Canon ImageFORMULA P-215

 

Canon's latest offers high specs for a portable sheet-feed scanner, including duplex scanning.

Can scan ID cards ; Neat cover/feed tray ; 20-sheet feed tray

No case supplied ; Photo scanning could be better ; Bit heavy for true portability

Canon imageFORMULA P-215 review

 

Portable scanning for PCs and Macs

Easy to install ; Fast ; Fixes problems of its predecessor ; Portable ; Duplex scanning

Expensive ; Bundled software not great

Even on the highest quality setting, the Canon imageFORMULA P-215 was fast, and the results were excellent.

Canon P-215 review

 

Although we've seen a number of sheetfed scanners over the last year, truly portable models like the Canon P-215 remain something of a rarity.

In general the Canon P-215 works very effectively. We weren't quite as impressed by the feeding mechanism as we hoped to be, although those looking to scan letters and other smooth materials should have few problems. The software is certainly...

Canon imageFormula P-215 review

 

Portable scanner that doesn't require batteries

Fast, Compact portable scanner, Draws power from USB on host computer

Expensive, Relatively modest scanning resolution

A price tag of £257 means that the P-215 is quite a bit more expensive than an ordinary flatbed office scanner. However, its compact, portable design and clever software makes it a good choice for people who need a basic scanner for business documents...

Canon imageFormula P-215 Scan-tini Personal Document Scanner

 

Although big and heavy for a portable scanner, the Canon imageFormula P-215 Personal Document Scanner's fast speed, duplexing, and ADF make it well worth the extra size and weight.

Automatic document feeder. Duplexes. Rated at 15 pages per minute for black and white as well as grayscale

Relatively big and heavy for a portable scanner. Application programs don't install by default

Canon ImageFormula P-215 - Easy Scanning On-the-Go

 

Boasting convenient plug-and-play capabilities, Canon's P-215 scanner draws power from a single USB cable and has the ability to produce high-quality documents of up to 600dpi resolution in monochrome, grayscale, and full-color. However at 1kg, it is a...

Canon imageFORMULA P-215

 

Excellent, quick and hassle free OCR which is also brilliantly accurate. So quick you wonder if it has done the job!

Minimalist software interface means you have to dig around to check settings. Does not impede capabilities however.

Canon imageFORMULA P-215

 

Bought this scanner because it is compatible with Evernote very compact and easy to set up. Not the cheapest but does everything I wanted from it.

It kept giving an error message when I first used it which was not covered in the manual but after restarting the computer it worked fine.
