Canon imageFORMULA R10 - Portable Document Scanner, USB Powered, Duplex Scanning, Document Feeder, Easy Setup, Convenient, Perfect for Mobile Users

I'll admit I was concerned about this purchase. The price was very attractive but I had low expectations on function and effective scans. I WAS TOTALLY WRONG! This is a great scanner - and surprised me 100%. I had always purchased another brand (used it for 15 years!!!!) and never dreamed a less expensive - name brand would beat that performance. Perfect for taking on trips - just the right size for easy use or use it for the home office as well. Amazing quality scans! Totally simple software - and a work horse for me!

What a great little scanner. The computer sees it as an external drive. So, when you turn it on, it connects and opens that "drive" folder and that's where the application to scan is. Just run that - very easy to customize - when your done, turn it off and your computer disconnects. Nothing to install. Scans both sides at once and auto detects color or black and white. Of course, you can override to what you want very easily if you need to. Very compact and easy to take with you - we work from the RV some so it's perfect. Also got the case for it.

Ease of use and speed is adequate for my needs. I am becoming paperless and scanning in items daily that need “filing”. Duplex (double sided scanning) is great and works automatically. Sometimes it will scan blank pages but I just delete the blank scan. The document feeder works but isn’t perfect. I sometimes get several pages or partial pages fed and have to start over or do individual pages or delete mis -scanned images. Annoying but not a deal breaker for the price I paid.

I have a HP Envy that is supposed to scan and print. The scan stopped working after a year! So I needed a quick solution for my problem. This solved it. So easy to install and connect to my PC. So far it's been good to me, I've only been using it for a few months and I have not seen or encountered any issues. The scan quality is pretty good too. When you are doing multiple sheets of scanning, I recommend keeping an eye on it. I've done at most 10 pages in one scan. You just have to keep watch so when the pages get picked up to scan, that it is not getting caught. I've never have a problem with 1-3 pages of scanning, but any more, you have to just keep watch. I like it for its' compact size and ease of install and use.

I am sure others will sing this thing's praises, but as far as I am concerned, it is the worst piece of equipment I have practically ever encountered. It either does not engage with the pages at all, or else it swallows the stack whole. Should it accidentally feed 2 or 3 pages in sequence ("auto document feed", right?), they will inevitably be skewed - I have yet to have it feed a single page through in good alignment.The hardware is bad. The software is worse. It is built-in. There is mention of using it "if you do not have a scanner driver," but there is no hint of a scanner driver to download. Granted, I am a Mac user, but the website makes it appear that it is plug-and-play. Not. (Website shows an older launch screen. Of course.)I am trying to replace an old MX922 that served me wonderfully until the ADF started jamming. Not sure what I'm going to do. I bought a car recently, and the finance guy must have scanned about 100 pages in 3 seconds flat with his nifty scanner. Wish I had one of those, but I just don't have the volume in my retiree's home office to justify it.Guess you get what you pay for. Except in this instance you don't. You pay and you get something headed for the landfill.I wanted to share a video, but there's nothing to see. I couldn't get it to work for the video. Bah

Works great once you get the hang of it. Compact and portable

I love the combination of the small, fold-up form factor and the existence of the fold-out guides for the paper(s) to be scanned. I also like that if I feed it a double-sided document, it knows to scan both sides without me having to find a setting in the software. The on-board software is pretty intuitive in general, although I sometimes forget to click "Finish," which leads to PDFs that appear to exist on my computer but can't be accessed until I click "Finish." Also, the software doesn't launch automatically for me when I open the device - the scanner appears like a USB drive in Windows Explorer; I have to open that "drive" in Explorer and double-click the software .exe to start it, but that's no big deal. And the software starts up faster than scanning software I've used with previous, otherwise better scanners.A bigger deal is that the scanner has trouble sensing and gripping the paper after it's placed in the proper place; I end up doing one sheet at a time so I can place it, start the scan, then give it a tap to help the scanner grab it. Fortunately, my scanning needs are usually minimal - a two-page bill, the signature page of my otherwise PDF'd tax return, etc. For that, it's great to have such a small, handy gadget around that can produce something more professional looking than what I can do with just my phone. But if you scan a lot of multi-page documents, you should consider something more substantial.For a while I thought the device didn't work with Windows 11, because it worked initially (when I had Windows 10) but recently could not be recognized by the computer. I eventually realized that was because it didn't like the USB to micro-USB cable I had switched to. (The instructions say to use the cable that came with the device, but mine got stepped on or something and would no longer fit in my computer's USB port.) I tried again with a different (Anker brand) cable and it worked again, so Windows 11 was not the problem.
