| 267812 | 2004-09-01 05:14:00 | Would a normal USB port supply power to run a Canon LIDE 20 Scanner or do I have to buy a powered USB Hub for the job? | arjay (1202) | ||
| 267813 | 2004-09-01 05:15:00 | If the scanner doesnt come with an external power supply, then yes. If it has a power socket on the back - Then no, you will need a mains adapter for it. Chill. |

| 267816 | 2004-09-01 06:18:00 | What rubbish!! Were does it say it does not need power? I have one, and if you read the manual, it says, connect the USB cable - connect the AC Adapter to the scanner. If you don't know what you are talking about, it is better to keep from saying anything. Bye |

| 267817 | 2004-09-01 06:32:00 | Now, Now Fella's. No need to get nasty. I am looking at buying a Canon LIDE 20 USB Scanner and just want to make sure that it will run on a normal USB port. The scanner has no power socket, |

| 267818 | 2004-09-01 06:46:00 | Scanners and printers can suck a fair bit of juice, make sure your PSU can handle it. If it doesn't make any difference to you consider a seperately powered scanner rather than one via the USB bus. Cheers Murray P |

| 267819 | 2004-09-01 07:15:00 | Looking at the scanner specifications (www.canon.com.au), it gives a power usage of 2.5W (max), 1.25W (standby, with no mention of needing a powered hub. I guess having the power via the USB port mean less cords and power plugs to find homes for. | Jen C (20) | ||
| 267820 | 2004-09-01 08:23:00 | Looking at the Specs that Jen C supplied, it states that it is powered from the USB port, so there should be no problems. Bye |
