imageFORMULA R10 Portable Scanner | Double-sided Scanning for Home & Office | USB Powered | Up to 12 Pages Per Min | 20 Page Feeder | With Canon CaptureOnTouch Lite Software

Happy with this little machine. I bought it for the compactness and it is very small and easy to store. Scans are good and the OCR feature works well. Sometimes it doesn't pull in the last page when you scan a batch of paper but it is easy to append more pages to a document. Really happy

Great scanner! So light & easy to use. Very happy

I purchased this item on November 23, 2023, and unfortunately, it began to develop faults by November 2024. I reached out to Canon for support, but the process was frustrating as I was directed to multiple departments. Eventually, they offered a solution, but it came at a cost higher than the product's original price, as outlined in the attached invoice and repair estimate. Given this experience, I believe it's reasonable to question the durability and reliability of the product. I would recommend carefully considering alternatives to avoid encountering similar issues. I share this feedback constructively in the hope that it helps others make informed decisions and encourages improved quality and support.

Had a bigger Canon scanner previously but after 10 years it was getting a bit tired and emotional. Don’t do as much scanning as I used to so went for this instead. Incredibly easy to use but not as robust as my previous machine. Will probably serve me well but if you do a lot of scanning I’d recommend going for a bigger Canon

I was actually thinking why such a big thing is to advertise a document scanner as portable. But it kind of make sense now when slowly we are going to work in hybrid, some days from home some days from the office. I haven’t used a scanner for many years and it’s great to see the technology improved significantly, the speed of the scanner is way faster than 10 years ago while the size of the machine shrinks to half. This scanner is just slightly wider than an A4 size paper, it’s super portable, doesn’t require acres of desk space. It’s 285 x 95mm, and at less than 1Kg. When I opened the box, first I thought they forgot to put the accessories in it. Basically, there was only the scanner an USB A type to micro-USB cable and the user manual. So where is a DC charger, where is the CD with the driver? Well, you don’t need any of this, The R10 doesn’t need an external power supply, gets all the power it needs over the supplied 1.7m USB cable. And when you plug the R10 into your computer, a USB-connected drive appears containing the embedded CaptureOnTouch Lite scanning app, which you simply double-click to start scanning. That’s how simple it is. And it’s the same on Windows and macOS as well. It can be used for mono and colour scan with the speed of 12ppm and 9ppm (paper per minute). If it this number doesn’t mean to much for you then let me translate for you: it’s fast as hell. The main feeder can handle paper weights up to 128gsm, with a dedicated front slot for scanning embossed cards up to 1.4mm thick, and since it’s a duplex mechanism it can scan both sides of a page in one go. Featured with an automatic document feeder with a capacity of a 20-page. The scanned documents can be saved on any of the well know formats such like JPEG, TIFF and searchable PDF. The Plastic card scanning feature is something I never used or seven seen before. If you insert a card into the slot, the scanner will sip it in like an ATM does with your bank card, scans both sides and spits it back. Overall, the Canon R10 scanner is super impressive, very quiet but powerful and almost packed with all the features you need for a light office use or for personal use. Small but strong

Perfect to carry from home to the work office and even to the garden studio. The only thing it's missing is a carry case which is a real shame for a device that's marketed as transportable. Virtually slimline and inconspicuous - not nearly as slimline as the MacBook Air. It is however, light in weight and a breeze to carry even on the tube - in my backpack, not hugely protected from knocks and bumps. It's just at home with A4s, as it is with the most slender and flimsy receipts and even ID cards. It scans both sides of the paper at once if you need it to. Picture quality is very good when scanned and the software doesn't require you to be a tech wizard. It was a simple setup with preloaded software and the ability to download the CaptureOnTouch Lite software to our MacBook. ▪︎ Uncertainties.... I am still unsure whether the android smartphone app from the Play Store called 'Canon CatureOnTouch Mobile', supports this Canon R10 model. I have emailed Canon and will report back with an update as I haven't managed to allow it to configure with the android yet, though I might be doing something wrong... ▪︎Update - Canon's Response: "In response to your enquiry, regarding your Canon IMAGEFORMULA R10 Scanner, I would like to inform you the following: 1. Canon CuptureOnTouch Mobile App is a free application that lets you scan directly to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices via a Wi-Fi network. That means you cannot download the application on an android device. Furthermore, your scanner is compatible with USB 2.0 connection method. 2. Your Scanner is compatible with the following Bundled Software: - Built-in CaptureOnTouch Lite Scanning software (Windows 8.1 / 10 - 32bit/64bit) - Built-in CaptureOnTouch Lite Scanning software (macOS 10.12 / 10.13/ 10.14/ 10.15) 3. The latest firmware version will update CaptureOnTouch Lite to the latest version (as regards as mac computers)." ▪︎ Consensus: The inability of software not currently compatible with android devices, makes the portability pretty much redundant to android users. Who quite rightly, want the same features made available to them, as they are for Apple users - with an app that delivers quick turnaround, On-the-Go. I hope they can develop an app in the Play store soon.

Prior to having this incredible scanner from Canon, I used to rely on a mobile app to scan all documents I have. I always thought the mobile app is sufficient as the phone camera is reliable and of high quality. Soon after getting this Canon imageFormula R10 scanner, I realised how mistaken I was. The difference this scanner brings to the comparison is remarkable and therefore I ended up ditching the old method in favour of this scanner. What impressed me most is the portability, the speed of scanning, and the convenience that this scanner provides. I don't need to check if angles are covered in the frame of the camera, whether the angle of the camera is accurate, whether the lighting is adequate, and whether I can scan without having a watermark on my scans. This scanner does everything and does it perfectly and in the most hassle-free way possible. It is very fast and reliable. I never had to rescan documents or cards as the first time is always the right time. I can also scan two sided documents easily, that's just an extra convenience. I tried this with my iPhone, MacBook, and my Windows Desktop. It worked flawlessly without any issue. If you plan to get this to use in different locations with your phone then make sure the phone is iOS as Android phones are not supported yet. A bit of a downside but something that might change in the future. All in all, a reliable scanner with impeccable performance.
