In September, Canon launched a new
desktop scanner ideal for today’s
paper-light working practices.
For businesses that are serious
about reducing paper in the office or
operate a clear desk policy, a fast and
versatile standalone scanner that can
handle all types of documents, including
bound reports, presentations, books and
magazines, is a must.
The imageFORMULA DR-F120 ticks all
these boxes. It’s fast – capable of scanning
up to 20 pages per minute – and feature-
rich, boasting both a document feeder and
flatbed as standard, which helps to boost
office productivity.
Designed to support a productive
office, this compact device helps offices
to efficiently capture a wide range of
different business documents for improved
file storage and management efficiency,
providing users with exceptional value for
performance.
Incorporating both an Automatic
Document Feeder (ADF) and flatbed
scanner unit, the DR-F120 offers greater
flexibility for organisations that require a
dedicated business scanner to handle the
digitisation of a wide range of business
documents.
Largely positioned for small office
environments and corporate departments,
the imageFORMULA DR-F120 features a
compact, sleek design that saves valuable
desk space while retaining the professional
design synonymous with Canon’s broad
range of office products.
The aesthetic design is teamed with
a collection of features that boost office
productivity and enable office users to
carry out document processing tasks with
ease. From an easy to use ‘one touch’
control panel to impressive scanning
speeds of up to 20ppm, the new scanner is
packed with features to support both ad-
hoc and more routine scanning tasks.
The imageFORMULA DR-F120 reliably
handles up to 800 documents a day and
features a robust feeder mechanism for
reliable, smooth feeding and separation of
mixed document types.
With its Automatic Document Feeder,
the imageFORMULA DR-F120 has the
capability to scan batches of various
documents in a single operation, including
thin and thick papers, business cards and
even long documents up to 1m in length,
while the device’s legal sized flatbed
scanner allows organisations to handle the
vast array of other documents that need
to be scanned individually, from books,
passports and magazines to photos. Even
though the device has a legal sized flatbed
(which is bigger than A4), it still manages
to hold a slim footprint.
The new imageFORMULA DR-F120
includes Canon’s intuitive scanning
software, CaptureOnTouch 3, providing

users with quick scanning modes and
automatic processing tools that result in
optimal image quality with little effort or
set-up required. The software provides
easy to use post-editing features allowing
users to enhance and adjust individually
scanned images, such as changing
contrast settings, colour mode, or even
selecting an area on a scanned image and
saving only that.
With OCR, users can create searchable
and editable PDFs and save documents
to various other file formats. Sharing
documents is also simplified with the
capability to send to multiple destinations
at once as well as upload to popular
cloud-based applications, such as
Sharepoint, DropBox Evernote, OneDrive,
GoogleDrive and SugarSync.
Sean Suematsu, European Document
Scanning Solutions Director at Canon
Europe, said: “Organisations are
increasingly realising the benefits
of moving towards a digitised office
environment and are reaping the rewards
as a result – from the time it saves
employees by having easy and instant
access to important documents, to the
improved office productivity that it
delivers.”
He added: “We’re seeing this
positively impact the appetite for
high-speed business scanning. Our new
imageFORMULA DR-F120 not only offers
reliable, high-speed document capture,
but also delivers the versatile functionality
our customers are looking for at a very
competitive price-point.”
The imageFORMULA DR-F120
document scanner is available across
Europe.
