Description

A light scanner that fits in a drawer

At 1.26 kg the LiDE 300 is light enough to keep on a shelf or in a drawer and bring out only when something needs scanning. An optical resolution of 2400 × 4800 dpi turns invoices, contracts and photos into clear files. You can also lay a bound book on the glass, which a sheet-fed scanner would not accept.

Who this scanner is for

Home offices digitising invoices, receipts and contracts; students scanning book pages and lecture notes; families who want to save old paper photos on the computer. Because it does not read both sides of a sheet at once, it is aimed at individual documents rather than large stacks.
