Review: Packs-up, sets-up and runs without andy fuss and it does it's job. - UPDATE: I've used this scanner for 4 years; made 1500 or so scans, and it's been totally reliable. If you read my original review below there were a lot of workarounds and quirks in the operation. I thought the driver was flakey, but, today, 3/24/2018, I installed the updated CaptureOnTouch Pro Version 4.1.1617.1103 updated on 11/17/17. Download at CanonUSA. This software must have been the problem all the quirks have been fixed. The scanner capture button works. Scanning starts as soon as paper or cards are loaded. The operations are faster. The configuration options make sense and include intuitive, custom profiles for scanning and file save options so each of your common type of document can be scanned at specific settings, named with custom parameters and saved in a custom folder. It's a resident program in Windows so the scanner responds without any keystrokes. Now if a single sheet of paper is loaded in the feeder tray or a card is touched to the card feeder, they are grabbed, scanned on both sides and returned in 10 seconds or less including the file saved in the right folder. >>>>>>>>>>>> Original review was changed: Spell checked! >>>>>>>>>>> I really like this scanner. When closed for transport all of the sensitive parts are well protected and the latch is secure. I wouldn't toss it into a loose backpack, but for a briefcase or sales case, it's nicely protected. When you open it or more accurately unfold it, you end up with a good sheet-feed scanner that takes up little space and can scan almost anything very easily. The sheet feeder works very well for 10 sheets at a time. Occasionally it chokes and feeds several sheets at a time. All scanners will do this from time to time, but this one is very easy to clear. One simple press latch on the front side. If you get a multi-feed flip the whole stack over and scan it from the bottom. The tops of papers get torn, stapled, clipped and handled making them uneven, but the bottoms of pages are almost always pristine. Flip the whole file right side up in any PDF software with 2 or 3 clicks. The paper guides and paper support were tough to put into such a small package and they are clever, but they also work well. It scans both sides of a page in one pass! Occasionally it scans a blank side, but they are easy to delete. It does not miss any sides. There is a dedicated card scanner built into the front side! It takes a little concentration to get the feel of feeding this card scanner, but once you make peace with it, it works great. Scans both sides and spits the card back out the front. The trick is to insert gently until it trips the sensor. Pushing does not work. Once you get the hang of it you can scan any card you feed it including paper business cards, credit cards, health insurance cards, driver's licenses. The software is good and simple, nothing to do, read, configure or mess with. It's resident and ready in the background, really in the background, unnoticeable. It doesn't take significant computer resources and it starts instantly. I like it. The unique ID plus date/time naming scheme is fine. I let the PDF files stack up in a folder on the desktop and keep scanning during the day and go back and rename when I have time. There are lots of ways you could automate the renaming the PFD's using other software. The one USB cable powers it off of my Dell E6430 without a problem. Older computers may have USB ports that provide less power and you might be able to use a USB doubler cable that pulls power from two USB ports or get a power supply. Since neither are included it's probably very rarely needed. My guess. This scanner seems a little fragile because it uses some clever design tricks to provide a lot of features, but has been durable and solid in day to day use and transport from home to office each week. Packs-up and sets-up and runs without any fuss and does it's job. .
Review: Superior scanner, super fast, durable, great construction - This scanner is better than my expensive scanners and is unbelievably fast. I bought this as I had one day to access discovery in a felony criminal case. Knowing that I couldn't possibly read and take notes on what was in discovery (well over 1,000) pages, I knew that I should scan the documents so that I could review them later. I did have another mobile scanner, but having to feed pages into it one at a time would probably not work for scanning this many pages -- I'd run out of time. I ordered this because the description said that you could put more than one page at a time in the feeder. Very true. This also duplexes in one pass, which is a feature that's not often found on more expensive scanners. I tested this at home before I absolutely needed it and couldn't believe how fast it scanned documents. It passed the paper over the scan area without pauses and so fast that I didn't believe that it could have possibly captured the image. Wrong!!! I loaded the Canon software that came with the scanner and find it to be easy to use, but since I wanted the discovery in with the other documents I'd previously scanned related to this case, I used software that came with another one of my mobile printers. This scanner worked seamlessly with that software. The only thing I regret about this scanner is that I didn't buy it sooner. I have spent so much money on desktop scanners and other brands of mobile scanners and this scanner beats them all. My other scanners are now collecting dust because this scanner is my go-to scanner whether at home or on the road. If it breaks or burns out, I'll buy another one because I won't do without this fantastic little guy. It is slightly heavier than other mobile printers, but not so much as to not be a good choice for someone who has to take their "office" with them when they travel. Parts for this scanner are available from Canon at a reasonable price and replacing the paper feeder and rollers, if necessary, is an easy job to do, unlike other scanners. Canon has made it possible for the consumer to make repairs to this scanner without having to take it in to a repair center or sending it back to Canon. With any piece of equipment that feeds paper through it, after a period of time and reams of paper having passed by the (printer and scanner) rollers, the rollers wear out and need replacing. Repair ease is saves time and money if you can do it yourself. I repair my own equipment and although I haven't needed to replace rollers on this scanner, I recognize how easy it will be to do so when the time comes. This scanner isn't made out of flimsy materials. I bought the case made for it, but I can attest to how durable this scanner is as it's traveled in suitcases when I fly, in the trunk of my car, the backseat of the car (where it fell off onto the floor when I suddenly had to stop), in my computer bag, etc. and not only does it work flawlessly, but it shows no signs of wear. I didn't order the case until weeks after I had the scanner. Scanners designed for office use aren't designed to scan photographs or negatives, and if you need a scanner for photographic purposes, this isn't the scanner you need as it is designed for office-type scanning not the minute detail type scanning photographic scanners need to capture, but it does scan in color.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does scan to email work? Does it utilise the default email on the host PC or can it really scan directly to my Evernote inbox?**
A: It can do either, but only one at a time. The "Job List" is a menu of functions you can perform, and it includes scan to email. Yes, it uses the email on your host computer.When you install Evernote, a new menu option is added. Once you're signed in, you can scan to Evernote.

**Q: Does the included software scan business cards and create Microsoft Outlook contacts and populate fields like Name, address, e-mail address, etc?**
A: I just got his product in Dec 2013 and the install CD DOES come with extra software.  It does NOT get loaded in with the Typical / Default installation though.  You have to do a custom install.  It's called BizCard.  Scans the card and adds the details to the appropriate contact fields in database format.  Exported to places like Outlook, Google Contacts, etc.  I'd say it's about 75% accurate.  Certain type cards don't read well though (like glossy or dark ones).  But it's still a huge timesaver compared to manual entry.

**Q: I had my computer swept for viruses and now I need the software for the P-215. Where can I get it**
A: ditto

**Q: If I have a document larger then 20 pages is there a way to connect 2 scanned groups?**
A: Part 1) Although the document tray only holds 20 pages, you can reload the document tray and continue to add to the "Job" until you're through (I've never reached a max). Then you save the whole "Job".Part 2) If, after you've already saved the documents as .pdf files, you want to make changes, software exists for any computer that allows you to combine (add, delete, etc) particular pages from various pdf files. On a Macintosh, the included (free) Preview app has this functionality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well right away
*by M***5 on February 14, 2012*

I wanted to have a scanner to archive documents, reports, bills, etc. and eliminate paper storage for my home. I didn't need a super fancy business scanner, but I did want an ADF and duplex scanning. The obvious choices are the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300 Instant PDF Sheet-Fed Mobile Scanner (PA03603-B005) and these new Canon Scan-tini products ( Canon imageFORMULA P-150 Portable Document Scanner(Scan-tini) and Canon imageFORMULA P-215 Portable Document Scanner (Scan-tini) ). I read a lot of reviews for the various scanners from these two companies. The Fujitsu scanners are very well regarded in terms of hardware but their software is a little antiquated. The Canon software is supposedly a little better. I don't have the Fujitsu and only played with my new Canon P-215 briefly, so I don't know this for sure. I decided to go with the Canon P-215 instead of the Fujitsu S1300 because: * USB 3.0 (only P-215, not P-150), so can work optimally with just one cable connection * Comes with software for both Windows and Mac (again, only P-215 apparently) * Supports TWAIN driver compatibility * Better default app software (Windows) * Slightly larger ADF capacity (but quality is unclear based on reviews, thought it worked fine for my 2 tests so far) * Scan-tini products minic a flash drive when connected via USB, containing a mini version of their default app software, so you don't need to install any software at all -- Nice if you're using it on other computers while traveling * P-215 also has a cute card-size scanning slot, nice touch The USB 3.0 feature implies to me newer (better?) hardware design. The TWAIN driver compatibility allows other programs to scan directly into them. And I like the option of using it with both Windows and Macs (we use both at home). Those are the biggest advantages for me. But the Canon scanners have these disadvantages: * They don't include other third-party software, i.e. ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap 4.1 which sounds like it does some OCR of the scanned images. I found that the PDFs generated from Canon's default CaptureOnTouch app could search for some words but cut-and-paste of the text from a financial report was very garbled. I found the ABBYY FineReader 11 Professional Edition from a different retailer for a bit less and with a rebate, so I ordered it to perform proper OCR. I don't have it yet but tried the free trial, and its PDF was much smaller and had all the proper OCR recognition performed so cut-and-paste worked very well. * Fujitsu scanning hardware sounds like it may be the best * Scan-tini scanners don't come with the AC adapter (optional accessory)
