Fast, fast, good for scanners and supplies

A big improvement over my HP 4-in-1 printer. The scanning speed is fantastic. The output is better. My OCR software works much better with the Canon output than the HP output.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Somewhat serviceable

Great document scanner

I wish it had scanning options like the neat scanner I had. With Neat Scanner I could scan a batch of receipts and with Neat Scanner I could scan a batch of receipts as 1 document or I could scan a batch of receipts as individual receipts without having to scan them individually with a Canon scanner.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • New competition appeared

Great time saver in office electronics

My wife used it to digitize all her family photos. What she would otherwise take about 8 hours, she can now do in one. The only thing is that every time she tries to use it her computer doesn't recognize it and we have to play with the computer and the scanner to make them work together, but that's probably just a problem on our side.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I'll be silent

great scanner if you find the right driver

my review seems blocked from posting webpages for the right divers and software when using win 10 64bit. So you have to spend hours and headache to find it yourself, but Canon's webpage guides you to drivers and software totally outdated for Win 10i. Previously Canon used DRM 160 which cost $1000 at one time and this scanner does a better job for a fraction of the cost. USB 3.0 is a big plus in terms of speed

Pros
  • great for me
Cons
  • some trouble

Wireless connection problems

This device was unable to find multiple wireless access points and its alternate wireless setup process is not much more reliable. But the worst thing is that once the device comes out of sleep mode, you have to reconfigure the wireless network. This means you'll have to contend with all of its wireless shortcomings every time it wakes from sleep. And there are no configuration options to keep the network interface awake. I returned it. I'm frustrated because I love their scanner software, but…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Not the best

"Error: Cannot use driver " for Big Sur.

Looks like a great scanner. These features make it a reliable scanner. So why the one star rating? It is said to work with Mac OS 11 (Big Sur). It is not. The attached photo shows the error code. My system is iMac 24" with M1 processor. OS 11.4 (Big Sur). CaptureOnTouch version 4.9.21.0518. Tried downloading the latest Big Sur driver. No luck. Rebooted between each attempt. It also wanted, that I keep downloading the latest version of the driver every time I run the scanner Even though I…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Pros
  • FAST AND EFFICIENT - Simultaneously scans both sides of a document in color at up to 40 pages per minute using a 60-page automatic document feeder (ADF), a high-speed connection and a built-in image processor
Cons
  • Some bugs

Pretty good product, with some flaws.

good , I'm biased; I like Canon and have for many years. Took a risk to bring it back to Prime. Took about 20m to install. Lots of ambiguity and poor instructions. Worked after another 10m. Wi-Fi seems to be the best. Never could get a response via USB. (Wi-Fi is preferable in my case.) ADF works fine. No instructions. To scan thick materials like credit cards or driver's licenses, you need to disable the ultrasonic thickness detector in the advanced settings, which isn't obvious. Made about…

Pros
  • HIGH IMAGE QUALITY - can enhance scanned text, rotate images to proper orientation, straighten crooked images, auto-adjust output resolution, remove blank pages, etc. to improve readability, reduce document sorting time, and reduce file size
Cons
  • little things

Good, fast and reliable scanner - but with some shortcomings

Advantages:1. Fast, efficient and reliable scanning with many features/options.2. Enables "long” scanning3. Allows you to split jobs with special pages (to print them separately). However: 1. Not as "cloud ready" as you might think. The scanner must ALWAYS be connected to the computer/application in order to scan. Of course, if it's a requirement, what's the point of scanning to any cloud service when you can scan to PC and upload as needed.2. The interface is not very intuitive and quite…

Pros
  • Paper size: 8.5 x 11
Cons
