Canon imageFORMULA R40 document scanner - A4 duplex, double sided scanner, USB, Easy to use Software

Very good product, fast scanning, and many software features.

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.

Use this to scan invoices for our business. Lots of scan options. Works quick and scans both sides.I was worried it would have trouble feeding in, but this is working well.I can fill the feeder with about 30 at a time and it feeds without jamming.All good at this time.Probably scanned in over a thousand invoices so far.

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

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

The wrong mains lead was supplied.I wanted to use the scanner for scanning photos but I could not any decent results and was not sure the scanner was responding to option changes I made. There is no specific Photo setting.The software and manuals were difficult to follow, quite often different from the diagrams and pictures.

This scanner is very fast and simple to use. I use it as my own personal scanner next to my computer.

Excellent is almost every aspect except NOT 'sending to email' as an attachment. Will not recognise cloud based email ( eg Outlook New) so you will need to download and install a non cloud based email system for example just plain Outlook ( as part of Office 365) in order to send to email as an attachment. Took me 7 hrs and the help of Canon UK to work it out!
