Reviews around tech support (4.61 of 5)

  • UPDATE: I just got off the phone with Canon tech Support
  • i emailed the tech support and received a response, but by then i was fed up
  • I hope to contact tech support one more time to find out the answer to this and will update
  • I have not yet had the need to make use of Tech Support, so I don't know if they are going to be of any use or not.
  • At the end of the day, feels a bit clunky and mechanical b/c of the software.

Reviews around price (4.59 of 5)

  • one of the worst tech experiences i've ever had. returned the next day and bought an epson scanner in the same price range which works great.
  • Fast Scanning and Great Quality at an Affordable Price!
  • Back in the day, Fujitsu included a free copy of Adobe Acrobat which made justifying the near $500 price tag easy
  • It does a great job with 40ppm, compact design, with a good price
  • In sum, while this is a review, I see no issues with this noteworthy enough to make a fuss over and the price I see listed is very well priced for the features and build quality

Reviews around job (4.37 of 5)

  • It is fast (at 200 dpi), scans both sides of the sheet, and the bundled software does a good job overall
  • It did a GREAT job and even on high resolution it was fast and they scanned wonderfully .
  • It scans fast, straightens the images well and does a fairly good job dropping blank pages.
  • The scanner says it will rotate pages into the correct orientation and overall it does a really good job.
  • It does a great job with 40ppm, compact design, with a good price

Reviews around size (4.26 of 5)

  • Different size and thickness of paper wasn't a problem, but I suggest to scan thin (and/or) creasy receipts separately, one after another
  • The size is great as it does not take up much space and when not in use I can close it up and place on a shelf
  • is a good size machine (think small toaster over or large toaster).
  • Was bummed because I liked the size and looked like it would have been fairly easy to use

Reviews around quality (4.19 of 5)

  • Its annoying, but not as annoying as when it goes into sleep mode and starts FLASHING BLUE
  • Quality is so much better and response is quicker than my all in in one machine
  • However the resulting photo scan was poor quality.
  • The scan quality is excellent, with a little adjustment for speed
  • The scan quality is very good as well as the resolution.

Reviews around product (4.05 of 5)

  • This product has been a disaster since I have purchased it.
  • Have tried to register the scanner with Canon, but it is not in the list of available products to register
  • As a loan signing agent, this product is definitely worth the money
  • Product is very easy to use.. well constructed and while having only one true function, it does that great
  • I guess the word you might be looking at is "intuitive" - it doesn't feel like a smart product

Reviews around machine (3.99 of 5)

  • At the end of the day, feels a bit clunky and mechanical b/c of the software.
  • , I got over it once I solved my initial issues and really do love this little machine.
  • After using a flatbed scanner for many years, I was excited to move up to a faster machine
  • It might be okay for light record keeping at home, but Canon would have to re-engineer their software product before this machine could compete well with other small office scanners.
  • All in all, once I got over the horrid frustration and time it took to set this up, I really do enjoy the machine, even if the pdfs are not searchable.

Reviews around thing (3.39 of 5)

  • But scan up to 100 pages or more and this thing is worthless unless you like lines and dirty marks
  • The thing is, it will work fine for about 2-3 small batches, then I started getting the error message that all of a sudden my computer doesn't recognize the device.
  • But as far as speed and ease of use, this thing is wonderful
  • lol).The 40ppm scan thing is a bit misleading it should say this is really only if you are scanning general text pages at low resolution.
  • But scan up to 100 pages or more and this thing is worthless unless you like lines and dirty marks

Reviews around canon (3.34 of 5)

  • The Canon is MUCH cheaper.
  • With Canon, you get the Canon software AND TWAIN support, which means you can use anything!
  • Canon swears it works with Big Sur and has not even released an updated driver or software package for it
  • At the end of the day, feels a bit clunky and mechanical b/c of the software.
  • Not only is the Canon ImageFORMULA R40 easy to use, it has a very small desk footprint.

Reviews around software (2.95 of 5)

  • Easy installation and Easy Software plus VERY FAST scan speed.
  • And of course the software is impossible to remove from my computer without doing a complete dissection of my registry

Reviews around paper (2.37 of 5)

  • OR shiny color paper - this scanner WILL accordion pile your scanned papers if you do not remember to remove the papers from the paper exit area.
  • It does take a bit of tweaking to get a setup that allows you to name the files the way you want as well as where you want them to scan to
  • it scans some very thin paper as well, which was another concern I had.
  • The scanner may start to jam up paper as it exits the scanner
  • It has a tray that slides on the back to support papers, a USB cord that is proprietary and goes from the scanner to the computer, and a power cord that is in two pieces with a transformer connection halfway between

Reviews around review (1.54 of 5)

  • and I suspect filled with fake reviews
  • THE BOTTOM LINEAfter getting so frustrated that I threatened (to myself) to write a horrible review and hoped the company went out of
  • the reviews are decent
  • WARNING- IN DEPTH REVIEW for those wanting to make an informed buying decision.
  • After sending in my initial bad review, Canon contacted me a day later and put me touch with a very knowledgeable person who patiently answered my questions

Reviews around edge (1.00 of 5)

  • Those dirty edges are noticeable and distracting when trying to read a PDF book.
  • I have to scan EACH book page and then INDIVIDUALLY upload EACH book page into PAINT and either erase that dirty edge or move the border inward to erase it.
  • OR all the very edges on one side of the page has a dirty looking edge that looks horrible when the book pages are put together into one PDF file
  • The company I send my books out to to scan never have that dirty edge.
  • I thought maybe the dirty line is caused by my old paper cutter....but even with a relatively new book ( I keep my books inside plastic zip lock bags to prevent dust, yellowing etc. ...the dirty edge is there when scanning but NOT there when look at the page with naked eye.
