Canon's ImageFormula Fires Off Double-Sided Scans

 

Need to scan both front and back of magazine page? Turn to Canon's Scan-tini and you'll have it in six seconds (just be gentle with the document feeder).

Speedy scanning, at just six seconds per page. Once configured, scans directly to Evernote with no problems. Document feeder holds up to 20 sheets. Can scan both sides at once

A bit chunky. Document tray and paper guides seem a bit flimsy. Complicated setup. Doesn't scan to cloud services other than Evernote. Needs to be plugged into two USB ports for maximum velocity

Canon imageFormula P-150 Scan-tini

 

Canon has managed to shoehorn a 20-page automatic document feeder (ADF) into the P-150, along with duplexing (scanning both sides of a page at the same time) capabilities. Its speed would be a reasonable clip for a desktop scanner, at 15 pages per...

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

Relatively large and heavy for a portable scanner. Initial setup is a touch harder than it should be

The Canon imageFormula P-150 Scan-tini more than justifies its large size with fast speed, an automatic document feeder, and the ability to scan both sides of a page.

Review: Canon imageFormula P-150 portable scanner

 

If you're in the market for a portable USB document scanner, or just one that requires minimal desktop space, the Canon imageFormula P-150M should definitely be on your short list.

When you connect the Scan-tini to your Mac, a drive icon mounts on your desktop. This small, 14.4MB volume holds a stripped-down version of Canon’s CaptureOnTouch Lite software. Canon calls this feature “Plug and Scan” and it means that you don’t have...

Great in theory

 

I read all the reviews and bought the scanner. If you need a low volume OCR scanner you can't beat this (so far). However, once you start feeding it more than 3 pages it chokes. I've cleaned the rollers with alcohol/qtip even though it has less than...

Document Scanner

 

I absolutely love this little scanner. Small enough to have sitting on my work desk all the time and it works perfectly. I have scanned one page documents, as well as, several pages. With a large scan it may jam but I believe that is just my doing. It...

Double Feed Problems

 

This scanner is a great product when it works. However, it will randomly get into a mode where it will throw a double feed detection regardless of whether there is one or not. After talking with Canon support twice about this I was told that if you...

Still going strong more than a year later and 1,000 scanned pages

 

Needed a light, portable scanner I could take with me to the office or when I work from home. I love the fact you really don't need a power supply. Just plug it into the USB port of my laptop and it goes. Great scans and very functional! It just can't...

Greatest Portable Scanner

 

This portable scanner is compact yet full of features that make scanning available anywhere you can bring a laptop computer. 2 sided auto recognize scan, self aligning of images if the paper skews. works with different size paper feeding at the same...

Good for the value

 

OVERVIEW: I have been using the product for only two weeks, but have scanned over a thousand pages. I bought this unit primarily to scan large documents (i.e. notes from grad school classes, manuals, etc.), and so the duplex mode and ability to put a...

Great scanner for double-sided pages

 

I researched scanners quite a bit before settling on this scanner. I have used it for several months now, and I love it. Here's the quick and dirty: Pros: 1) Quick. Does double-sided scanning by scanning the top and the bottom simultaneously, so...
