Canon ImageFORMULA P-208

 

Canon's ImageFORMULA P-208 is a neat, USB-powered, portable scanner, with optional wireless connection. Strangely, no OCR software, though.

Well-designed support software, Automated and one-touch scans, Plastic card scan

Fiddly paper guides, No OCR software supplied, Can only scan to graphics files

Review: Canon ImageFormula P-208

 

Portable duplex scanners usually come at a premium, but Canon's little P-208 offers this and more for far less than the competition.

A compact duplex scanner that’s easy to use, performs well and runs without drivers.

Compact design, very portable, good software, easy to install, all perfect.

Since I have a Mac, the driver came in a CD which is no use, but it wasn't hard to find the appropriate one on Canon website.

Initial thoughts are that this is a good product. Have only used it a few times and it's been great so far less one slight concern. See below.

Sometimes, the pages were slightly tilted for a few scans which meant the scanned images were not straight.

Canon P-208

 

I needed a portable, duplex scanner to speed up the process of copying client's documents in support of, for example, a mortgage application. The scanner is very compact. One face is exactly the same size as a 30 cm ruler, the other face is only...

None found.
