Canon imageFORMULA P-208II Scan-tini Personal Document Scanner, Black (9704B007)

I have been using a bed scanner and a adf scanner/printer. I must say this is a qauntum jump in terms of both quality and easy of scanning. The product was also delivered much ahead of the schedule. Good buy, Thanks

I am a professor. Several times I need to scan books and other documents to make notes. This scanner has everything that I needed even more it has. I am astonished by its performance. It saved my 90% time.

Excellent

quick both side scan scan at a time 10 documents

Easy to use but not okay for huge scanning just few is really good and product is really amazing and super performance and excellent

Doesn’t work please take back

QUALITY IS GOOD. SCANS TEXTS SUPER FAST 💨. PICTURES TAKE LITTLE BIT OF TIME. PICTURES QUALITY IS RESTRICTED TO 600PPM. GO FOR IT.

Easy to use. Now due to coronavirus physical courts are closed and efiling cases are started. This product is easy to use and scanned legal size papers both side at a time. 20 pages are automatic document scan is also most useful feature of this product. Plug and play. I suggest every advocate to buy and use this product

Superou minhas expectativas. Excelente produto!

Purchased this after ordering an Epson scanner and it not working. After the simplicity of ordering and use of the product I am incredibly pleased with my purchase. Would definitely recommend this over any Epson scanners

This scanner is truly plug and play. It is so much easier to use than the Epson portable scanner it is replacing. Very pleased with this Canon scanner!!

I scanned several hundred paper documents and backed them up digitally with the 3-2-1 method in an effort to clean out clutter at home. The quality of the scans is pretty good, but the software is awful as I expected. This is pretty much always the case: you buy some hardware which works pretty well, but the software interface was an afterthought (looking at you, Corsair). There are some limitations with the on-board memory where if you have a big legal-sized document that you want to scan in high resolution it will not fit in memory: apparently, this device is unable to stream the document across USB at the same time it scans although it seems not to fill memory across multiple pages. I recommend using black and white scanning unless you need grayscale or color, and to avoid the highest DPI setting. Even for dense legal documents or receipts with tiny print I found that I didn't need the higher DPI settings. The generated PDFs were perfectly legible. It also uses the ancient mini-USB (not even micro USB) instead of USB-C which has been standard for several years at this point. At least it is USB powered and does not need a separate power brick. Feeding paper is a bit frustrating. The feed tray is not very deep, and documents regularly fed in at a slight angle. It also supports multi-page documents, but will sometimes double-feed. I found myself manually feeding second and third pages in to avoid this. Also, you feed documents in both upside-down and from the back of the unit. The instructions are clear but it is not obvious if you do not read them. Linux note: I used Windows 11, not Linux, but apparently it is compatible because it supports TWAIN. Digging into it a bit, it seems that other people reported success on various forums. I eventually want to test this out, but have not done so yet. Overall I gave it five stars despite some minor nitpicks. I bought it knowing it is a compact, portable, and inexpensive scanner. This was a deliberate choice because I want something I can fit in a drawer along with other seldom-used PC equipment such as an external Blu-ray drive, or throw in a bag to take somewhere else. I expected that a scanner this size will not have a big comfy feed mechanism like units three times it size and price have, and may take some extra time to scan. Which is also fine given after my initial scanning frenzy, I might need it once every month or two. Also, it gets a bonus star for not being HP. I owned one of their printers, once. Once. Now I go out of my way to avoid that company, even for non-printer hardware such as scanners.

Working perfectly on my Mac, not automatically recognized by Apple's Image Capture app. Over the years, I've used many scanners. This is the first one to ever not be automatically recognized by Apple's built-in Image Capture app. I had to download two items from the Canon website, a TWAIN driver and the CaptureOnTouch app. The CaptureOnTouch app has that "old-school" Windows 10 look about it, but it works well for both text and images. I am happy to report that the scanner has NO battery. A scanner, (or most any other device) should never have built-in batteries. With a built-in battery you cannot put it in your luggage when flying commercially. Also, when those built-in batteries will no longer take a charge after two or three years the entire product must be thrown in the trash. Try to avoid anything with a built-in, non-user replaceable battery. The quality of the scans are excellent. I only use this for travel purposes. However, for someone who is tight on workspace this is still a good choice.
