Canon imageFORMULA DR-M160: “Outstanding 50- to 70-ppm A4 Departmental Scanner”

The Canon DR-M160 scanner has excellent performance and convenience. Scanning up to 60 pages-per-minute (ppm)1 /120 images per minute (ipm)1, and holding up to 60 sheets in the automatic document feeder (ADF), it quickly and effectively captures and stores business information, scanning both sides of a document in a single pass. And with an intuitive control panel to pre-program scan tasks, the DR-M160 scanner adopts and simplifies higher-end scanning features into a compact and easy-to-implement package.

Canon imageFORMULA DR-C125: “Outstanding 20- to 30-ppm Workgroup Scanner”

The space-saving Canon DR-C125 scanner makes converting and capturing paper-based documents to digital format an ideal option for businesses. Delivering color, black-and-white and gray-scale scan speeds at up to 25 ppm1 and 50 ipm, the DR-C125 scanner reliably handles a wide variety of document types, including Long Document Mode for documents up to 118 inches in length, for example media records such as account logs. The scanner also features user-selectable paper paths for scanning items such as thick documents, plastic ID cards, embossed cards, and driver licenses.

Canon imageFORMULA P-215: “Outstanding Mobile Scanner”

The Canon P-215 scanner reflects Canon’s imageANYWARE capabilities, helping to create a flexible corporate culture, allowing employees to work virtually any time or anywhere. The P-215 measures only 11 inches long, weighs just over two pounds and incorporates an ADF in a sleek design. To complement the ADF, this scanner also includes an integrated card scanner, capable of handling plastic ID cards, driver’s licenses and embossed cards. Using electrical power via a single USB cable, the P-215 scanner can scan a batch of up to 20 documents at its maximum scanning speed of 15 pages-per-minute (ppm)1 in color or black and white and yet still easily fits into a briefcase for portable and mobile use.
