Canon imageFORMULA R10 - Portable Document Scanner, USB Powered, Duplex Scanning, Document Feeder, Easy Setup, Convenient, Perfect for Mobile Users, White

This is one of the best scanners I have ever worked with. It is compact and lightweight, scans crisp images, can handle a decent amount of sheets along with drivers licenses/insurance cards,etc. As a mental health practitioner who needs something directly plugged into my computer for HIPAA compliance, this was an amazing solution. The software just shows up when you open the device, so there is no setup, and no power cable as it just uses your laptop. Works with my computer and with my coworkers computer (very compatible) as well. Seems to be made of decent material, although you have to make sure you remember to close the paper guides before you shut the lid, as those are just plastic. I encouraged two others to buy one of these, so I am highly satisfied with this purchase. Definitely one of the better purchases I have made.

I work hybrid remote, so I needed a good scanner that travels well. This fits great in my backpack (with case purchased separately), connects easily via USB, works quickly and scans both sides of the document in one pass. The software is simple with no installation or apps required and fits my needs perfectly, with capability to customize how the files are saved by default. Great scanner, I couldn't do my job without it.

Sadly, this is not the scanner you are looking for. Most every scanner on the market nowadays can work with Windows, Mac, AND Linux. I have all three systems, and every other portable scanner I have had works on all three. This one, however, was a great-looking deal but even Canon said "yeah, no Linux" for this which was why it was purchased in the first place. Sadly, it also has antique connections - using the outdated and frustrating USB Mini-A 2.0 which has not been seen nor heard of since the days of Blackberry. Quality was ok, durability cannot speak to, though it lacks on versatility and instructions were very cryptic and non-existent for Linux use (as a matter of fact, Canon even bold faced lies on its site on the capabilities of this device in terms of Linux, making one believe that it will work. As such, I could not speak to image quality as it was not able to be leveraged correctly - as versatility is clearly lacking, I would pass this up as a price that is "too good to be true" and simply move along and find something better.

This little scanner was well worth the extra money! It's perfect for what I needed, especially after trying another scanner from a different brand that was VERY confusing, had to download this and that, etc., before you could use it. Setup for this Canon scanner was: open box, open document feeder, plug in, load documents, scan! It has BUILT IN software - no need to go to various sites to download sketchy looking drivers, etc. I had two large documents scanned and emailed within 15 minutes of taking it out of the packing box! Power source is USB cord. The image quality is extremely good, and the instructions were, thankfully, SO easy to follow. I don't know how long this scanner will last, but hopefully it will be durable. Canon is a good name, in my opinion, and I'm very impressed with the automatic document feeder and the duplex scanning. Went through a 15 page duplex document that had been stapled for several months without even a hiccup. Thank you, Canon, for having the foresight to make your portable scanner a joy to use!

I'm coming back a year and half after buying this for a review. First I'll explain my personal purpose for it. I wanted it so I could use something for over the road traveling in an RV. I wanted something that didn't just use wifi as that can be a challenge on the road sometimes. I wanted something that could do multiple pages and both sides of pages. My level of technical ability: LOW. When I bought this and opened it, I began the trial at home to get used to it. I love the size - it's perfect. I love that the program pops up everytime I open it, making it easy to start using. I dislike At first I struggled with how to save my stuff. Like everything once you figure it out, it's very easy. RESOLVED It eats pages, you can't do more than about 3 pages. However once you accept that and work with it, it is very easy to scan 3 then continue to add more and click the scan more pages to continue. I've come to terms with this and accept it. RESOLVED. It will eat just a single page and scan it crooked. It's not hard to re-scan it and continue on. I've come to terms with this and accept it. RESOLVED. I'm still learning things about it and I honestly don't use it much, however it is my primary scanner and overall I'm very happy with it, I've really learned to like it and accept it's imperfections because at the end it gets the job done, it's never quit (so far), it's been reliable, it's very small and compact. OVERALL I do recommend the purchase. Maybe bundle it with a package of patience and realistic expectations.

If you need a portable scanner to scan more than a few pages at a time, buy this one. I was surprised to see that this scanner is made in Japan. I just scanned well over 26 documents (~150-200 pages) while traveling, and it handled it flawlessly. - No jams, no double-feed, no ripped pages. - OCR works well, it found text within the graphs and images on the slides I was scanning, though scan resolution will effect this. - 300 dpi is reasonably fast, while 400- 600 dpi is very slow. - Automatic page orientation works without issue. - Software is portable, no need to install anything on your laptop, it stays on the scanner. - Overall, build quality seems great, just be careful with the document feeder. Overall, I am very pleased with this scanner and would recommend. Also, if you intend to travel with this, get a case.

Pros: Easy setup and scan quality is decent. Very small, lightweight, and portable when closed up. I love that it uses just one USB cord to connect to the computer which also provides power. Not having a separate power cable is a big plus. Cons: The feed tray seems utterly unreliable to handle more than one piece of paper at a time and not "double feed". Trying to scan a 20 page document is an exercise in futility if trying to do multiple pages at once in the feed tray. Would I buy again? Eh, maybe. If I could find something that was similar size and portability that had a reliable capability to put more than just a single page at a time into the tray, I would happily pay an extra chunk of change for that. But there really isn't much like that on the market and so for truly portable scanning in a very small package, it's either this or nothing right now. And this does beat out having nothing because I do have times where portable scanning is a necessity for me. p.s. The feed tray also likes to twist the paper a bit. This is a kink that can be worked out, but you need to test it a few times. Don't start with the first thing you scan being a paper that you can't end up having get creases in it. I consider this to be a non-factor in my rating because you can work this out with just a bit of practice and it's more of a warning to practice before use on an important document.

For someone that isn't too savvy with computers I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this unit is to install. It plugs into your computer via a USB-A connector. Since my Apple laptop is newer it only has a USB-C connector, but Amazon sells a USB-C to USB-A adapter. Once the scanner was plugged in, it automatically turned on and showed up on my desktop. It asked if I wanted to update the software and I did (very easy to do). From there, it worked perfectly. This works exactly as it should. It scans both sides of the pages, straightens pages, can skip scanning on blank pages, etc.. As other owners have mentioned, if you are using multiple pages it can get a little tricky. However, I have scanned up to 10-pages and most times it does not have any issues feeding them thru. Sometimes, it may feed 2 pages at a time vs 1, but as long as you are watching it it isn't an issue. The unit scan incredibly quickly. Just a matter of seconds and it will scan both sides of up to 10-pages. Very impressed with this unit. It folds down very small, and I also purchased a travel case for it.

J'aime tout de cet appareil. Il fonctionne sur Windows et sur Mac avec très grande facilité. Les logiciels d'application sont intégrés et ne requièrent aucune installation, ils sont prêt à être utilisés. Il scanne recto/verso et en couleur et de plus on peut y insérer plusieurs documents à la fois. Ses logiciels très faciles à utiliser. Je suis simplement estomaquer des performances de cet appareil.

Justo lo que necesitaba se pueden escanear hojas tamaño carta y oficio sin configuraciones complicadas, facil de utilizar

As stated in the title, it's quite practical and fast, easy to store after each use.

Al principio puede frustrar sí pones muchas hojas. Sin embargo, al despegará y colocar 5 máximo funciona de maravilla. He escaneado 600 hojas por ambos lados y no tuve problemas (salvo que un par de hojas se quedan pegadas, pero ese es error mio). Definitivamente vale cada peso invertido.

Tengo w11 22H2, todo bien, la experiencia es bastante fácil e intuitiva, normalmente Canon el proceso es tardado y suele ser tedioso hasta tenerlo bien instalado, para este escáner es todo lo contrario, excelente producto, la imagen escaneada tiene buena resolución. Esperemos que cumpla con su vida útil.
