Canon imageFormula DR-C240 Review
If you're in the market for a workgroup or small-office document scanner—or a faster-than-typical, price-is-no-object personal model—the Canon imageFormula DR-C240 ($795) is a strong contender. It's small enough to fit comfortably on your desk and is designed to scan big stacks of paper in a hurry, with a 60-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) and a 45-page-per-minute (ppm) rating. It doesn't come with all the applications you may need, but it largely makes up for that with capable scan utilities and fast performance.
The DR-C240 ($565.77 at Amazon) is one of the more impressive choices in a category of scanners that includes the Epson WorkForce DS-760 Color Document Scanner ($1,159.99 at Amazon) and the Xerox DocuMate 5445 ( at Amazon) , which is our Editors' Choice document scanner for moderate-to-heavy-duty use in a small office or workgroup. All three offer similar speed ratings and ADF capacities, and all three are well worth considering.
