Canon new imageFORMULA P-208II portable scanner

Canon Middle East, world-leader in imaging solutions, today enhances its scanning portfolio with the new imageFORMULA P-208II portable scanner.

Replacing the imageFORMULA P-208, the compact and stylish P-208II portable scanner is the perfect choice for travelling executives and home users. The newly-designed paper feeder tray makes it easier to load multiple documents onto the 10-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF), while the device offers the same productive double-sided scanning speeds of up to 16ipm as its predecessor.

The bundled software has been updated with new versions of CaptureOnTouch (Ver. 3), CaptureOnTouch Lite (Ver. 3) and BizCard, providing users with a more simplified scanning operation, enhanced post-scan image processing and connectivity to popular cloud applications such as Dropbox, OneDrive and Evernote.

Hendrik Verbrugghe, Marketing Director, Canon Middle East, said : “We’ve seen a lot of changes in the document capture market over the years, mostly driven by changing IT technologies, infrastructures and business working practices. Businesses are now constantly looking for new solutions to fast-track the processing of paper-based information, whether employees are visiting clients, working in remote branches or from home. Our new imageFORMULA P-208II device combines productive USB-powered scanning with an ultra-compact, lightweight design for efficient processing of document based information whether scanning from the home, on the road or in the office. ”

The P-208II is Windows and Mac compatible, includes standard ISIS and TWAIN drivers, and is Kofax VirtualReScan® (VRS) ready.

The new imageFORMULA P-208II is now available through all Canon sales offices and selected distributor partners across Middle East.
