan 650U about 5 years ago and is still going strong and i was so impressed I went for another Cano Scan for my Company. it is slim and can be adjusted for thick books and it has only one USB cord for both scan and Power.this LiDE 25 has three small buttons in the front for quick scan-copy-email option which is very handy.
The only thing that bothers me is the software - it must be running in order for the quick buttons on the scanner to scan, and then when you want to save the photos you have to close the software before it prompts you to save. This scanner is extremely thin and lightweight. I feel that this is an excellent choice for such a low cost, and it has definitely met my needs. There's no File/Save option that is obvious. It runs completely off the power from the USB cable, no power cable. Quality from the scans is very high.
Great quality for a very reasonable price. I was worried about where I was going to fit the scanner on my crowded desk, but I discovered that is was small enough to easily fit in my file cabinet in a hanging folder. It takes about 1 minute to initialize when I plug it in each time, but after I'm done, I just lock the scanning mechanism in place and file it away until it is needed again.
