The Canon CanoScan LiDE 300 is a compact, USB-powered flatbed scanner ideal for home or small office use. It offers high‑quality document and photo scanning (optical resolution up to 2400×2400 dpi), with simple one‑touch EZ buttons for common tasks like “Scan to PDF”, “Auto Scan”, “Copy”, and “Send”. It includes features like “Auto Document Fix” and “Auto Photo Fix” to enhance scan quality, a lid that lifts to accommodate thicker items like books, and a slim design that saves desk space. Because it draws power via USB, you don’t need a separate power adapter — just plug & scan.
