Canon Document
Scanner

Document scanners come in a range of different shapes, sizes, and models. The most common categories are as follows: 

Flatbed Scanners

A flatbed scanner is a standard desktop device that works by placing documents or objects on a glass surface, where a scanning head moves beneath the glass to capture the image. Flatbed scanners excel in producing high-resolution images, making them ideal for archiving delicate materials like photos or bound books. A versatile choice for both home and office use, they typically feature a flat glass surface that accommodates documents, photos, and even 3D objects for scanning. They are very user-friendly and can handle a variety of media sizes, from small prints to larger documents, ensuring quality output for both personal and professional needs.

Sheet-Fed Scanners

A sheetfed scanner, also known as an automatic document feeder (ADF) scanner, is a digital imaging device tailored for environments that handle large volumes of paper. This design enables significantly faster scanning by feeding each sheet through the device automatically, making it an efficient choice for offices requiring high-speed and bulk document digitization. These scanners are compact and versatile, capable of handling various paper sizes. With duplex scanning capabilities, they can process both sides of a page in a single pass, saving time and enhancing productivity.

Large Format Scanners

A large format scanner is a specialized device designed to digitize oversized documents, blueprints, posters, and maps, accommodating media wider than standard scanners, typically up to 36 or 44 inches. Large format scanners are essential for industries such as engineering, architecture, and design, where digitizing oversized documents like blueprints, maps, and posters is essential. They often include advanced features such as color correction and image enhancement, ensuring precise reproduction of intricate details and vivid colors in large-scale documents.

Special Purpose Scanners

A special purpose scanner is designed for specific tasks, such as scanning barcodes, film negatives, X-rays, or book pages, catering to niche professional or industrial needs. These specialized devices often come equipped with tailored hardware and software, ensuring reliability and efficiency for industry-specific applications, such as digitizing historical archives or optimizing supply chain operations.
