Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Home Office Document Scanner: Canon imageFormula DR-C225 for Enhanced Performance in Scanning by James Hova

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great hardware and software

I use this to digitize my life - 1980's tax returns, house rents, annual accounts etc! It was easy to install - I'm using Windows 10 and was up and running in about an hour. I created about 10,000 pages with very few issues - staples, wrinkled paper and the like - all things that I had to fix before I could start scanning. The program is great - I scan to PDFs stored on my desktop, then rename and transfer to permanent storage - I keep multiple copies - online, in the cloud and on USB sticks! You already have over 4 GB of data! When scanning, I found that the software displays it correctly, but when I later open PDFs with Adobe Acrobat, I sometimes have to rotate the view - no big deal. Another thing I love about this software is that it detects if there is something on the back of the page and scans/not scans as needed - GREAT! I love it so much I'm considering buying another one if this one ever breaks! I know there's an internet-connected version, but I'm comfortable with a USB 2.0 connection. I thought it might be a bit slower and that the USB 3.0 connection could be better, but it's very fast - it's rated at 20ppm and it does it - forwards and backwards at the same time.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • No insurance
