Canon imageFORMULA DR-C240 Desktop Document Scanner

Paper has a way of accumulating faster than any office plans for, and the Canon imageFORMULA DR-C240 is the dependable answer to that problem. This desktop sheetfed scanner pulls documents through at up to 45 pages per minute, captures both sides in a single automatic pass, and keeps going to a duty cycle rated at up to 4,500 scans per day, which puts genuine archive-scale digitization within reach of a front desk or small back office. Ultrasonic double-feed detection guards against skipped or jammed pages, a 60-sheet feeder lets batches run unattended, and Canon's CaptureOnTouch software turns the whole process into a few clicks from scan to searchable digital file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is it with two-sided documents?

Rated throughput reaches up to 45 pages per minute, or 90 images per minute when both sides are captured, with duplexing handled automatically in a single pass.

Can it handle long or unusual documents?

Yes. It supports long-document scanning and accommodates items like embossed cards alongside standard paper through the sheetfed path.

How much can it scan in a day?

The duty cycle is rated up to 4,500 scans per day, which is genuine departmental scanner territory rather than occasional desktop use.

What keeps pages from being skipped?

Ultrasonic double-feed detection senses stacked or overlapping sheets so nothing slips through unscanned in a batch.

Digitizing a paper-bound office is a project that lives or dies on scanner endurance, and this one has the daily stamina, feed reliability and image quality to see it through. From first invoice to final archived box, the DR-C240 turns the slowest part of going paperless into the fastest.
