As one of the smallest duplex A4 scanners on the market, it is perfect for users on the road, in the office, or at home. The imageFORMULA P-150’s tiny footprint and stylish design is well-suited to SOHO environments, where desk space may often be limited, while the easy operation allows newcomers to document scanning to quickly get started. The scanner is also the perfect tool for mobile executives who need to instantly transfer documents back to the office whilst on the move visiting customers or travelling on business. Purchase orders, commission claims, contracts, monthly accounts, receipts, photographs or written notes can be scanned and transferred to the office from any remote or customer locations. It suits a variety of industry sectors, including banking, insurance, government, healthcare, transport, telecommunications or education, where document archiving, retrieval and storage are vital for their success. Sean Suematsu, European Document Scanning Solutions Director, Canon Europe says, “The Canon design team have reinvented the portable scanner with the one of the fastest, lightest, quickest products in its class combined with a contemporary black-silk finish, demonstrating that we are leading the way in imaging technology, innovation and style in this market. “Imagine the salesman or broker out on the road who has to transfer documents back to their office for processing. In recent years, they have had to travel perhaps once or twice a week to transfer the hardcopy documents to the office. With its USB-powered fast scanning operation and ultra-compact design, the Canon imageFORMULA P-150 improves worker productivity so they can scan documents wherever they are and transfer documents back to their office instantly at the touch of a button.” The built-in CaptureOnTouch Lite software allows users to connect to any available desktop or laptop PC without the need to install additional driver or application software packages, making the imageFORMULA P-150 scanner truly portable. For ease of use it also comes bundled with Canon’s standard version of CaptureOnTouch software, enabling simple and fast processing for routine scanning tasks and one-touch scanning for instant document capture. High precision scanning quality is enhanced with built-in features such as auto page size detection, de-skew, auto text orientation and colour detection. The scanner includes ISIS and TWAIN standard drivers for easy integration with any desktop applications. In addition the bundled software package includes BizCard Reader to scan and import business card details, and Paperport for the easy filing, management and the retrieval of documents. The Canon imageFORMULA P-150 will be available across Europe from November, 2009.
