Canon has announced a new and easy-to-use desktop scanner, designed with flexible USB and WiFi connectivity, to support small businesses wherever their workspace is set up.

The imageFORMULA DR-S130 desktop scanner is equipped with CaptureOnTouch Pro software which boasts a user-friendly interface with a simple icon-based operation.

The device can be activated from a smartphone or directly from PC or MacBook. Files can then be automatically scanned and sorted using zonal OCR, barcode and 2D code recognition.

The DR-S130 handles up to 3,500 scans a day, scanning 60 images per minute. Through its PUSH scan functionality users can send scanned files directly from the device to an output destination and avoid rerouting via a PC.

For easy document filing, editing and distribution, the imageFORMULA DR-S130 offers reliable versatile feeding, to allow users to scan a variety of documents from thin to thick, including plastic ID cards, embossed cards and passports. Its heavy-duty feed and separation rollers make batch scanning of mixed documents simple.

Using Active Threshold mode, features like auto colour detection, text orientation recognition, automatic paper size detection and deskew can save time.
