Canon imageFORMULA DR-C240 Document Scanner

High-Speed Versatility for Data-Intensive Workflows

The Canon imageFORMULA DR-C240 is a compact yet powerful desktop sheet-fed scanner designed to bring high-performance digitization to workgroups and customer-facing environments. Positioned as a “breakthrough” in its value segment, the DR-C240 combines heavy-duty durability with a small footprint, making it the ideal solution for desks where space is at a premium but scanning volume is high.

Whether you are processing thick medical records, thin shipping receipts, or plastic ID cards, this scanner is engineered to handle a wide variety of mixed media with professional-grade precision and speed.

Expansive Key Features & Benefits

1. Professional Scanning Performance

The DR-C240 is built for speed, delivering monochrome scan rates of up to 45 pages per minute (ppm) and 90 images per minute (ipm) in duplex mode. Even in full color, it maintains a productive 30 ppm / 60 ipm. With a suggested daily duty cycle of up to 4,000 scans, it is more than capable of handling the rigors of busy administrative departments, financial institutions, and healthcare clinics.

2. Unique Media Handling & Passport Scanning

One of the standout features of the DR-C240 is its ability to scan passports (up to 4mm thick via an optional carrier sheet), a capability often reserved for much larger or specialized hardware. Its robust feeding mechanism also accommodates:

• Plastic & Embossed Cards: Ideal for scanning IDs and insurance cards.

• Mixed Batches: The 60-sheet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) can process batches of different paper sizes and weights simultaneously.

• Long Documents: Supports scanning of documents up to 3,000mm (3 meters) in length.

• Ultra-Thin Paper: Reliable feeding for delicate documents as thin as 27gsm.

3. Intelligent “Best-in-Class” Reliability

To minimize downtime, the DR-C240 utilizes a high-quality feeding mechanism derived from Canon’s higher-end models. It features Ultrasonic Double-Feed Detection, which identifies when two pages are fed at once, and a Double-Feed Release (DFR) function that allows you to quickly resume scanning after an intentional double-feed (such as an envelope or a document with a sticky note).

4. Advanced Image Processing & Software Bundle

The scanner comes equipped with a suite of professional software to automate your workflow:

• CaptureOnTouch: A user-friendly interface that allows for one-touch scanning directly to cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and SharePoint.

• Kofax VRS: Industry-leading image enhancement technology that automatically cleans up “noisy” documents, ensuring maximum OCR (Optical Character Recognition) accuracy and searchable PDF quality.

• CapturePerfect: Ideal for high-volume batch scanning and providing advanced viewing options and file distribution.

5. Eco-Conscious and Compact Design

Despite its rugged construction, the DR-C240 is incredibly energy efficient, consuming only 19W during operation and 1.4W in sleep mode. Its sleek, U-turn path design ensures that the footprint remains small even while the trays are open, making it a perfect fit for reception desks or teller stations.
